Irish Luck - Remember to send it back!
I want this back. It DOES
work..
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 attended
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 the 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.
Send this to
everyone you consider
A
FRIEND...
Pass this on, and
brighten some one's day.
AN
IRISH FRIENDSHIP WISH: You had better send
this
back!! Good Luck!
I
hope it works...
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.
and may you be in heaven a
half hour before the devil knows you're
dead.
OK, this is what you have to do....
Send this to all of your friends.
But -
you HAVE to send this within 1 hour from when you open
it !!
