Very nice story to spread to...
One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay for his hungry stomach decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. On the way through school, he found he had only one thin dime left and he was very hungry. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. The woman 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."
Years later, that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.
Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor's gown, he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day, he gave special attention to the case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.
He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge, and the bill was sent to her room.
The woman feared opening it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all.
Finally, she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill.
She read these words, "Paid in full with one glass of milk."
Signed,
Dr. Howard Kelly.
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, God, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."

Hi,
Tears rolled down my cheeks as I went through the whole story. It's very touching. The story not only shows the kindness that is filled in their hearts but also proves that humanity is the best religion.

The story was a great illustration differentiating the fruits of mind and heart internally. The deeds done with heart are beneficial and will surely yield fruits at some part of our life - quite inspirational.
