Having seen
this story before, without the Irish amendment, I am reminded that the Ancient
Egyptians had already been using some moulds for various medicinal and food
processing purposes, so Fleming was only the latest link in this stage of
harnesing these wonder tools. Don't forget that they also had one of the first
usages of email - called then egyptian hierogliphics - to communicate with!
(Irish Luck
- Remember to send it back!)
I want this
back. It DOES work.
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 inLondon, 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.
The name of
the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill ... His son's name?
Sir Winston
Churchill
Someone once
said:
What goes
around comes around.
Work like
you don't need the money.
Love like
you've never been hurt.
Dance like
nobody's watching.
Sing like
nobody's listening.
Live like
it's Heaven on Earth.
