Understanding When asked about his discovery, Sir Alexander Fleming said: “One sometimes finds what one is not looking for” Had he cleaned his laboratory every night and put all his things away like a good little boy, he never would have discovered penicillin, and half of us would be dead right now.

Careful reading 1. Modern hospitals are clean and safe and doctors can cure many diseases. But it was not always so. For a long time, health care was often dangerous and risky.
Careful reading 2. One day in 1928, Fleming was cleaning up the lab after coming home from a holiday. As he was washing the jars and lids, he saw something strange. In one of the jars, a mould was growing.
Careful reading 3. The existence of the mould did not surprise Fleming, but he also noticed that the bacteria around the mould had died and stopped growing.
