Papa thinks the slide is a fire escape..... and he's right.
I told all about the teeter-totters, the swings made out of log chains, the funnylooking pipe that ran up the side of the building, and how I had climbed up in it and slid out like the other kids. I didn’t tell them how I came out. “I think that was a fire escape,” Papa said. “Fire escape!” I said. “It looked like a slide to me.” “Did you notice where it made that bend up at the top?” he asked. I nodded my head. “Well, inside the school there’s a door,” he said. “If the school gets on fire,
they open the door. The children jump in the pipe and slide out to safety.” “Boy, that’s a keen way of getting out of a fire,” I said. “Well, it’s getting late,” Papa said. “We’ll talk about this some other time.
