There
was a poor boy who made a living with selling various objects door to
door, to pay for his school. He was very hungry and felt he couldn’t
walk even a few steps. He decided to ask for food at a house. He
knocked the door and was stunned to see a beautiful young girl in the
door step. With so much hesitation, in spite of his hunger, he asked the
girl to offer a glass of water.
The young girl understood his
hunger through his eyes and offered him milk in a huge glass. With
astonished look he drank the milk very slowly. And asked, how much I
owe you for this milk?
The girl replied ‘I don’t accept anything for kindness.’ With big smile in his face, the boy thanked the girl from the bottom of his heart and left the place.
Years passed by. The young
girl fell ill and was diagnosed with a rarest kind of nervous
condition, which was a complicated condition to treat. While many
experienced doctors baffled at her condition, she was taken to a big
hospital to study about her condition.
Dr. Kevin, a renowned
specialist called in by the hospital to examine her. He gave a visit to
the hospital where she was admitted to learn about the rare condition.
As he entered her room, Dr. Kevin immediately identified who was that
woman!
With all his efforts and
knowledge, Dr.Kevin battled hardly with the disease for weeks and
months. At last, he won over the disease and the woman was completely
cured. Everyone praised the doctor, while the woman was quite afraid
about the hospital bill as she could not afford to pay.
Dr. Kevin asked the hospital
to send their bill to him as he would add his charges. After receiving
the hospital bill, he wrote note and sent it to her. With lots of fear,
she opened the bill and had no idea how much she was charged.
Her eyes filled with tears
and happiness once she opened the bill. She found the bill cancelled
and it was not the reason for her happiness.
She saw the note written by Dr.Kevin - “Bill Paid years ago with a glass of milk!”
