A一杯牛奶的温暖

   一天，一个贫穷的小男孩为了攒够学费正挨家挨户地推销商品。

饥寒交迫的他摸遍全身，却只有一角钱。

于是他决定向下一户人家讨口饭吃。

　　然而，当一位美丽的年轻女子打开房门的时候，这个小男孩却有点不知所措了。

他没有要饭，只乞求给他一口水喝。

这位女子看到他饥饿的样子，就倒了一大杯牛奶给他。

男孩慢慢地喝完牛奶，问道：

“我应该付多少钱？

”

　　年轻女子微笑着回答：

“一分钱也不用付。

我妈妈教导我，施以爱心，不图回报。

”男孩说：

“那么，就请接受我由衷的感谢吧！

”说完，霍华德-凯利就离开了这户人家。

此时的他不仅自己浑身是劲儿，而且更加相信上帝和整个人类。

本来，他都打算放弃了。

　　数年之后，那位女子得了一种罕见的重病，当地医生对此束手无策。

最后，她被转到大城市医治，由专家会诊治疗。

大名鼎鼎的霍华德-凯利医生也参加了医疗方案的制定。

当他听到病人来自的那个城镇的名字时，一个奇怪的念头霎时间闪过他的脑际。

他马上起身直奔她的病房。

　　身穿手术服的凯利医生来到病房，一眼就认出了恩人。

回到会诊室后，他决心一定要竭尽所能来治好她的病。

从那天起，他就特别关照这个对自己有恩的病人。
