One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods from door to door found that he only had one dime left. He was hungry so he decided to
36 for a meal at the next house.
However, he lost his nerve
37 a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked 38 so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it
39 , and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
“You don’t owe me anything,” she
40 . “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a __
41 .” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger
42 , but it also increased his faith in God and human race. He was about to give up before this point.
Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled（难住）. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called
43 to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now
44 , was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light
45 his eyes. Immediately, he
46 and went down through the hospital hall into her room.
47 in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He 48 her at once. He went back to the consultation room and
49 to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave
50__attention to her case.
After a long
51 the battle was won. Dr. Kelly
52 the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was
53 that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her
54 . She read these
words…
“Paid in full with a glass of milk.”
(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she
55 silently. “Thank you, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands.”
