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 and then wrote something on the side.

Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words...
“Paid in full with a glass of milk.
(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly

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。
