A man and a woman had a son eleven years after they married. They had a happy family and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was four years old, an accident happened. One night the father was very tired after work,so he asked his wife to meet their son and take him home. The mother was very busy in the kitchen,and she forgot about it.
       Later the boy lost his way in the street. When the mother found this, she went to look for him, but she couldn't find him. Then she went to the police station to ask for help. She was very sad and didn't know
how to face her husband. After hearing the bad news,the father humed to the police station. When he saw his wife,he didn't blame her. Instead he said,"l love you,darling ! "
       "If I had picked him up or found this earlier,this would not have happened," the father thought. He
thought there was no point in blaming anyone. His wife also lost her only child. What he could give her
was just consolation and understanding. Several weeks later,with the help of the police,they finally found
their lost son. From then on,they became closer than before. When something bad happens,people always spend lots' of time  blaming others instead of giving others support. Try to learn to forgive,and then you
will find the world is much more wonderful.

       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 money. Only an operation (手术) could save him now and there was no one to
lend them the money. 
       One day she heard her Daddy say to her tearful mother, "Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now."
The little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her piggy bank (存钱罐) from its hiding place. She poured
all the coins out on the floor and counted them carefully. 
       Holding her piggy bank, she ran to the nearby drugs store. she placed her coins on the glass counter.
       "I want to buy a miracle for my little brother. He is really sick." said the little girl to the shop assistant.
       "I beg your pardon?" the shop assistant could hardly believe what he heard.
       "His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a
miracle can save him."
       "We don't sell miracle here, child. I'm sorry," the shop assistant said.
       "Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how
much it costs." 
       In the shop was a well-dressed customer (顾客). His name was Carlton Armstrong. He asked the little
girl, "What kind of miracle does your brother need?" 
       "I don't know," she replied. "He is really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy
can't pay for it." 
        "How much do you have?" asked the man. "One dollar and eleven cents," she answered. "Well," smiled
the man. "A dollar and eleven cents? That is the exact price of a miracle for your little brother. I have the kind
of miracle you need." 
        He took her money in one hand and held her hand with the other. He said, "Take me to where you live.
I want to see your brother and meet your parents." 
        Carlton Armstrong saved Andrew's life by giving him a successful operation. 
        "That operation," her mother said in a low voice, "was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have
cost." The little girl smiled. She knew exactly how much the miracle cost-one dollar and eleven cents.
