only had one dime (一角硬币) left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
However, he didn't beg when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a
drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of hot milk. He drank it
slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe (欠) you?" "You don't owe me anything," she replied.
"Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness." He said, "Then I thank you from the bottom
of my heart." As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased
his confidence in God and the human race. He was about to give up before this point.
Years later the young woman became seriously ill. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists
can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, who was a famous doctor now was also
invited for the consultation (会诊). When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light
filled his eyes. At once, he went into her room. He recognized her. He went back to the consultation room
and decided to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her illness.
Finally the woman was saved. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him. 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 thought that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and read these words,
"Paid in full with a glass of milk. Dr. Howard Kelly" Tears of joy came into her eyes as she prayed (祈祷)
silently: "Thank you, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands."

When the girl went out of the room, the friend said, “I hear she’s a little foolish. You’d better ask her some questions. If she answers them well, you can hire her.”
Mr. Green agreed and called the girl in again. He asked, “What would you be a servant for?”
“My mother is often ill,” the girl said, crying, “I have to stop studying and find work. I want to get some money to buy some medicine for her.”
“Where’s your father, then?”
“He died last year.” answered the girl.
“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that,” said Mr. Green, “And how did he die?”
“He went to London on business and had a high fever. The doctor couldn’t save him and he died in the capital.”
“How many times had your father been to London?”
“Three times.”
Mr. Green was happy. He thought that the girl was not foolish at all, but he wanted to have a last try. So he asked, “Which of the three times did your father die in London?”
The girl thought for a while and said, “I’m sorry I don’t know. When he died there, I was at school.”
