Surprises According To Humphrey (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
Even though she acted angry, I don’t think Mrs. Brisbane thought his prank was that bad. After all, it was very clever of him to think of recording the bell. True to his word, Jeff Herman stopped by our classroom late in the day. He showed us pictures of very cool fire engines with noisy sirens, and he told us not to play with matches (which I’ve never done). He said that if you are in a building that’s on fire, you should “stay low and go.” That means you should stay low to the ground and get out of the building. Then he told us something very important: if your clothes ever catch on fire, you should remember three things. “Who knows what those three things are?” he asked. Seth and Garth raised their hands right away, but before anyone called on them, Heidi blurted out, “Stop, drop and roll!” “Raise-Your-Hand-Heidi Hopper. Please!” Mrs. Brisbane sounded really annoyed. “Sorry, Mr. Herman,” she told the firefighter. He just smiled and explained that if you or a friend ever have your clothes catch on fire, you should stop, drop to the floor and roll.
