Florence Nightingale was born in England in 1820 Into a wealthy family, but she did not want to lead an idle life and persuaded her father to let her learn to be a nurse. When the Crimean War began, she volunteered to go and help. At the front line there were many sick and wounded people who were not properly cared for. Florence worked almost around the clock for which she earned the name "The Lady with the Lamp". Her fame reached London before she did, and when she returned, she was already a celebrity. After the war she wrote a book and founded a nursing school. Florence died in 1970 at the age of 90.

Once there was a farmer who had a very old and thin cow. It didn't give much milk anymore, just a cup or two a day. The farmer's wife decided that they had to sell it. “Go to the market,” she said to her husband, “and sell our cow “But nobody will buy such an old cow!” said the farmer. "Well, tell everyone that she only looks old, but in reality, she is wonderful and gives us a lot of milk.” The farmer agreed. He stood with the cow all day long at the market telling unbelievable stories about the wonderful cow. His love for the cow grew with his own stories, and by the end of the day he started believing in them. When no one bought the cow, he said to himself, "Why did I even decide to sell such a fantastic cow?” and went home happy.
