And we called the firemen--the braw laddies frae all the world, who set to work and never stopped till the fire was oot.

Noo they've gaed hame aboot their other business.

We'll no be wanting to call them oot again.

It was a cruel, hard task they had; it was a terrible ficht they had tae make.
It's sma' wonder, after such a conflagration, that there's spots i' the world where there's a bit of flame still smouldering.

It's for us tae see that they're a' stamped oot, those bits of fire that are still burning.
