At the conference, the
people were impressed by the kindness and natural beauty of his
mother despite the scar, but the little boy was still embarrassed
and hid himself from everyone. He did, however, get within earshot
of a conversation between his mother and his teacher, and heard
them speaking.
"How did you get the scar on
your face?" the teacher asked.
The mother replied, "When my
son was a baby, he was in a room that caught on fire. Everyone was
too afraid to go in because the fire was out of control, so I went
in. As I was running toward his crib, I saw a beam coming down and
I placed myself over him trying to protect him. I was knocked
unconscious but fortunately, a fireman came in and saved both of
us." She touched the burned side of her face. "This scar will be
permanent, but to this day, I have never regretted doing what I
did."
At this point, the little
boy came out running towards his mother with tears in his eyes. He
hugged her and felt an overwhelming sense of the sacrifice that his
mother had made for him. He held her hand tightly for the rest of
the day.
