Answer:

Matilda lived with her Aunt, who was a firm believer in truth and, in fact, (unsuccessfully) instructed Matilda in truth from her youth

Matilda, on the other hand, had a fondness for telling lies, particularly--it would seem--the sort that involve practical jokes. One day Matilda, left alone (and unguarded!) phoned "London's Noble Fir-Brigade," or fire fighters, and told them that her Aunt's house was burning down.

The Brigade came to the rescue with water hoses blaring out water. They entered the ballroom and drenched it then turned to drenching the paintings to preserve them from burning. Matilda's Aunt had a very difficult time convincing the fire fighters that there was no fire to fight, for, you see, Matilda had said there was .... The Aunt was finally successful and convinced them there was no fire and then paid them--yes, paid them--to go.

But Matilda was obliged to stay at home as punishment for calling out the Fire-Brigade and causing the ballroom to be drenched and the family heirloom painting to be soaked. It chanced that while the Aunt was enjoying The Second Mrs. Tanqueray, a fire did break out at home with Matilda there alone (I wonder who started it?). As she felt the flames grow hotter, no one would believe her impassioned cries of "Fire! Fire!" as she hollered out the window. They responded by saying "Little Liar!" This is why the ending of the is that
