An eight﹣year﹣old girl named Tina heard her parents talking about her little brother． All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money． When she heard her dad say to her mom， "Only a miracle（奇迹）can save him now"， Tina went to her bedroom and took all her money out of a small box and counted it carefully． Then she made her way six blocks to the local drugstore（药店）．

"And what do you want？ "asked the owner of the store．

"It's for my little brother． "Tina answered． "He's really， really sick and I want to buy a miracle． His name is Mike and he is two years younger than me． Now he has something bad growing inside his head and my dad says only a miracle can save him．

"We don't sell miracles here， child． I'm sorry， "the owner said， smiling sadly at Tina．

In the store there was a well﹣dressed customer． He asked Tina． "What kind of miracle does your brother need？

"I don't know， "she replied． "He's really sick and my mom says he needs an operation （手术），But my dad can't pay for it ，so i have brought all my him．"

"How much do you have？"asked the man．

"One dollar and seven cents， but I can try and get some more， "she answered quietly．

" Well， what a coincidence （巧合）， smiled the man． "One dollar and seven centsthe exact price of a miracle for a little brother． Take me to where you live． I want to see your brother and meet your parents．
