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 left. When she heard her daddy say to her __36__ mother with whispered desperation（绝望）, “ __37 __a miracle（奇迹）can save him now”, the little girl went to her bedroom and took out her piggy bank. She __38__ all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she __39__ her way six blocks to the local drugstore（药店）.

“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.”

“We don't __43__ miracles  here, child. I'm sorry,” the chemist said, smiling __44__ at the little girl.

In the shop was a __45__ customer. 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.”

That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon（外科医生）. The operation was completed without __53__ and it wasn't long __54__ Andrew was home again and doing well.
