It happened when he off a tractor at his father’s fence company, and was dragged under the machine.
Young Morgan was from the hospital after three and a half months. The first thing he to do was to help pay the bill — $30,000 worth. For a boy of 11 to such a task, the situation seemed .
For five years Morgan roadsides picking up cans and bottles. He thousands of cans and picked up and old newspapers. He never gave up . First, he paid off the $455 ambulance bill. He was still a long way off his parents raised another $9,000 toward the debt.
People began to the injured boy and poured in, totaling $25,000. The bill was paid ！Morgan set aside the money for future education.
What then? Morgan his projects and collected money for the hospital so he could others though the bill was paid up.

There is one word that is on the lips of Americans , day and night -"Sorry."
