12.An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother.All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money.Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother."Only a miracle can save him now,"the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore (藥店) with the money in her hand.
"And what do you want?"asked the salesman."It's for my little brother,"the girl answered."He's really; really sick and I want to buy a miracle."
"Pardon?"said the salesman.
"My brother Andrew has something bad growing in-side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him.So how much does a miracle cost?"
"We don't sell a miracle here,child.I'm sorry,"the salesman said with a smile.
"Listen,if it isn't enough,I can try and get some more.Just tell me how much it costs."
A well-dressed man heard it and asked,"What kind of a miracle does your brother need?"
"I don't know,"she answered with her eyes full of tears."He's really sick and mum says he needs an operation.But my daddy can't pay for it,so I have brought all my money."
"How much do you have?"asked the man."
"﹩1.11,but I can try and get some more,"she answered.
"Well,what luck,"smiled the man."﹩1.11,the price of a miracle for little brothers."
He took up the girl's hand and said,"Take me to where you live.I want to see your brother and meet your parents.Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need."
That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong,a famous doctor.The operation was successful and it wasn't long before Andrew was home again.
