what goes around comes around

Once there was a 8 years old little boy by the name of Howard who went door to door to sell things to earn money for his education.

One day when he was walking from door to door, he felt very hungry but only left 10 cents in his pocket. So he decided to ask for free food when he reach the next house.

However, when he reach the next house, he saw that the lady (owner) was a poor person so he dare not ask for food. Instead, he ask for a glass of water. The lady saw that Howard was so hungry, she gave him a huge glass of milk instead.

When Howard finish the milk, he asked the lady how much he owe her. The lady told him that he owe her nothing as the Lord wants his followers to do good deeds and never ask for return. Howard thank the lady and left the lady's house. When Howard left, he felt that the faith in him that he nearly abandon was getting stronger and he thank the Lord.

20 years later, this very same lady contracted a deadly virus and all doctors from that town couldn't save her. She was send to the biggest city in the country to be treat by a top specialist there.

I think you have guessed it. That top specialist IS that very same boy whom the lady gave the milk to, now called Dr Howard.

The lady did not recognise Howard (who has grown up) but Howard recognise the lady immediately. He did not disclose his identity but he vow to try his best to save that lady. In the end, he succeeded and the lady was cured.

After the operation, Howard ask the nurse to bring the lady's bill to his office. He paid for the lady and wrote an invoice to the lady. When the lady received the invoice, she was damn worried that she will have to work the rest of her life to pay the expensive treatment bill. But when she saw the invoice, these words are written on it.

"You have paid the bill in full with a glass of milk."

The lady then realised that Dr Howard IS that little boy she once gave a glass of milk and she thank the Lord for it. She prayed...

"Thank you Lord, for your love have cross the hands and hearts of men."


End of story. Touching isn't it?
