The mother answered,“When my son was a baby, he was in a room that caught fire. Everyone was   24  afraid to go in because the fire was   25   ，so I went in. As I was running toward his bed, I saw a piece of wood coming down and I placed myself over him trying to protect him. I was knocked senseless but   26  , a fireman came in and saved both of us.” She touched（摸着） the   27  side of her face. “This scar will be  28 ,but to this day, I have never regretted what I did.”
