A poor boy lived in a small town. He sold newspapers from door to door to pay for school. One day he had only one cent (分) left, and he was hungry. He decided that he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, when a young woman opened the door, the boy was shy, so he just asked for some water. The woman knew he was hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much should I pay for it?" "You won't pay for it. My mother has told me that it is good to help the people. "
She answered. The boy said, "Then I thank you from my heart." As the boy left that house, he felt stronger. He knew he had many things to do.
Many years later, the young woman became ill. The local doctors couldn't save her.
People had to send her to a big city. The doctor there tried his best and saved her life. The woman asked how much she should pay for it. The doctor told her "You have paid it with a glass of milk."
