穷学生和小女孩。一个穷苦的学生考上了大学，可是家里没有多余的钱给他交学费，为了实现自己的大学梦，他利用暑假挨家挨户推销商品。为了凑足学费他舍不得多花一分钱，他硬着头皮向人讨些食物。他敲开了一户人家的门，是个小女孩开的门，他不好意思，就只向小女孩要了一杯水解渴。小女孩看他非常饥饿的样子，拿来水的时候还捎带了几块面包。他狼吞虎咽地吃着，小女孩偷偷地在旁边笑着看。吃完后，他问小女孩多少钱。小女孩说不用了，这些食物她家里很多。他很感动，觉得自己非常幸运，在陌生的地方还能得到他人如此温馨的关照。多年以后，小女孩得了很严重病，住进了医院。在医生的尽心医治和护理下，小女孩的病情逐渐缓和，过了一段时间，基本上康复了。出院那天，护士交给她医疗费用账单，她怔了好久都不敢打开，她知道自己可能要花一辈子辛苦工作，才还得起这笔医疗费。最后，他还是打开了，看到了上面空白处有一行字：一杯凉水和几块面包，足够偿还所有的医疗费。她禁不住泪水涟涟，也明白了，主治医师就是当年的那个穷学生。滴水之恩，涌泉相报。善良的人，是不会被生活遗弃的，因为，他（她）的生活里充满了感恩。
