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.

“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.
