Why do you also to you, and come back?






Food for Thought ... or ... Why do you also to you and return?
In the early 20th century, a Scottish farmer returning home. Passing the marshes, he heard a cry for help. The farmer ran to the voice and saw a boy trying to get out of the quagmire. The farmer quickly cut a thick branch, carefully approached and handed thread drowning. When the boy got out, he could not calm the tears, he was trembling.
 - Come to my house, - said the farmer. - You need to calm down and keep warm.
 - No, no - the boy shook his head - I was waiting for my father. He must be very worried.
After thanking his savior, the boy ran away ... And in the morning the farmer saw that his home drove a carriage drawn by thoroughbreds. From the coach left a well-dressed gentleman and asked:
 - It's you last saved the life of my son?
 - Yes, I am, - said the farmer.
 - How much do I owe you?
 - Do not hurt me, sir. You do not need me. I did what had to do a normal person.
 - No, I can not leave it just like that, because my son is very dear to me. Name any amount - the visitor insisted.
 - I do not want to talk about it. Bye. - The farmer turned to leave. And then he jumped onto the porch of his little son.
 - Is that your son? - I asked the guest.
 - Yes - the farmer replied proudly, stroking the boy's head.
 - Let's do so. I'll take your son with me to London and paid for his education. If he is as noble as his father, neither you nor I will not regret this decision.
Several years passed. Farmer's son graduated from high school, then medical university, and soon his name became internationally known as the name of the man who discovered penicillin. His name was Alexander Flemming.
Before the war, one of London's hospitals admitted with severe pneumonia, the son of the gentleman. Do you think that saved his life this time? - Yes, penicillin, Alexander Fleming opened.
Name gentleman gave education Fleming was Randolph Churchill. And his son was Winston Churchill, who later became prime minister of England. Perhaps these events recalled Winston Churchill, saying, "Do you, for you and return the same».
