One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to
door to pay his way through school, found he had only one dime left, and he was
hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost
his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked
for a glass of water.
She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large
glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has
taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.”
He said, “Then I thank you from my heart.” And he
left.
Years later the young woman became critically ill. The
local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they
called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in
for the consultation. He did his best to save her life and gave his special
attention to the case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. The final
bill from Dr. Kelly was sent to the woman’s room. She feared to open it, for
she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she
had a look, and something caught her attention on the side of the
bill. She read these words …
“Paid in full with one glass of milk”
A guy bought his wife a beautiful diamond ring
for Christmas. After hearing about this extravagant gift, a friend of his said,
“I thought she wanted one of those sporty four-wheel drive vehicles.” “She
did,” he replied, “but where was I going to find a fake Jeep.”
