ALEXANDER FLEMING

ALEXANDER FLEMING

I am trying to reproduce a story i have read in a magazine. The story goes like this....

There was a farmer in Scotland.His name was Fleming, and he was very poor. One day, while trying to find out a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby field. He dropped his tools and ran to the field. There was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the boy from what could have been a slow
and terrifying death.

The next day, a carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An well dressed man 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.

"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, 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..
