Price Of A Miracle
Tess was a precocious eight-year-old girl when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money. They were moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didn’t have the money for the doctor’s bills and our house. Only a very costly surgery could save him now and it was looking like there was no-one to loan them the money. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother with whispered desperation, Only a miracle can save him now. Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall’s Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door. She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster. No good. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it! And what do you want? the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen in ages, he said without waiting for a reply to his question. Well, I want to talk to you about my brother, Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle. I beg your pardon? said the pharmacist. His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost? We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you, the pharmacist said, softening a little. Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn’t enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs. The pharmacist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, What kind of a miracle does your brother need? I don’t know, Tess replied with her eyes welling up. I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money. How much do you have? asked the man from Chicago. One dollar and eleven cents, Tess answered barely audibly. And it’s all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to. Well, what a coincidence, smiled the man. A dollar and eleven cents — the exact price of a miracle for little brothers. He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mitten and said Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need. That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neurosurgery. The operation was completed without charge and it wasn’t long until Andrew was home again and doing well. Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. That surgery, her Mom whispered, was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost? Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost one dollar and eleven cents plus the faith of a little child. 听爸爸妈妈谈起小弟安德鲁的事情时，苔丝已
是一个早熟的8岁小女孩。她只知道弟弟病得很厉害，父母却无钱给他医治。下个月他们要搬到一个公寓房，因为爸爸已经无力支付医药费和我们的房款。 现在唯一可以救他的办法就是做手术，但手术费用非常昂贵，没有人肯借钱给我们。她听到爸爸对满含泪水的妈妈低声而绝望地说：现在只有奇迹可以救他了。 苔丝回到房间，从壁橱一个隐藏的地方拿出一个玻璃瓶子，把里面所有的零钱倒在地上并仔细数了3次，直到确定无误。 她仔细地把硬币放回瓶子并把盖子拧好，悄悄地从后门溜出去，穿过六条街区，来到门上有红色印地安语大标志的Rexall药店。 她耐心地等待着药剂师，可是药剂师非常忙，并没有注意她。苔丝扭动着她的脚弄出摩擦的声音，没有反映。她大声地清清嗓子，还是没反映。 最后，她从瓶子里拿出个2角5分的硬币摔在玻璃柜台上，弄出清脆的响声。成功了！你需要点什么？药剂师不耐烦地问，我要去接我的弟弟，他从芝加哥来，我们很多年没见了。他没等苔丝说话就接着说起来。 我想跟你说下我弟弟的事情。苔丝回答，他真的病得很严重我想为他买个奇迹。 你说什么？药剂师问到，他叫安德鲁，他病得很厉害，爸爸说现在只有奇迹能救他。所以，请问奇迹多少钱？ 我们这里不卖奇迹，小女孩，很抱歉不能帮助你，药剂师稍带温和地说。 听着，我有很多钱，如果这里的不够，我就回去取剩下的，请告诉我奇迹多少钱？ 这时候，药剂师的弟弟来了，他是个穿着很得体的男人。他问小女孩你弟弟需要什么样的奇迹呢？我不知道，苔丝的眼泪涌了上来。 我只知道他病得非常厉害，妈妈说他需要做手术，但是爸爸支付不起手术费，所以我想用我自己的钱。 你有多少钱？这个从芝加哥来的男人问。 一美元十一美分，苔丝用很勉强才能听到的声音回答。这是我所有的钱，但是如果不够的话我再想办法。 刚刚好，男人笑着说，一美元十一美分 —— 正好可以为你弟弟买个奇迹。他一手拿着小女孩的钱一手紧紧握住她的手说带我去你住的地方，我想去看看你弟弟和你的父母，看看我是不是有你们需要的奇迹。 这个穿着得体的男人就是卡尔顿•阿姆斯壮，著名的神经外科医生。手术没有支付任何费用，安德鲁回家后不久就康复了。爸爸和妈妈高兴地谈论着这件事情。 这个手术真的是个奇迹，奇迹到底需要多少钱呢？母亲低声自语。苔丝笑了，她知道奇迹的真正价值：一美元十一美分，加上一个小女孩的信念。
篇三：奇迹
奇迹浩浩戈壁，茫茫沙漠，飞沙走石，风头如刀，望见了你——胡杨那挺拔的身姿。你将根深深扎进地下20多米，顽强地撑起一片生命的绿洲。在奇寒无比的雪山上，雪莲花傲然绽放。在悬崖绝壁，有你——黄山迎客松潇洒、挺拔的的身影，你倚狮石破石而生，展示出惊心动魄的生命迸发力。在广袤的沙漠里，因为有了你——仙人掌，才有了星星点点的浅绿，死寂的沙漠因而平添了一抹生命的亮色*和暖色*。在如此恶劣的环境里，却有如许震撼人心的生命奇迹在上演。我们不禁内心一暖，一股暖流遍布全身，进而惊叹：大自然真是太神奇了！然而，人们常常惊羡成功之花的明艳，却忽视了当初它的芽儿浸透了奋斗的泪泉，洒满了牺牲的血雨的拼搏和艰辛。人们看惯了叶荣叶枯，花开花落，却遗忘了那种子冲破一切阻力的艰难，因而内心深处也无法唤回那份对生命的敬畏。树木青葱，百花争艳，绿草茵茵。因为有了形形色*色*的种子，才有了这五彩斑斓、充满生机的世界。天地玄黄，宇宙洪荒，在地球刚形成时，很难想像世界是一番怎样的景象！等到地球具备了孕育生命的条件之后，有了光和热，有了空气、水分、土壤，种子就开始发挥其魔幻般的效力了。一粒粒种子潜藏孕育着一个个崭新的生命。为了让世界充满绿意，为了繁衍后代，种子八仙过海，各显神通，开始了奇幻之旅。一幕幕生命的奇迹开始了，请用心去看，用耳去倾听。风是无处不在的，地球上的风就成为种子旅行的免费车。杨、柳树的种子长着轻柔的绒毛，乘着五月的春风自由飞翔，飞到遥远的地方。通过水力传播，能使植物的种子在来年生长。莲子、菱(líng)成熟了，脱落后，随风逐流，四处游动，等到第二年，种子便萌发新芽，旺盛生长。借助动物可使有些植物的种子得以传播。如松树林里松鼠爱吃松子， 它们采集松果，吃掉松子，未吃掉的松子掉入石缝碎石间。第二年，松子萌发新芽，长出小松苗来。靠植物体本身传播，并不依赖其他的传播媒介。果实或种子本身具有重量，成熟后，果实或种子会因重力作用直接掉落地面，例如毛柿及大叶山榄；而有些蒴果及角果，果实成熟开裂之际会产生弹射的力量，将种子弹射出去，例如乌心石。多么神奇呀！大自然就是以其神奇来导演一幕幕神话和传奇。但是并非所有的种子都能破土而出，有的沤烂了，有的被鸟类啄食了。种子的传播其实也遵循了物竞天择，优胜劣汰的法则。不过，现在生命的奇迹正在或已然流逝。素有地球之肺之称的热带雨林正在被大面积的砍伐，地球的生态环境因而遭到严重的破坏，植物的生长面临着极大的考验，很多植物因此濒临灭绝。人类在破坏环境的时候，也在自戕。温室效应，土地沙化，沙尘侵袭，已令人类付出惨痛的代价。为了让大自然延续生命的奇迹，为了还世界以绿色*，为了人类自身的生存，请怀着一份敬畏之心去看待大自然，请珍惜、呵护每一个生命，这样我们才会领略到惊艳的生命的奇迹。
