Paid in Full

            A physician vacationing in the Cumberland mountains stopped at a cabin for a drink of water.  A girl gave him a glass and then said, “Wouldn’t you like to have a glass of cold milk?”  The physician drank it, and offered to pay for it.  The girl said, “No, we like to share.”

            Two years later, the girl was taken dangerously ill and went to Johns Hopkins for a difficult operation.  The parents, who were very poor, worried over the prospective bill.  On leaving the hospital, the girl was handed a bill for $450.00 marked, “Paid by a glass of cold milk.”
