To finance his education, a poor boy sells door-to-door items. One day, this boy is really hungry but has no money to buy food. He decides to ask for something to eat when he knocks on the door in the next house.
A beautiful young woman opened the door, and the boy lost his courage. Finally he just asked to be given a glass of water, he was too embarrassed to ask for food. The young lady brought her a glass of milk, which the child drank ravenously.
The boy asked how much he owed. But the woman just smiled and said that her mother had taught her to be nice to others. And he never expected any reward.
The boy left the woman's home with a full stomach and a powerful new heart to continue her education and work hard. But whenever he felt like quitting, he remembered the woman. Someone who has instilled a new belief and perseverance in him.
Years later, in a large city, a prominent surgeon Dr. Howard Kelly was called in to consult a middle-aged woman suffering from a rare disease. When the woman told him the name of the small town where he lives, Dr. Kelly felt a faint memory pop into her mind. Then, suddenly the Doctor woke up. She was the woman who had given her a glass of milk years ago.
Then the doctor continues the consultation by providing the woman with the best care and making sure she gets special attention. In fact, he exerted all his ability as a doctor to save the woman's life.
After a long stay in the hospital with various treatments, the woman was finally ready to return home. The woman is very worried because it will take years to complete the payment of the cost of care during the hospital. The serious illness he suffered and the length of his stay in the hospital had resulted in a considerable bill. However, when he received a bill, he found that Dr. Kelly had paid the entire bill and wrote a small note for her.
Dr. Kelly wrote a note like this: "It's paid in full with a glass of milk".
Moral Message: Continue to do good in your life. Help others even if you can only provide small help. Because the little help you give is very meaningful to others. Believe me, when someday you have trouble, will come help from others. That is the reply from the little help you gave in the past.
