an humble manner – adding bit by bit to their house & possessions like Isak and Inger. Now nothing remained but a black heap – Where were they?  Has anyone burned?  Did anyone care?

      I had the above questions answered tonight by a woman who sat next to me on the bus.  She related the terrible story of how three children were burned to death, two so blackened they were beyond recognition.  The mother forced to go to the grocery locked them in the bedroom.  No ne knew what happened. The oldest, a girl managed to get out of the house but died from her burns.
