Recently, the 100-year-old pub in the next town over burnt down. It happened on Christmas Eve. It was a terrible tragedy, likely due to an issue with the ancient electrical circuitry in the building. The family passes the blackened ruins of the building often, and Annie has come up with her own theories for what caused the building to burn down. After thinking hard about the most likely explanations for the fire, she made some illustrations to further elucidate her theories.
1. Maybe there was a storm, and the inhabitants of the pub needed to light a fire to keep warm. And then they blew on the fire, and the pub caught fire and burned down.
2. Perhaps someone inside the pub had a birthday cake with a candle on top, and she had to blow it out, and maybe when she blew it out the smoke went everywhere.
3. Maybe they were cooking pancakes in the pub, and they forgot to turn off the pan and the house burned down.
4. Perhaps a car crashed into the restaurant, which caused it to burn down. It was a robot car without any people in it. We don’t see the crashed car when we pass the pub because it sank down into the water. Annie acknowledges that there is presently no water around the pub, and is not certain where the water went.
