A poor Farmer with the surname of Flemming heard acry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog wherre he found up to the waist in black mud 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 famers sparse home and a nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy the farmer had saved.

>*'I want to repay you,' said the nobleman. 'You saved my son's life.' but the farmer would have none of it at all,. >

At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the
> door of the family cottage

> *'Is that your son?' the nobleman asked. *


> *'Yes,' the farmer replied proudly. *

So the nobleman struck a deal wherrby he would provide the farmers lad with the same level of education his own son would enjoy

> *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. *
