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. Thinking and acting
quickly, 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 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
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 take him and give him
a good education. If the lad is anything like his
father, he’ll grow to a man you can be proud of.”
And that is what he did. In time, Farmer Fleming’s son
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 nobleman’s son was stricken with
pneumonia. What saved him? Penicillin. The name of the
nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son’s name:
Winston Churchill. |
Sherlock
Holmes and Watson are camping in the desert; they set up
their tent and fall asleep. Some hours later, Sherlock
Holmes wakes his friend.
"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you
see."
Watson replies, "Me see millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?" asks Sherlock
Holmes.
Watson ponders for a minute.
"Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there
are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of
planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in
Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter
past three. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all
powerful and we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day
tomorrow. What does it tell you,?"
Sherlock Holmes is silent for a moment, then speaks.
"Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our
tent." |
"What
shall we play today?" said Florence to her best
friend Jenny. "Let's play schools," said
Jenny.
"OK!" said Florence. "But I'm going to be
absent." |
What
did the mouse say when his friend broke his front teeth?
Hard cheese. |
A
friend in need is?
Someone to avoid! |
