                         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

                                Farmer Fleming's  son attended the very
                               best schools and in time, graduated from

                                London , and went on to become known

                               Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of
                               Penicillin.

 

                                Years afterward, the same nobleman's son
                               who was saved from the bog was stricken
                               with pneumonia.

That's a wonderful story, 49er.  Thanks for sharing it.
Thousands of years ago cats were worshipped.  They have not forgotten.

P.C.

Sir Isaac Newton invented the swinging door....for the convenience of his cat.
