Once upon a time, there was a small community where everyone had an important job. One day, the doctor noticed that the thermometer wasn't working properly. So, he asked the mail carrier to deliver a new one. But, on the way to the doctor's office, the mail carrier tripped and dropped the thermometer. It broke into many pieces! Suddenly, the fire alarm went off and the firefighter rushed to put out the fire. The firefighter saw the broken thermometer and thought it was the cause of the fire. He quickly put out the "fire" and proudly returned to the community, only to find out that it was just a false alarm. The doctor and the mail carrier couldn't stop laughing at the firefighter's mistake. The end.
