  1. A Glass Of Milk A True Story

  2. A nice poor boy once sold goods from door to door To pay his way through school to learn more and more.

  3. One day, he found he had got only one dime. And he was hungry, suffering a tough time.

  4. He decided he would, at the next house, ask for some simple food. But he panicked when a lady opened the door – looking so good.

  5. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water – his hands shook. The kind lady was so very moved by the boy’s pathetic look.

  6. The lady thought he looked so very hungry. She brought him a large glass of milk happily.

  7. The poor boy drank the milk slowly. “How much do I owe you, Lady ?”

  8. “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied with happiness. Mother has taught us never to accept pay for kindness.”

  9. “I thank you from my heart,” the boy said gratefully. He wiped a tear; he was touched emotionally.

  10. Years later, that kind lady became critically sick. The local doctors were lost – they could not understand it.

  11. They finally sent her to the big city. Her rare disease was studied so carefully.

  12. For consultation, they called in Dr. Howard Kelly. Learning the name of the patient’s town, his heart beat strangely.

  13. Immediately he went to her room to check and see. He recognized her at once as that kind lady.

  14. He was determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he tended to her to keep her alive.

  15. After a long struggle, the battle was won. Without the Doctor, it could not have been done .

  16. Dr. Kelly asked for the medical bill That was meant for the lady who had been ill.

  17. He wrote something on the edge of the bill. To the lady the bill was then sent, sealed.

  18. The lady feared opening the bill to read it. It’d take the rest of her life to pay every bit.

  19. Finally she looked and something caught her eye invitingly. She read, ‘Paid in full with One Glass Of Milk’ ….Signed, Dr. Kelly.

  20. Tears of joy flooded her eyes and her happy heart was really touched. Kindness, love and gratitude are values that we must practise much.
