一杯牛奶
荷叶/译
一天，一个贫穷的男孩正在挨门挨户兜售商品以凑学费，他发现兜里只有一角钱，饥饿地他决定在下一家讨口饭吃。
然而，当一个可爱的少妇打开家门时，他勇气顿失。他没有要饭而是要了口水喝。少妇认为他看上去很饿，因此给他端来一杯奶。他慢慢喝下，然后问：“我该付多少钱？”
“不必付钱，”她回答：“妈妈教我与人为善，分文不取。”他说：“那么请接受我发自内心地感谢。”当霍华德-凯利离开这家时，他不仅感觉身上有了劲，而且更加相信上帝和人类了。他之前已打算放弃了。
多年后，这位少妇身患重病，本地医生已无能为力。最后她被送进了大城市，请专家共同研究这种罕见的疾病。当时著名的霍华德-凯利大夫被请来会诊。当他听到病人所来自的小镇名称时，眼里出现了异样的光芒。他立刻起身，穿过走廊，来到了她的房间。
身穿白大褂，他走进去看她。他一眼就认出了她。回到会诊室，他决定要尽已所能救她性命。从那时起，他对她的病例给予了特别的关注。
经过长期的努力，这场战役打赢了。霍华德-凯利大夫要求划价处把最后的账单拿过来批复。他看了账单一眼，在一边写上点什么。账单被送到她的房间。她不敢打开，因为她确定无疑这将花掉她的余生才能付清。最后她看了一眼，帐单一旁的字迹吸引了她的注意，她喃喃念道……
已以一杯牛奶全额付清。霍华德-凯利大夫（签名）
