His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to 1)eke out 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.
There, 2)mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the 3)lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy 4)carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's 5)sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.
"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."
"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 6)hovel. "Is that your son?" the nobleman said.
"Yes," the farmer replied proudly.
"I'll make you a deal. Let me take him and give him a good education. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll grow to be a man you can be proud of."
And that he did. In time, Farmer Fleming's son 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 7)Penicillin. Years afterward, the nobleman's son was stricken with 8)pneumonia. What saved him? Penicillin. The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name? Sir 9)Winston Churchill.
他的名字叫佛莱明，是个穷苦的苏格兰农夫。有一天，他正在地里干活为家人谋生计，突然听见附近沼泽地里传来了呼救声。他立刻丢下农具，朝沼泽地奔去。
在沼泽地里，一个男孩齐腰以下完全陷进了黑色的淤泥中。男孩惊恐万分，一边哭叫一边使劲儿挣扎，想要从泥浆里解脱出来。佛莱明救了这个少年。要不是他，少年一定会慢慢地、可怕地死去。
第二天，一辆豪华的马车停在了这个苏格兰农夫贫瘠的土地上。一位穿着考究的贵族从马车里走出来，自称是被救小男孩的父亲。
"我要报答您，"贵族说。"您救了我儿子的命。"
"不，我不能因为这点事接受您的报酬，"苏格兰农夫答道，拒绝了贵族的好意。
这时，农夫自己的儿子走到了他们家小屋的门前。"那是您的儿子吗？"贵族问道。
"是的。"农夫自豪地说。
"我们来做个交易吧，让我把您儿子带走，让他接受良好的教育。要是这少年具有像您一样的高尚品格，他一定会长成一个让您骄傲的人。"
就这样，贵族把孩子带走了。多年以后，农夫佛莱明的儿子从伦敦圣玛丽医药学院毕业。后来，全世界的人都知道了他的名字，他就是著名的亚历山大·佛莱明爵士，第一个发现青霉素的人。又过了许多年，贵族的儿子感染了肺炎。是什么救了他？青霉素。那位贵族的名字？伦道 夫·丘吉尔勋爵。他儿子的名字？温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士。
