2. How much does a miracle cost?

기적이 얼마예요?

  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 scuffing 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. "My brother is really, really sick... and I want to buy a miracle. 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?"

patiently  참을성 있게, 참고                                  pharmacist  약사

scuffing noise 발로 바닥을 질질 끄는 소리             clear one's throat  목청을 가다듬다

disgusting  역겨운, 듣기 싫은                               muster  모으다

bang  탕 치다. 내던지다                                       save  구하다.  살리다

soften  부드럽게 가라앉히다                                 well dressed  옷을 잘 차려입은

stoop down  몸을 굽히다.  구부리다.
