In order to fulfill the mental, physical, social and spiritual endevours featuring him and his nuclear family’s subscribers; he hunted, gathered, dried and sold organic manure. One day day in the horrid, scorching and sweltering summer’s heat, he was really dog exhausted and famished. He sighted a long-in-the-tooth, smoky, grass-thatched and rickety grounded hamlet that a whistle was more than enough to bring it to a cropper like a shebang erected on packs of card. Courteously he made a rat-a-tat and the dimpled ineffable bombshell ushered him in giving him a glass of milk yet he had requested for a cup of water. Due to her sticking to her guns, he obliged and thanked her wanting to know how to appreciate her but she told him that she does all to the glory of GOD.

 

A lady was in a comatose and brought into the hospital. She went through the ICU, HDU and the general ward and by the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD’S grace recovered. Money was needed to release her. The General Manager was called and saw the lady and vividly recollected her admission and now her release belayed by financial muscles. He came with a written letter sealed in an envelope. She was too afraid to open it and see her bill that costs an arm and a leg. She gathered courage and opened. Good Heavens! Incredible! The total bill had two strokes of blue Bic writing pen cancelling it saying,”Paid By A Glass Of Milk!” He is none other than the ineffable Doctor Howard Kelly.
