> 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 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.
