Once upon a time，there was a poor boy named Tom. He had a dream of becoming a doctor，but he had no money to go to medical school.
One day，he was walking by the river when he noticed a young woman crying. Her name was Mary. Tom asked her why she was crying. She said，"My mother is ill. I don't know what to do."
Tom said，"Don't worry. I can help you." He took her to the nearest hospital.
After a few days，Mary's mother was much better. She was going to be fine in a few more days. Mary was very grateful to Tom for what he had done. She told him that she would help him go to medical school if he wanted to.
Tom was very happy. He worked hard and passed the entrance exam to medical school. In medical school，he studied hard and became a doctor.
