What a Good Deed can do... His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog (kumunoy). He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death. The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. "I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my 's life." "No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own came to the door of the family hovel. "Is that your ?" the nobleman asked. "Yes," the farmer replied proudly. "I'll make you a deal", the nobleman said. "Let me provide him with the level of education my will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of." The farmer consented. Farmer Fleming's attended the very best schools and in time, he graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin. Years afterward, the of that same nobleman who had saved young Fleming from the bog was stricken with pneumonia. What saved his life this time? Penicillin. The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His 's name? Sir Winston Churchill, (20th century british prime minister) One of his famous quotes "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty" |
