Description They kept bringing junior high school students. They all said the same thing, "Mother, mother, give me water." The pharmacist told us, "Water isn't good for the burns, but give them some anyhow." I was only slightly injured so I poured some water into a kettle and went around given it out. All of them had skin peeling away, frayed and drooping down from the upper half of the body, from the face and both hands. Their faces were swollen so badly that their eyes were like threads and their mouths like pomegranates.
