The farmer welcomed the guest, and the man thanked him greatly for saving his son and gave him a large amount of money. However, the farmer refused to take anything. The rich man tried many times to compensate him, but the farmer refused to accept compensation in exchange for saving the child.
At this moment, a little boy dressed in simple clothes came out of the hut in which the farmer lived. The rich man asked the farmer, "Is this child your son?" The farmer proudly replied, "Yes, he is my son."
After that, the rich man offered to help the farmer’s child with his education, saying to him, “I will give him the same level of education that I give my son.” The farmer agreed to this proposal, and his son was educated in the best schools for the nobles until he graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School.

The years passed, and the rich man who had helped the child with his education fell seriously ill with a lung condition. The person who saved his life this time was Alexander Fleming.
This rich man was Lord Randolph Churchill, and his son, who had been saved by the farmer, was Sir Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during World War II.

The hunchback man used to take the loaf of bread every day, and instead of showing his gratitude to the woman, he kept repeating the same sentence.

Indeed, the woman put poison in the bread and placed it in the window of her house.
The man came, took the bread, and said to the woman: The evil you do will come back to you! At this moment, the woman's heart pounded, and she said to herself, What am I doing? Am I causing the death of a man in the last days of my life? And here, the woman hurriedly took the bread from the man and said to him: This is stale bread; I put it out for the cats. Come with me, and I will give you a fresh loaf.
After that, the woman entered the house, brought a fresh loaf of bread and a bottle of water, and gave them to the hunchback man. Here the man thanked the woman for her kindness and tenderness because she did not allow him to eat stale bread.
The man went on his way, and the woman burned the poisoned loaf of bread.

The old woman was terrified because she had almost killed her son that day. She thanked her Lord immensely, who had made her burn the poisoned bread, and she remembered the words of the hunchback man:
The good you do comes back to you.

10- Ruler of Barbarous Tribes: A Story on Helping Others
The Emperor of China trusted his minister, Wu Feng, because he was wise and firm, so he made him a ruler over the group of tribes living in the Formosa Mountains. These tribes were very barbaric and violent, but Feng was very firm with them. When he punished someone, he talked to him and explained the reason for the punishment.The tribes loved him because of his kindness and justice, and many of their violent temperaments changed. However, there was one annual habit that Feng could not stop: on the feast of their god, some tribal leaders would come down from the mountains to the road leading to the villages, kill the first human they met, cut off his head, and offer it as a sacrifice to their god.
Feng made great efforts to stop this custom, but they completely refused to abolish it. One day, Feng received a message from the Emperor of China saying, "If the habit of beheading doesn't stop on the day of the feast, I will have to summon you to China."
After reading the message, Feng summoned the leaders of the tribes and said to them very firmly, "Honorable leaders, I have tried to be nice to you, but you are determined to disobey. Tomorrow night, I will allow the tribes for the last time to practice this habit. Tomorrow will be the last victim. When the moon appears, you will find a man coming wearing a red cloak. If you want to present him as a sacrifice, cut his neck, but remember that I will no longer allow this habit to be repeated."
The leaders agreed angrily, and the next day, when the moon appeared, they came down from the mountains and found a man wearing a red cloak. They began to sing to their god. Then one of them came forward and struck the head of this stranger. They carried his head and went to the chief of the tribes to give it as a sacrifice to their god.
In the light of the fire torch, the chief of the tribes looked at the head and shouted loudly. Then there was a terrible silence in the place. When the leaders looked toward the head, they found it was the head of their beloved friend Feng!
Feng preferred to die rather than let an innocent person die. He wanted to give them a practical lesson to realize the ugliness of what they were doing. And Feng's death was the last crime they committed to offer a sacrifice to their god.
