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 [SCRIPT][!-- D(["mb","\u003cbr\u003e both will be proud of.\u0026#39; And that he did.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Farmer Fleming\u0026#39;s son attended the very\u003cbr\u003e best schools and in time, graduated from\u003cbr\u003e St. Mary\u0026#39;s Hospital Medical School in\u003cbr\u003e\n London , and went on to become known\u003cbr\u003e throughout the world as the noted Sir\u003cbr\u003e Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of\u003cbr\u003e Penicillin.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Years afterward, the same nobleman\u0026#39;s son\u003cbr\u003e who was saved from the bog was stricken\u003cbr\u003e with pneumonia.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e What saved his life this time?
