Cripple

"Father, I understand, you must go."

"I know my son. I am just afraid when I come back from Russia with the medicine, you shall be taken by the Polio."

"It will happen one way or another, father. Just go."

'Of course my son."

                                                                  TEN HOURS LATER...

"What are you looking for, Sir?" asked a Russian store clerk.

"I need Polio medicine for my son."

"Ahh, yes. That is a terrible disease going on. Since I am of kind at heart, I shall give it to you for free."

"Thank you. How could I ever repay you?"

"All you need to do is send my love to him."

"Of course."

                                                                    TEN HOURS LATER...

 "SON! SON I HAVE IT! I SEARch... Hello?"

A doctor came into the room.

"I am so sorry, sir. You were too late."

"Where is my Rebecca? Where is my wife?"

"She contracted Polio too."

"My family... "

He took pills of the counter.

"SIR NO!"

But it was too late. The last thing he said before he died was

"I want to see my family."
