Although she was a beautiful woman, there was a scar that covered the right side of her face. The boy never wanted to talk about why or how she got the scar.

At the meeting, the little boy was embarrassed and hid himself from everyone. He did, however, hear 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 fire. Everyone was too afraid to go in because the fire was out of control, so I went in.
