Question

An eight?year?old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were 36 . When she heard her dad say to her tearful mother. “Only a miracle(奇迹)can save him now”, the little girl hurried to the chemist’s (药店)37 all her pocket money in hand.

“What do you want？”asked the chemist.

“My little brother is really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle. He has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him.”

“We don’t 38 miracles here, child. I'm sorry.”the chemist said, looking 39 at the little girl.

In the shop was a well?dressed customer. He asked the little girl,“What kind of miracle does your brother 40？”

“I don’t know，”she replied.“He’s really sick and mommy says he needs a(n) 41. But my daddy can’t 42 it, so I have brought all my pocket money.”

“How much do you have？”asked the man

“One dollar and eleven cents，”she answerred quietly.

“Well, what a coincidence(巧合)，”smiled the man.“A dollar and eleven cents the 43 price of a miracle for your little brother.”

That man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a doctor. The operation was completed for free and it wasn’t long 44 the little brother was home and well again.

The little girl was happy. She knew exactly how much the miracle cost…one dollar and eleven cents…plus(加)the 45 of a little child.
