Three Fires in the Dark

Ewa works in a tall tower in the forest. She watches for fire. Today a school group is lost in the Black Valley. At nine o'clock, Ewa sees a small fire. Then a second fire. Then a third! Three fires in a triangle. "This is not a forest fire," she says. "This is a message. The children are there!" She calls the rescue team and turns on the big light. At midnight the radio says, "We have them!" Ewa laughs and cries.
