In 1981, in the month of May, my husband and I lived in an apartment.  One night, at 2am, my husband and I were sleeping.  Suddenly, I heard a noise like a fire.  I woke up and jumped out of bed.  I yelled, “Fire!  Fire!”  My husband got up rapidly.  I was in my underwear.  We went out of the room to the living room.  In the living room were my uncle and his wife.  They got up, and we looked from the window to see where the fire was, but we saw that there was no danger.  Suddenly, my uncle said, “Cover your bodies, women.”  In that moment, I remembered that I was in my underwear.  I ran back to my bedroom.
