At last firemen have put out the big forest fire in California.

?t lɑ?st ?fa??m?n h?v p?t a?t e? b?g ?f?r?st ?fa??r ?n ?k?l??f??ni?.

Since then, they have been trying to find out how the fire began.

s?ns e?n, ee? h?v bi?n ?tra??? tu? fa?nd a?t ha? e? ?fa?? b??g?n.

Forest fires often caused by broken glass or by cigarette ends which people carelessly throw away.

?f?r?st ?fa??z ??f(?)n k??zd ba? ?br??k?n glɑ?s ?? ba? ?s?g??r?t ?ndz w?? ?pi?pl ?ke?l?sli θr?? ??we?.

Yesterday the fireman examined the ground carefully but were not able to find any broken glass.

They were also quite sure that cigarette ends did not start the fire.

This morning, however, a firemen accidentally discovered the cause.

He noticed the remains of a snake which was wound round the electric wires of 16,000-volt power line.

In this way, he was able to solve the mystery.

The explanation was simple but very unusual.

A bird had snatched up the snake from the ground and then dropped it on to the wires.

? b??d h?d sn??t ?p e? sne?k fr?m e? gra?nd ?nd e?n dr?pt ?t ?n tu? e? ?wa??z.

The snake then wound itself round the wires.

e? sne?k e?n wu?nd ?t?s?lf ra?nd e? ?wa??z.

When it did so, it sent sparks down to the ground and these immediately started the fire.?

We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning.

I have been trying to get my new room in order.?

This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books.?

e?s?h?z?n?t?bi?n??i?zi?b??k?z?a????n????v?r????θa?z?nd?b?ks.?

To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor.?
