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. 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 son'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 son came to the door of the
family hovel.


'Is that your son?' the nobleman asked.

'Yes,' the farmer replied proudly...

'I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the
level of education my own son 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.' And that he did.

Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and
in time, 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 same nobleman's son who was saved
from the bog was stricken with pneumonia.


What saved his life this time?

Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman?
Lord Randolph Churchill .. His son's name?
Sir Winston Churchill.

Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

Work like you don't need the money.

Love like you've never been hurt.

Dance like nobody's watching.

Sing like nobody's listening.

Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;

May the hand of a friend
always be near you;

May God fill your heart with gladness to
