    He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

    The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.

    "I want to repay you. You saved my son's life."

    "No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer.

    Once we understand that in our own life every action will have a similar and equal reaction, once we understand that we will experience the effect of that action, wholesome or unwholesome.

    We will refrain from unwholesome behavior, not wanting to experience the effects of these unwholesome actions.

    And similarly, understanding that wholesome actions have happiness as their fruit, we will cultivate these wholesome actions.

    Reflecting on the Law of Karma, of action and reaction in the moral sphere encourages us to renounce unwholesome actions and cultivate wholesome actions.
