一个小男孩请他的妈妈参加他小学里举行的家长会.然而令他沮丧的是,妈妈说她会去参加.其实他很尴尬,因为这样的话,他的同学和老师将会第一次见到他那脸上有一大块疤的妈妈.妈妈的右半边脸几乎都被那块疤遮住了,可是小男孩并不想跟人讲那块疤是怎么来的.
家长会上,其他人都觉得小男孩的妈妈人很好,但小男孩自己还是觉得很尴尬.他躲着每一个人.但他还是清楚地听到了妈妈和老师之间的谈话.
老师问：“你脸上的疤是怎么了?‘
妈妈回答说：“在我儿子小时候,他那间房着火了.火势太猛,没人敢进去,所以我进去了.当时我在往他床边跑,一块燃烧着的木头砸下来,我用身体护住了他,然后我被砸晕了.所幸消防员救了我们.”
她一边抚摸着布满疤痕的那边脸,说：“这块疤是去不掉的,但我从没后悔过.”
小男孩听到这些,再也忍不住,哭着冲向妈妈,抱紧她--母亲是如此伟大!
