>>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 it's Heaven on Earth.
>>
>>It's National Friendship Week. Send this to
>>
>>everyone you consider A FRIEND.
>>
>>Pass this on, and brighten someone's day.
>>
>>AN IRISH FRIENDSHIP WISH: You had better send this back!! Good
>>Luck!
>>
>>I hope it works...
>>
>>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.
>>
>>OK, this is what you have to do... Send this to all of your
>>friends.
