What Happened?

Three children aged 3, 4, and 5 died in a fire in Bahrain. They were two sisters and one brother. Their cause of death was smoke inhalationm, trying to light a candle. They tried to light a candle because their parents couldn’t pay their rent and utility bills, cutting off the electricity. “They lived and died off of candle-light”. 

My Opinion

I think it is very sad. A vague statement, but I am pretty speechless after finding out about it. It just makes me think of how lucky I am that my parents pay the bills. I’m also thankful that this didn’t happen to anybody close to me. I just can’t imagine how their parents must feel right now. I hope this doesn’t happen again.
