A Glass of Milk | #The Moral No good deed goes unrewarded. There once was a poor boy who spent his days going door-to-door selling newspapers to pay for school. One day # as he was walking his route # he started feeling low and weak. The poor boy was starving # so he decided to ask for food when he came to the next door. The poor boy asked for food but was denied every time # until he reached the door of a girl. He asked for a glass of water # but seeing his poor state # the girl came back with a glass of milk. The boy asked how much he owed her for the milk # but she refused payment. Years later # the girl # who was now a grown woman # fell sick. She went from doctor to doctor # but no one was able to cure her. Finally # she went to the best doctor in town. The doctor spent months treating her until she was finally cured. Despite her happiness # she was afraid she couldn’t afford to pay the bill. But # when the hospital handed her the bill # it read # ‘Paid in full # with a glass of milk.’
