An 8-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him.

One morning, the girl heard her father say to her mother: “Only a miracle can save Andrew now.” The girl went to her bedroom, collected all of her money and counted it carefully. She hurried to a drugstore.

“How can I help you?” asked the salesman.

“I want to buy a miracle,” the girl answered. “My brother has something bad growing inside his head. My daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?”

“We don’t sell miracles here, my dear. I’m so sorry,” the salesman said, sadly.

“What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” asked a well-dressed man standing nearby.

“I don’t know,” she answered. “He’s really sick and needs an operation in his head. So I brought all my money.”

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

“$1.11,” she answered, “ but I can try and get some more.” She said again and again.

“Well, what luck,” said the man. “$1.11 is the price of a miracle. Let’s go to see your brother.”

That man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous brain doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was well again. Sometimes miracles do happen.
