The Mark

This incident happened when I had gone to my aunt's house.I was an extremely inquisitive and curious child.Every closed jar, box, bottle or toy, had to be opened and checked out.One day, I discovered a bottle lying on the ground in a dingy corner of the house.The bottle had a rubber cork and the mouth of the bottle was wet with the liquid it contained.I got interested.In a flash of a second, I reached for the bottle, opened it and smelt it.It had a strong smell and then I felt a stinging sensation on the tip of my nose.The bottle contained acid and had burnt the tip of my nose due to contact with it.Even now, after many years, I still have the burnt mark on the tip of my nose.
