Luck - Remember to send it back!,<BR><BR></FONT></P>
<P><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">His name
was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to
make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby
bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.<BR></FONT></P>
<P><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">There,
mired to his waist in black muck, 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.<BR></FONT></P>
<P><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">The next
day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings An
elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father
of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.<BR></FONT></P>
<P><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">"I want to
repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."<BR></FONT></P>
<P><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">"No, I
can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied waving off
the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the
family hovel.<BR></FONT></P>
<P><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">"Is that
your son?" the nobleman asked.<BR></FONT></P>
<P><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">"Yes," the
farmer replied proudly.<BR></FONT></P>
<P><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">"I'll make
you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will
enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a
man we both will be proud of." And that he did.<BR></FONT></P>
<P><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">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.<BR></FONT></P>
<P><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">Years
afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken
with pneumonia.<BR>What saved his life this time? Penicillin.<BR></FONT></P>
<P><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">The name of
the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name?<BR>Sir Winston
Churchill.<BR></FONT></P>
<P><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">Someone
once said: What goes around comes around.<BR>Work like you don't need the
money.<BR>Love like you've never been hurt.<BR>Dance like nobody's
watching.<BR>Sing like nobody's listening.<BR>Live like it's Heaven on
Earth.<BR></FONT></P>
<P><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">It's
National Friendship Week. Send this to everyone you consider A
FRIEND.<BR>Pass this on, and brighten someone's day.<BR></FONT></P>
<P><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">I hope it
works...<BR>May there always be work for your hands to do;<BR>May your purse
always hold a coin or two;<BR>May the sun always shine on your
windowpane;<BR>May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;<BR>May the hand
of a friend always be near you;<BR>May God fill your heart with gladness to
cheer you.<BR></FONT></P>
