問題詳情：

An eight­year­old 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 __21__mother with desperation(絕望)，“__22__ a miracle(奇蹟) can save him now.” the little girl went to her bedroom and took out her piggy bank. She __23__all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she __24__her way six blocks to the local drugstore(*店).

“And what do you want？” asked the chemist.

“It's __25__ my little brother，” the girl answered back. “He's really, really sick and I want to buy a __26__. His name is Andrew and he has something __27__ growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him.”

“We don't __28__miracles here, child. I'm sorry，” the chemist said, smiling __29__ at the little girl. In the shop was a __30__ customer. He stooped(彎腰) down and asked the little girl, “What kind of miracle does your brother __31__？”

“I don't know，” she replied. “He's really sick and daddy says he needs a(n) __32__. But my daddy can't pay for it, so I have brought my __33__．”

“How much do you have？” asked the man.

“One dollar and eleven cents，__34__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 __35__price of a miracle for your little brother. __36__me to where you live. I want to see your brother and __37__ your parents.”
