The story of a glass of milk
One day, a poor boy was selling goods door to door in order to save enough money for his tuition. The summer sunshine bakes the city with unprecedented heat. When everyone is looking for a little coolness in the room, he is worried about his still full package. It's been a whole day, but people in a block don't seem interested in his goods. By this time this afternoon, none of them had been sold.
After a hard day's work, he didn't eat a meal or even drink water. After all, every time he touches his whole body, he only has a dime. How else are you going to work? Because he wants to make money, he feels he must stick to it. But hungry, he can never stand the fatigue caused by hunger. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to beg at home.
I made up my mind when I knocked at the door, but I finally relented. When a beautiful girl opened the door of her house, the little boy was a little at a loss. He wants to be firm and doesn't want women to see his embarrassment. Stubborn, he didn't want to eat, but politely asked, "Can I have some water?" Seeing his appearance, the woman probably guessed that he was hungry, so she went into the house and took out a large glass of milk and handed it to the boy. The boy paused, but he saw the woman's comforting eyes, so he drank the milk slowly and asked, "How much should I pay?" The young woman smiled at her and replied, "No need to pay. My mother taught me that giving love requires nothing in return. " The boy listened and said gratefully, "Then, please accept my heartfelt thanks!" " "Say that finish, the boy gently left the family.
However, after he left, he not only felt energetic, but also seemed to see everyone's smiles and constantly encouraged him to say, Come on, you will succeed. As a result, the boy's manhood was suddenly generated like a flash flood. In fact, the day before the sale, the boy had made up his mind to drop out of school. However, a full glass of milk and the woman's smile finally made him give up the idea of dropping out of school, which aroused his courage to continue his struggle.
Many years later, the young woman was seriously ill and lived in unbearable pain every day, and the local doctors could do nothing about it. Later, he was transferred to a big city for treatment and received expert consultation and treatment. The poor little boy is now a famous doctor Howard Kelly, and he also participated in the formulation of the treatment plan. When he saw the patient's address written on the medical record, a scene from many years ago flashed through his mind. He got up at once and went straight to the ward. In the ward, Dr. Kelly recognized the patient lying in bed at a glance as the benefactor who had helped him. Knowing the situation, he returned to his office and made up his mind to try his best to cure the benefactor's illness. From that day on, he took special care of patients, constantly tried to reduce their pain and psychological burden, and studied relevant information almost all night, hoping to find a good treatment. After hard work, the doctors decided to operate on the patient, and his condition would be much better after the operation. It's just that the cost of such an operation is beyond the reach of ordinary people. The young woman is at a loss because all her property will be put on such a life-and-death operation. Dr. Kelly patiently advised her, and finally made her abandon all other thoughts and concentrate on the operation. After careful preparation and unremitting efforts, the operation was a complete success.
Dr Kelly asked that the medical bill be sent to the young lady. Next to the notice, Dr. Kelly signed it himself. When the notice was delivered to this special patient, she didn't even have the courage to take a look, because she was convinced that the cost of treatment would ruin her. After an operation, she almost lost everything. Finally, she finally got up the courage and gently opened the notice of medical expenses. The small print next to it caught her attention, and she couldn't help but read it out softly: "Medical expenses-a full glass of milk, Dr. Howard Kelly". She cried, as if she had seen a poor little boy and his grateful heart on that hot afternoon many years ago.
