WHAT PAVED WAY FOR SIR ALEXANDER FLEMING TO STUDY?

His name was Fleming,and he was 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. 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 Fleming had saved. “I want to repay you for you had saved my son’s life,”said the nobleman. “No,I cant accept payment for what I did,” the farmer replied,waving off the offer. At that moment,the farmer’s son came there. “Is that your son?” the nobleman asked. “Yes,” the farmer replied. “I’ll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father,he will no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of”.Fleming’s son attended the very best schools and he 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 inventor of Penicillin. Years afterward,the same nobleman’s son 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
Its rightly said that, ‘WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND’
