What goes around comes around

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 its Heaven on Earth.

Pass this on, and brighten some one’s day.

May   there always be work for your hands to   do;

May your purse always hold a coin or two;

May the sun always shine on your windowpane;

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 cheer   you.
