You just never know!

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.
