Narrative Text : Reward For A Glass Of Milk Story

A poor boy sold goods from door to door to pay his school fee. One day, he had only a little money to left and he was very hungry. He decided to ask for some food at the next house he visited. However, he was so nervous when a lovely young woman opened the door.

He only asked a glass of water. The woman thought that the boy was hungry so she gave him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”

“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.”

He said, “Then I thank you from my heart.” As the poor boy left that house, he felt stronger. His faith in God was getting stronger too. He had been ready to stop his study but now he got a spirit to continue it until he became a doctor.

Some years later that young woman became critically ill. She was sent to the big city to cure her disease. The poor boy was the doctor. When he knew the name of the town she came from, he went to meet her. He recognized her at once. He tried hard to save the woman’s life. From then on he gave special attention to the sick woman. After a long struggle, the woman could be cured. The poor boy paid all the bill. He  wrote “Paid in full with one glass of milk” under the bill. When the woman opened the bill, tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart preyed. “Thank you, God, that your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands.”
