"It's 5 my little brother," the girl answered back. "He's really,really sick and I want to buy a 6 . His name is Andrew and he has something 7 growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him."
"We don't 8 miracles here,child. I'm sorry," the chemist said,smiling 9 at the little girl.
In the shop was a 10 customer. He stooped (彎腰) down and asked the little girl, "What kind of miracle does your brother 11 ?"
"I don't know," she replied. "He's really sick and mommy says he needs 12 But my daddy can't pay for it,so I have brought my 13 .”
"How much do you have?" asked the man.
"One dollar and eleven cents,14 I can try and get some more”，she answered quietly.
"Well,what a coincidence," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents―the 15 price of a miracle for little brother. 16 me to where you live. I want to see your brother and 17 your parents."
That welldressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong,a surgeon. The operation was completed without 18 and it wasn't long before Andrew was 19 again and doing well.
The little girl was happy. She knew exactly how much the miracle cost ... one dollar and eleven cents ... plus the 20 of a little child.

I studied and said' Yes,I could.,I did too. You can go see them if you want to. That building is still there. They are all my bricks,yes sir."I found myself filled with great respect for this man.
