Chicken Soup for the Soul
 
 
=================================================================
 
  Thanks ... Again!
   
       A British family journeyed to Scotland for a summer 
  vacation. The mother and father were looking forward to 
  enjoying the beautiful Scottish countryside with their young 
  son. But one day the son wandered off all by himself and got 
  into trouble. As he walked through the woods, he came across 
  an abandoned swimming hole, and as most boys his age do, he 
  took off his clothes and jumped in. He was totally 
  unprepared for what happened next. Before he had time to 
  enjoy the pool of water, he was seized by a vicious attack 
  of cramps. He began calling for help while fighting a losing 
  battle with the cramps to stay afloat.
       Luckily, it happened that in a nearby field a farm boy 
  was working. When he heard the frantic cries for help, he 
  brought the English boy to safety. The father whose son had 
  been rescued was of course very grateful. The next day, he 
  went to meet the youth who had saved his son's life. As the 
  two talked, the Englishman asked the brave lad what he 
  planned to do with his future. The boy answered, "Oh I 
  suppose I'll be a farmer like my father." The grateful 
  father said, "Is there something else you'd rather do?" "Oh, 
  yes!" answered the Scottish lad. "I've always wanted to be a 
  doctor. But we are poor people and could never afford to pay 
  for my education." "Never mind that," said the Englishman. 
  "You shall have your heart's desire and study medicine. Make 
  your plans, and I'll take care of the costs." So, the 
  Scottish lad did indeed become a doctor.
       There is more. Some years later, in December of 1943, 
  Winston Churchill became very ill with pneumonia while in 
  North Africa. Word was sent to Sir Alexander Fleming, who 
  had discovered the new wonder drug, penicillin, to come 
  immediately. Flying in from England, Dr. Fleming 
  administered his new drug to the ailing prime minister. In 
  doing so, he saved Churchill's life for the second time. For 
  it was the boy Winston Churchill whom Alexander Fleming had 
  rescued from the swimming hole so many years before.
