Farmer Fleming saved the ladfrom what could have been a slow and terrifying death.The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparsesurroundings An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introducedhimself 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 farmerreplied waving off the offer.

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 wenton to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir AlexanderFleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bogwas stricken with pneumonia.What saved his life this time?
