His name was Fleming, a poor Scottish farmer.

One day, 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.

" 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.
