A glass of milk Zhang Bao Tong compiled 2017.12.14

Harward Kelly was a poor kid who had to earn his own money in order to go to school and pay for his tuition. On this day, he took the items in his hand and sold them from house to house. However, he left many homes without selling a single item. It was cold, and he was very hungry, but he had only the last dime on him. So, he decided to go to the next house and ask for something to eat. However, when he saw a lovely young woman open the door, he suddenly lost his courage. He wasn't embarrassed to ask for food, but he just said he wanted some water. The woman saw that he looked cold, and knew that he was hungry, so she brought him a large cup of hot milk. To his surprise, he slowly finished the milk and asked, "How much am I going to pay you?"

The woman smiled and replied, "You don't have to pay me anything. "But my mother told us not to accept gifts from well-wishers." But you are so good, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. ”

After drinking the milk, Harward Kelly felt more energetic and warmer, and his faith in God and man was much stronger, and he was already feeling discouraged and ready to give up on himself.

A few years later, the young woman became seriously ill, and because her illness was rare, the local doctors were helpless to deal with her illness. In the end, they had to send her to a big city and ask a specialist there to treat her for a rare disease. By this time, Harward Kelly had graduated from college and became the attending physician at this large hospital. He was invited to attend a consultation with this patient. When he heard that the female patient was from that familiar town, a strange light flashed in his eyes. He immediately stood up and walked down the hospital hall to her room. Dressed in a doctor's gown, he walked into the ward to see her. He recognized her at once. This reminded him that when he was in the most difficult period of his life, it was this kind woman who gave him the confidence and courage to overcome difficulties. Back in the consultation room, he was determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he paid special attention to her condition, observing and studying her condition wholeheartedly, and thinking of all ways to cure her illness.

After a long period of unremitting efforts, he helped her finally overcome the disease. Dr. Harward Kelly, of course, knew that it would cost a lot of money to cure the disease, so he asked the finance department to hand over the final bill to him. He looked at the bills, annotated a line on the side, and then asked the bills to be given to the woman. When the woman took the bills, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to open them, because she knew that there would be a lot of them, and she would not be able to pay them off for the rest of her life. However, when she opened the bill and read the text on it, something inexplicable caught her attention: "A glass of hot milk pays off." (Signed) Dr. Harward Kelly. ”

Seeing these annotations, the woman soon remembered that Dr. Harward Kelly, who had treated him, was the same young man who had asked her for water, and tears of joy welled up in her eyes at once, and she was so overjoyed that she prayed in her heart: "Thank you, God, that your love has spread to me through the hearts and hands of men." ”
