THE POOR SCOTTISH FARMER

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, 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 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.
