A Scottish family was on vacation and their son decided to go swimming alone, in a farm pond close by. He got caught in a bog and his cries for help were heard by a farm boy who came to his rescue. The boy’s father, a nobleman, was so grateful, that he asked the farm boy what he wanted to be when he grew up. The lad replied that he would like to become a doctor but that he would not be able to because his family was poor and he supposed he would be a farmer like his father.

The father of the child who had been saved, told the boy that he would provide him with the same kind of education as his own son whom he had saved.

Years later, Dr. Flemming, the co-discoverer of Penicillin, was called to the bedside of Winston Churchill, when he was dangerously ill with pneumonia, and the doctor who had saved Winston Churchill when he was a boy, administered Penicillin and again saved his life.
