　　Soon the firemen put out the billowing flames.There were no deaths or injuries，though the motorcycle shop was completely destroyed.

　　Although the fire had damaged our corridor badly，it was put out before it could spread into our flat.Our home had been saved，though everything was covered in soot(黑灰) and an awful smell hung in the air.And

　　I felt terrible for not saving them in my haste.However，the thought of Mum's courageous act in saving a human life brought great relief.

　　Years later，I asked Mum about this incident.She said she was familiar with Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping。When I asked if she was scared：“When a loved one is in danger

　　During my school days，whenever I wrote an essay about courageous deeds，I always focused on soldiers risking their lives to save others.It never occurred to me to write about my mum who had，in her determined way，saved our elderly neighbor.Today I know better.Maria Thomas，a timid and modest lady，someone who would not be mistaken for a superhero，had turned out to be my real hero.
