When I was a little girl, there was the magic of Mercurochrome (红药水). It was good for cuts, scratches (抓痕), or other   36   . My brother and I tested and   37    the powers of Mercurochrome many years ago.

It was summer and hot. Mama was not feeling well and had become   38    tired. She told us that she was going to   39    on her bed. Only a few minutes had passed when Ronnie   40    a scratch on his knee that needed immediate   41   . We tiptoed(踮脚走) into Mama's room and asked her if we could put Mercurochrome on Ronnie's scratch.   42   

on her back, Mama had fallen into a deep sleep and made no answer.

We stole into the bathroom and took the Mercurochrome and   43    Ronnie's knee. Undoubtedly, he immediately began to feel better.   44   , we tiptoed into Mama's room to show her that we had taken care of our scratches without   45    her. But she was in sound sleep. Then we whispered that   46    Mama didn't feel well, perhaps Mercurochrome would make her feel   47   .

Twenty minutes   48   , we painted every scratch and every freckle(雀斑)of Mama's skin. She had Mercurochrome   49    her legs, arms and face. At Ronnie's encouraging, we    50     tried to paint her fingernails and toenails.

When Mama screamed in   51   , we knew that she was awake. With all the   52   , it didn't seem at first that she was feeling better,   53    she burst into laughter as she stared at her image in the mirror.

We laughed a lot the next few days. If anyone had asked us, we would have   54    that Mama had been cured by the   55    of Mercurochrome.
