L-4【两个父亲, 两个儿子】

(注,太过忙碌,来一趟不容易了,谨致歉!)

 

这篇文章, 是同事和我分享的. 是个广为流传的传奇式故事。文章很短, 朋友你读读. 非常非常好的故事. 我末了会加简短的翻译.

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.


故事说的是, 有一次, 一位农夫救了一位有钱人的儿子. 有钱人很感激, 要给农夫一大笔钱. 农夫说他不能因做了好事而接受这钱. 这时农夫的儿子进来了, 有钱人就说, 那好吧, 让我负责把你的儿子送去接受高等教育.

于是在有钱人的帮助下农夫的儿子进了最好的一家医学院学习. 后来他成为举世闻名的青霉素发明者Alexander Fleming.

有钱人的儿子有一回得了肺炎, 肺炎那个时候可是要命的病.  什么东西救了他? 青霉素! 这位被青霉素救了的有钱人的儿子, 就是后来顶顶有名的温斯顿. 邱吉尔!

读了这文章, 你会感觉到 世间万物的因果联系, 你会体会到 “种瓜得瓜, 种豆得豆”, “善有善报” 等等谚语, 真是非常非常深刻的生活真理!

顺便说一句, ALEXANDER FLEMING 的功劳, 可不在邱吉尔之下. 青霉素,  标志着人类历史的一个旅程碑, 它救了多少人的命啊.  直到青霉素问世, 病毒才真的被 “道” 所制服. 虽然后来魔会高一尺, 但 “道” 也总有办法升级. 当今医学界乃至整个人类, 你能想象没有抗生素的情况吗?

做事, 就象你不为钱一样,
去爱, 就象你心从未被伤过一般
不为喝彩而舞
不为掌声而歌
在地上, 活得有如人在天堂
.......



我被这最后一句,  深深的感动! ~~
