• Hello Friend,
  
    His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish
  farmer. One day, while trying to make 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 provide him with the level
  of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad
  is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow
  to be a man we both will be proud of." And that
  he did.
  
  Farmer Fleming's son attached the very best
  schools and in time, 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 same nobleman's son who
  was saved from the bog was stricken with
  pneumonia.
  
   What saved his life this time? 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 money.
  Love like you've never been hurt.
  Dance like nobody's watching.
  Sing like nobody's listening.
  Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
  
  It's National Friendship Week. Send
  this to everyone you consider A FRIEND.
  
  Pass this on, and brighten someones day.
  
  Best regards.

      May there always be work for your hands to do;
           May your purse always hold a coin or two;
       May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
   May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
      May the hand of a friend always be near you;
  May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
