A Fire Hydrant's Revenge - Hardcoverby Christian Sigmon (Author) A fire hydrant has a solitary existence; he is a permanent fixture in cement next to the street. He can withstand all kinds of weather, and people often kick him, splash him, or sit on him. He has seen many different events with happiness and joy or pain and tears.
