>>> 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.
