Happiness and the MIDAS touch

In the 19th Century, lived a poor boy.

He was very poor, yet he was a merry old soul. He was always there to help those in needs and make friends. He also liked to read books and travel the whole world helping others.

As always, the righteous will always be rewarded sooner or later.

One day, he saved a rich boy from drowning.

The rich boy's parents rewarded the boy, by sending him to study medicine.

Since then, the poor boy seems to have the Midas touch, everything that he wants, it is to his heart desire. Fame, wealth and even friendship of the Nobel came easy to him.

Yet, he was not happy and he prayed daily for the only thing that seems to be out of reach of him, which is "happiness."

So, he decided to join a health mission in Tunisia. Suddenly, the Prime Minister of England came to Tunisia and contracted malaria on the trip. The poor boy was the one that saved him.

The Prime Minister of England recognized after recovery from malaria that, the doctor, was the same boy, that saves him from drowning when he was young.

History of the world would have change course definitely, if not because of this poor boy and his motivation to seek the holy grail of happiness.

The Prime Minister of England at that time was Lord Winston Churchill and the poor boy name was Sir Alexander Fleming, the founder of Penicillin, who saved millions of lives during WW2, from a serendipitous recovery.


Moral of the Story: "If you help the poor, you are lending to the lord." And "One good turn deserves another."
