Puppies for Sale A storeowner was tacking a sign above his door that read Puppies For Sale. Signs like that have a way of attracting small children, and sure enough, a little boy appeared under the storeowners sign. How much are you going to sell the puppies for? he asked. The storeowner replied, Anywhere from $30 to $50. The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change. I have $2.37, he said. Can I please look at them? The store owner smiled and whistled and out of the kennel came Lady, who ran down the aisle of his store followed by five teeny, tiny balls of fur. One puppy was lagging considerably behind. Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging, limping puppy and said, Whats wrong with that little dog? The store owner explained that the veterinarian had examined the little puppy and had discovered it didnt have a hip socket. It would always limp. It would always be lame. The little boy became excited. That is the puppy that I want to buy. The store owner said, No, you dont want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, Ill just give him to you. The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the store owners eyes, pointing his finger, and said, I dont want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and Ill pay full price. In fact, Ill give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for. The storeowner countered, You really dont want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and jump and play with you like the other puppies. To his surprise, the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace. He looked up at the storeowner and softly replied, Well, I dont run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands! We ALL need someone who understands!
