Answer:
Anna Avalon saved the narrator from the house fire that must have been started by the ashes that her father must have thrown in the bin. She took off her own clothes, and with just her inner-wear, she jumped through to the window with the help of a half broken ladder and brought the little girl safely down.
Explanation:
The narrator of "The Leap" Louise Erdrich tells of how she was indebted to her now-blind mother for her very existence. Not only once, but thrice is she indebted to her for the life she is living now.
One such incident was when she was seven years old. The narrator was asleep on the first floor of the house when a fire started and engulfed the whole house. It also burned the only stairway that led upstairs. The babysitter had called the emergency workers and had gone outside. When the narrator's parents came, her mother Anna Avalon decided to take things on her own and jumped into the room through the window. Using her past training as a circus performer, <em>"she made her way up and, along her stomach, inched the length of a bough that curved above the branch that brushed the roof"</em>. Then she took the narrator and "<em>flew</em>" out of the window and safely into the firefighter's net, thus saving her life.
