Heard this yesterday.
In England , three children were playing near a stream at the bottom of their property when a young boy fell in and started to drown. The gardener seeing this happen, jumped into the river and saved the little boys life. The parents were so grateful they asked the gardener what they could for him. He replied that he would like to be able to send his son to University to become a Doctor. The parents said they would be very happy to pay all fees, and they did and the boy became a Doctor.
The boy that was saved from the river was Sir Winston Churchill. When he was Prime Minister he fell gravely ill and his personal physician said he would find the best Doctor that he knows to come and see him. The Doctor came immediately to see Winston and cured his complaint which saved his life.
The Doctor was Sir Ian Fleming the inventor of Penicillin and he was also the Son of the gardener that saved Winstons life. Winston said later- Never has one family saved the life of another twice and the rest is History.

Another doctor who aided Winston Churchill and many others to this day. Charles Granville Rob.

This is a myth - it certainly makes a good story but sadly it's false:

Interesting. Have a 200 litre drum connected to gutters to collect water for hanging baskets. Cleaning it out one year I found a small fish that I was unable to identify. The tank is covered so an egg must have washed out of the gutter? Put it in a fish tank but unfortunately it died.
