This may be one of those urban legends, but it's good one anyway for
helping us all to work at having a positive attitude toward our 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.
