The Little girl went to pharmacy

Written By Unknown, Story Story


She poured 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.



Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise.




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.


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 audible.

'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 miracle you need.'


The operation was completed free of charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well.


'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 the faith of a little child.



I know you'll keep the ball moving!


A ball is a beginning, no end.

It keeps us together like our Circle of Friends.

But the treasure inside for you to see is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me.
