What is given is never lost
He was called DESIRE, a poor Scottish farmer.
One day, while trying to earn his family's life,
he heard a call for help from a nearby swamp.
He dropped his tools,
ran there, and found there a young boy, pressed to the waist
in the swamp, frightened, shouting and trying to free himself.
The farmer saved the young man from what might have been a slow and cruel death.
The next day an elegant team arrived at the farm.
A nobleman, elegantly dressed, came out and presented himself
as the father of the boy the farmer had helped.
"I want to reward you," said the nobleman.
You saved my son's life!
"I can not accept payment for what I did," replied the Scottish farmer.
At the same moment the farmer's son came to the door of the cabin.
- This is your son? asked the nobleman.
"Yes," replied the farmer proudly.
"Then I propose a bargain."
Allow me to offer your son the same education as my son.
If the son resembles the father, I am sure
that he will be a man from whom both will be proud.
And the farmer agreed.
The son of farmer Fleming attended the best schools
and to the grand finale,
he graduated from the School of Medicine at the St. Mary's Hospital in London.
A bearer of great aspiration, he continued to be known to the whole world.
The famous Dr. Alexander Fleming had indeed discovered penicillin.
Years later, the son of the same nobleman
who had been rescued from the swamp, suffered from pneumonia.
Who saved his life this time? Penicillin.
What was the name of the nobleman?
Sir Randolph Churchill and his son, Sir Winston Churchill.
Someone once said:
"Everything that goes, comes back ..."
Works like you do not need money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like no one is watching you.
Sing as if no one listened to you.
Live as if Heaven was on Earth.
