Tess was an eight-year-old girl when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money. Only a very expensive surgery(手术) could save him. Her dad said to her tearful Mother , “Only a miracle(奇迹) can save him now.”
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a box from its hiding place. She poured all the change out and counted it carefully. Then she went to Rexall’s Drug Store. The pharmacist asked: “What do you want?” “Well, I want to buy a miracle. My brother’s really, really sick. He has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We sell kinds of medicines but don’t sell miracles here, little girl. Sorry!” “Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn’t enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.”
Just then the pharmacist’s brother came in. “How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago. “One dollar and eleven cents.” “Well,” smiled the man, “It’s the exact price of a miracle for little brothers!”
That man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a doctor especially experienced in neurosurgery(神经外科). The surgery was completed for free and it turned out to be a big success. Tess’s Mom said, “I wonder how much the miracle would have cost.” Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost — one dollar and eleven cents.
