When 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 money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.

"And what do you want？" asked the salesman. "It's for my little brother，" the girl answered. "He's really， really sick and I want to buy a miracle."
"Pardon？" said the salesman.
"My brother Andrew has something bad growing in-side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost？" "We don't sell a miracle here， child. I'm sorry，" the salesman said with a smile.
"Listen， if it isn't enough， I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs."
