10. A Glass of Milk – Paid in Full
One day, a poor boy who
was selling goods from door
to door to pay his way
through school, found he
had only one thin dime left,
and he was hungry. He
decided he would ask for a
meal at the next house.
11. However, he lost his nerve
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 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.”
