“And what do you want?” asked the chemist.
“It's __40__ my little brother,” the girl answered back. “He's really, really sick and I want to buy a __41__ . His name is Andrew and he has something __42__ growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him.”

He stooped down and asked the little girl, “What kind of miracle does your brother __46__ ?”“I don't know,” she replied. “He's really sick and mommy says he needs __47__ . But my daddy can't pay for it, so I have brought my __48__.”“How much do you have?” asked the man. “One dollar and eleven cents, __49__ I can try and get some more,” she answered quietly.
“Well, what a coincidence(巧合),” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents — the __50__ price of a miracle for little brothers. __51__ me to where you live. I want to see your brother and __52__ your parents.”
