His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. It is alleged that one day, while trying to make out 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 take him and give him a good education. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll grow to a man you can be proud of."

And that he did. In time, Farmer Fleming's son 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 nobleman's son was stricken with pneumonia. What saved him? 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.

Su nombre era Fleming, y era un pobre campesino escocés. Se alega que de un día, mientras trataba de hacer una vida para su familia, escuchó un grito de ayuda desde un pantano cercano. Dejó sus herramientas y corrió hacia el pantano. Allí sumida a su cintura en el lodo negro, estaba un niño aterrorizado, gritando y esforzándose por liberarse. Granjero Fleming salvó al muchacho de lo que podría haber sido una muerte lenta y terrible.

Al día siguiente, un carruaje elegante detuvo al entorno escaso de los rieles. Un noble elegantemente vestido salió y se presentó como el padre del muchacho que granjero Fleming había salvado.

"Quiero darte las gracias," dijo el noble. "Salvó la vida de mi hijo". "No, no puedo aceptar pago por lo que hice," respondió el granjero escocés, agitando la oferta. En ese momento, el hijo del granjero vino a la puerta de la choza familiar. "Es tu hijo?" preguntó el noble. "Sí", el agricultor respondió con orgullo. "Voy a hacer te un trato. Déjame llevarlo y darle una buena educación. Si el muchacho es como su padre, crecerá a un hombre que puede estar orgulloso de. "

Y que lo hizo. En el tiempo, hijo del granjero Fleming se graduó de la escuela de médica del Hospital St. Mary en Londres y pasó a ser conocida en todo el mundo como el célebre Sir Alexander Fleming, el descubridor de la penicilina.

Años después, el hijo del noble era afectado por una neumonía. ¿Lo que lo salvó? Penicilina.

¿El nombre del noble? Lord Randolph Churchill. ¿El nombre de su hijo? Sir Winston Churchill. Alguien dijo una vez: ¿Qué va, vuelve. Trabajo como si no tienes el dinero. Ama como si nunca te has herido. Baila como si nadie está mirando.
