Charles jumped up immediately and patted his leg. "Oh, I forgot to add the water. I was just about to do it when you came. My noodles have burned!" he rushed into the kitchen.
Sarah yelled from outside, "Charles… Charles… " but didn't get a response. She had no choice but to jump down and walk toward the kitchen. Walking in, she saw black smoke rising from the pan of burnt noodles. Charles gave it to her and said, "I put out the fire. But… It seems that… my noodles are burned."
