Creepy! That’s EXACTLY the same firework that I thought of when reading this story. The Friendship Pagoda was her favorite and we had to buy one every year. It spins, whistles, then at the end it pops up and has a small read lantern burning in the windows.

That would have been something to see, if the real one did that too. I would have paid good money to see that.
Maybe the arsonist was a just a dumb **** who thought the same thing.
