All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money. 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. She hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand. “And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “Its for my little brother.” The girl answered. “Hes really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesman. “My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We dont sell a miracle here, child. Im sorry.” the salesman said with a smile. “Listen, if it isnt enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.” A well-dressed man heard this and asked, “What kind of miracle does your brother need?” “I dont know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “Hes really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy cant pay for it, so I have brought all my money.” “How much do you have? asked the man. “$1.11, but I can try and get some more.” she answered. “Well, what luck,” smiled the man, “$1.11, the price of a miracle for your little brother.” He took up the girls hand and said, “Take me to where you live.

Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me. When I turned around, I nearly knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted angrily. She ran away, crying. That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said to me. “You were so rude to Betty. Go and look around on the kitchen floor, and youll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself pink, yellow, and your favourite blue.” When I heard this, I thought deeply. “While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite, but with my daughter, I was not patient.” I felt sad and tears began to fall. I quietly went to Bettys bed, “Wake up, my dear!” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” she smiled. “I found them by the tree. I knew you liked them, especially the blue. ” I said, “I am so sorry that I treated you that way today.” And she whispered(悄声说)， “Mommy, thats okay.
