just wait a second

A man was praying to God.

He said, "God?"

God responded, "Yes?"

And the Guy said, "Can I ask a question?"

"Go right ahead", God said.

"God, what is a million years to you?"

God said, "A million years to me is only a second."

The man wondered.

Then he asked, "God, what is a million dollars worth to you?"

God said, "A million dollars to me is a penny."

So the man said, "God can I have a penny?"

And God cheerfully said,

"Sure!...... .just wait a second."

A SHORT STORY

Alexander Fleming

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer

One day, while trying to eke out a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog
There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved
"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life
"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel

"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked. "Yes," the farmer replied proudly

"I'll make you a deal. Let me take him and give him a good education

If the lad is anything like his father, he'll grow to a man you can be proud of
And that he did
In time, Farmer Fleming's son graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London , and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin
Years afterward, the nobleman's son was stricken with pneumonia 

What saved him? Penicillin

الکساندر فلمینگ

کشاورز فقیر اسکاتلندی  فلمینگ نام داشت.
يك روز، در حالي كه به دنبال امرار معاش خانواده اش بود، از باتلاقي در آن نزديكي صداي درخواست كمك را شنید، وسايلش را بر روي زمين انداخت و به سمت باتلاق دوید.
پسری وحشت زده که تا كمر در باتلاق فرو رفته بود، فرياد مي زد و تلاش مي كرد تا خودش را آزاد كند. فارمر فلمينگ او را از مرگي تدریجی و وحشتناك نجات می دهد.
روز بعد، كالسكه اي مجلل به منزل محقر فارمر فلمينگ رسید. مرد اشراف زاده خود را به عنوان پدر پسري معرفي کرد كه فارمر فلمينگ نجاتش داده بود.
 اشراف زاده گفت: " مي خواهم جبران كنم ". "شما زندگي پسرم را نجات دادی".
کشاورز اسکاتلندی جواب داد: " من نمي توانم براي كاري كه انجام داده ام پولی بگيرم". پيشنهادش را نمی پذیرد. در همين لحظه پسر كشاورز وارد كلبه شد.
اشراف زاده پرسید: " پسر شماست؟"
كشاورز با افتخار جواب داد:"بله"
با هم معامله مي كنيم. اجازه بدهيد او را همراه خودم ببرم تا تحصيل كند. اگر شبيه پدرش باشد، به مردي تبديل خواهد شد كه تو به او افتخار خواهي كرد.
