To pay for his education, a poor child sells goods door to door. One day, this boy is really hungry but has no money to buy food. He decided to ask for something to eat when he knocked on the door at the next house.
A beautiful young woman opened the door, and the child lost his courage. Finally he only asked to be given a glass of water, he was too shy to ask for food. The young woman brought him a glass of milk, which the child immediately drew greedily.
The boy asks how much he owes. But the woman just smiled and said that her mother had taught her to be kind to others. And he never expected anything in return.
The boy left the woman's house with a full stomach and a heart full of new strength to continue her education and continue to work hard. But every time he felt like stopping, he remembered the woman. Someone who has instilled new faith and fortitude in himself.
Years later, in a large city, a well-known surgeon Dr. Howard Kelly was called in to consult with a middle-aged woman suffering from a rare disease. When the woman told him the name of the small town where he lived, Dr. Kelly felt a faint memory appear in her mind. Then, suddenly the doctor realized. She is the woman who gave him a glass of milk years ago.
Then the doctor continues the consultation by providing the woman with the best care and ensuring she gets special attention. In fact, he mobilized all his abilities as a doctor to save her life.
After a long period of hospitalization through various treatments, the woman was finally ready to return home. The woman was very worried because it would take years to complete payment of her treatment costs while in hospital. The serious illness he suffered and the length of time he stayed in the hospital had resulted in a substantial bill. However, when he received the bill, he found out that Dr. Kelly had paid all of her bills and written little notes for her.
Dr. Kelly writes notes like this: "Paid in full with a glass of milk."
Moral Message: Continue to do good in your life. Help others even if you can only give a little help. Because the little help you give means so much to others. Believe me, when one day you have difficulty, help will come from others. That is the reward from the small help you have given in the past.
