An 8-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother Andrew. All she knew was that he was very ____ and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could ____ him.

One morning, the girl heard her father say to her mother: “Only a miracle(奇迹) can save Andrew now.” The girl went to her bedroom, collected all of her money and counted it ____. She hurried to a drugstore.

“How can I help you?” asked the salesman.

“I want to buy a miracle,” the girl answered. “My brother has something ____ growing inside his head. My daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle ____?”

“We don’t sell miracles here, my dear. I’m so sorry,” the salesman said ____.

“What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” asked a well-dressed man standing nearby.

“I don’t know,” she answered. “He’s really sick and needs an operation in his head. So I ____ all my money.”

“____ do you have?” asked the man.

“$1.11,” she answered, “but I can try and get some more.” She said again and again.

“Well, what luck,” said the man. “$1.11 is the ____ of a miracle. Let’s go to see your brother.”

That man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous brain doctor. The operation was ____ and it wasn’t long before Andrew was well again. Sometimes miracles do happen.
