    The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September, 1666. In four days it destroyed
more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One
hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.  
    The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King"s baker (面包师) in Pudding Lane. The baker,
with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from
the bakery (面包房) into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the
beginning.
    By eight o"clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning
along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old
St Paul"s and the Guildhall among them.  
    Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor
people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.  
    The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the
fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.  
    After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect (建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new
houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow; but he did build more than fifty churches, among them new
St Paul"s.  
    The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of
the past.
