An eight-year-old child, Tess, heard her parents talking about her little brother, Andrew.
All she knew was that Andrew was very sick and her parents did not have enough money for
the treatment. They were moving into a smaller house because they could not afford to
stay in the present house after paying the doctor’s bills. He needed a costly surgery now
and there was no one to loan them the money, so her parents lost their hope and gave up When Tess heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle can save him
now,” she went to her room and pulled a jar of coins from a cupboard. She poured all the
money out on the floor and counted it carefully. Holding the jar tightly, she made her way
to the medical store and placed it on the glass table.
“What do you want?” asked the chemist. “It’s for my little brother,” Tess answered,
“He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”
“We don’t sell miracles here, child. I’m sorry,” the chemist said, smiling sadly at the
little girl. “Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.” At the shop there was a well-dressed customer. He bent down and asked the little girl,
“What kind of miracle does your brother need?” “I don’t know,” she replied with her eyes
welling up. “He’s really sick and Mummy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t
pay for it, so I have brought my savings.” “How much do you have?” asked the man. “One
dollar and eleven cents, but I can try and get some more,” she answered barely audible.
“Wonderful,” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents, the exact price of a miracle
for your little brother!” He took her money in one hand and held her hand with the other.
He said, “Take me to your home. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s
see if I have the kind of miracle he needs.”
That well-dressed man was Dr.Carlton Armstrong, a famous neurosurgeon. He had
Andrew admitted to hospital where he operated on him without any charges. Within a few
weeks Andrew was back at home and doing well.
“That surgery,” her Mum whispered, “was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost.” Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much the miracle cost - one dollar and eleven cents....plus the love of a little child.
Imagine that you are Tess. You went to the chemist to buy a miracle. But the
chemist does not have a miracle. Then a doctor enquired why you need a miracle.
Now you write a conversation between Tess and doctor.
You may include:
Sickness is your bother Andrew.
Your parents’ financial status.
How worried are your parents?
Your parents’ efforts to save your brother.
