One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he had ten cents left. He was hungry so he decided to beg* for a meal at the next house.

However, he lost his courage when a lovely young woman opened the door. He only 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 pay you?"
"You don't pay me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught me never to accept the pay for a kindness." He said, "Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words:
"Paid." (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly
