They were moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didn’t have the money for the doctor’s bills and their house .Only a(n) _____could save him now.
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly(果冻) jar from its hiding place. She poured all the out on the floor and counted carefully. Three times,even.The total had to be absolutely exact. No here for mistakes. After carefully placing the coins back in the jar, she slipped out of the back door, and her way six blocks to a chemist’s.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist (药剂师) to give her some ,but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a noise. Nothing. She cleared her with the most awful sound she could muster. No good.
Finally the pharmacist asked in an tone of voice, “What do you want? I’m talking to my brother from Chicago I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “His name is Andrew and he has something bad inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry, I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, his voice a little.
There was a man there whose clothes were admirable. He asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know” Tess replied with tears in her eyes. “I just know he's sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay it, so I want to use my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered.
“A dollar and eleven cents ― the price of a miracle for your little brother,” smiled the man, “Take me to you live. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
