P. 7
there day after day, never moving, David talked
to him and encouraged him. Then, one day,
John briefly regained consciousness, and David
asked, “John, why did you save my life,
especially after how I treated you?”
John feebly answered, “I could never return
home knowing I hadn’t tried to rescue a
brother.” Those were the last words he ever
spoke, for the next day he passed away.
When, sometime later, David became heir
to a great fortune, he never forgot John, and
when people asked him why he spent his life
and his fortune helping others, he simply said,
“I could never return home knowing I hadn’t
tried to rescue a brother.”
