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 __26__ left. When she heard her daddy say to her __27__ mother, “Only a miracle（奇迹）can save him now”, the little girl went to her bedroom and took out her piggy bank（存钱罐）. She poured__28__ the change （零钱）out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she walked six blocks to the local __29__.

“And what do you want?” asked the chemist.

“It’s for my little __30__,” the girl answered back. “He’s really, really sick and I want to get a __31__. His name is Andrew and he has something __32__ growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him.”

“We don’t __33__ miracles here, child. I’m sorry,” the chemist said, smiling __34__ at the little girl.

In the shop was a __35__ customer. He bent down and asked the little girl, “What kind of miracle does your brother __36__?”

“I don’t know,” she replied. “He’s really sick and mommy says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t __37__ for it, so I have brought my __38__.”

“How much do you have?” asked the man.

“One dollar and eleven cents, __39__ 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 exact __40__of a miracle for your little brother. __41__ me to where you live. I want to see your brother and __42__ your parents.”

That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon（外科医生）. The operation was completed __43__ and before long Andrew was __44__ again.

Only a very  32 surgery (外科手术) could help him now but they had no money to  33 it. She heard Daddy whisper  34  , “Only  a miracle (奇迹) can save him now.”

Sally went to her bedroom and  35  her piggy-bank (存钱罐) from its hiding place. She  36 all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she  37  out of her house and made her way to the corner  38   store.

“I want to buy a miracle to save my brother,” said Sally.

“We don’t sell miracles here. I can’t 39  you,” said the pharmacist (药剂师).

There was a well-dressed man who was in the store. He  40  and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”

“Sorry, I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. 41  my family can’t pay for it, so I have my money,” Sally answered, 42  coming down her cheek.

“How much do you have?” asked the man. “A dollar and eleven cents,” Sally answered, 43  . “Well, what a coincidence (巧合) ,” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents is the exact price of a(n) 44  to save your little brother.” He took her money and said, “ 45  me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. ”

That man was a 46  surgeon (外科医生) , specializing in treating Georgie’s illness. The operation was completed without 47  and it wasn’t long until Georgie was home again and doing well. “That  48  ,”Sally’s mommy said, “is like a miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost.”

Sally smiled. She knew 49   how much a miracle cost … plus the 50  of a little child.
