A poor boy who was begging from door to door to feed his hungry stomach, decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, at the
next house he lost his nerve when a lovely young girl opened the door. So instead of a meal, he asked for a glass of water.
The girl thought, he looked hungry. So, she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, & asked thereafter : 'how much do I owe you for this ? You don't owe me anything, she replied. Mother has taught us never to accept
pay for kindness. He said, then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Years later, that girl (now a woman) became critically ill, and the local doctors tried their possible best to save her life but they couldn't
cure her. They finally sent her to the big city where specialists studied her rare illness. Dr. Kelly was called in for the consultation, when he heard the name of the town where she came
from, a strange light filled his eyes.
Immediately, he rose & went down the hall of the hospital to her room. He recognised her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life.
From that day, he gave special attention to that case. After a long struggle, the battle was won and the woman was cured. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass her final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the bill and It was sent to her room.
The woman feared opening it cos she was sure it might take the rest of her life savings to pay for it . Finally she looked at it and noticed something was written at the edge of the note,
'Paid In Full With a Glass of Milk'. Tears filled her eyes as she immediately remembered.
Every form of kindness you show is never in vain, it reproduces itself. So the question u ask ur self is do i show kindness to people or I care for my self alone
