What does the word "man" mean?

Christmas is just around the corner!

To start moving into this magical Christmas time of floating atmosphere of kindness and interpersonal help we would like to tell you a beautiful and authentic story about the power of goodness!

It happened at the end of the 19th century in England. A farmer named Fleming went out to his field as he did every morning. While working, he heard screams coming from a marshy forest nearby. He dropped everything and rushed to see what was going on. On the spot, he saw a little boy who was stuck in the wetland and drowning desperately trying to get out of the swamp. The man quickly grabbed a long bough lying on the ground and slid it up to the boy so that he had something to grab onto. In this way he managed to save the child, from death. The little boy, after getting out of the trap, scared, ran away without a word. The farmer returned to his duties.

In the evening, the man returned home - his wife and a bunch of his children. They sat down to supper together. Suddenly a knock sounded. The farmer got up and went to open the door, checking who was on the other side of it and what he is doing on the doorstep of his house at such a late hour.

-Good evening. - The stranger introduced himself, a gentleman in a elegant suit and a stylish cylinder on his head.

-Good evening. - The farmer replied.

At the side of the mighty gentleman stood the boy, whom during the day the was rescued by the farmer.

-Do you recognize this child? - The man asked.

-He recognizes, this is the boy I pulled out of the wetlands today. - The farmer replied.

-This is my son, I don't have the words to thank you for saving him, but at least accept this money from me. - Said the distinguished man, pulling out a purse.

-No money I will not accept, it is a normal and human thing that we help others. - Replied the farmer, and at that moment his son ran to his feet, curious as to who it was that appeared at the threshold of their house.

- This is your son," the man asked.

- Mine. - The farmer replied.

- Since you do not want money, and I very much want to repay you, I offer to provide my son with the education you will not be able to able to give him. - The farmer, knowing that the mighty lord is right and indeed will never will not be able to give his son the kind of education that is just on the table as an offer, he agreed after a brief consideration.

The son of an elegant man and a farmer, they became friends and together went to the best school in the country to study there. One of them went to law, and the other to medicine. Years passed, and the boys grew up sticking together. This was the period when the then deadly human influenza. This virus at one point grew in strength to such an extent that it it was already necessary to speak of an epidemic. The microbe decimating the population pushed the the farmer's son to work intensively on a vaccine. As you may now you have guessed, the then little boy went into medicine, and his name was Alexander...Alexander Fleming - the inventor of penicillin. In this way, the man, saved his friend who was studying law, and his name was...Winston Churchill..

In this short parable, we wanted to, as they say "restore faith in man" and inspire you during this magical holiday time to do good, because as the classic used to say:

Goodness is the only thing that if you share, it multiplies.
