A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a
sign advertising the pups and set about Nailing it to a
post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last
nail into the post, he Felt a tug on his overalls. He
looked down into the Eyes of a little boy.
Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies."
"Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the
back of his neck, "these puppies come from fine parents and
cost a good deal of money."
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep
into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held
it up to the farmer. "I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that
enough to take a look?"
"Sure," said the farmer.
And with that he let out a whistle,"Here,Dolly!" he called.
Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the
chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight.
As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy
noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. Slowly
another little ball appeared; this One noticeably smaller.
Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner
the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its
best to catch up....
"I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the runt.
The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you
don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and
play with you like these other dogs would."
With that the little boy stepped back from the fence,
reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers.
In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both
sides of his leg attaching itself To a specially made shoe.
Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I
don't run too well myself, and he will need Someone who
understands."
The world is full of people who need someone who understands.
