“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “His name is Andrew and he has something bad 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, I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, his voice a little.

The homeless man did a/an job as a cashier for over 2 years, and did such a good job that he was promoted to the finance for the whole shop.
To my , this was the arrangement up until 2 years ago, when the owner . In his will, he only had one , to give the whole shop to the now stable, “homeless” man.
