> PUPPIES FOR SALE
>
> A store owner 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 store owner's sign. "How
> much are you going to sell the puppies for?" he asked.
>
> The store owner 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, "What's wrong
> with that little dog?"
>
> The store owner explained that the veterinarian had examined the
> little puppy and had discovered it didn't 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 don't want to buy that little dog. If
> you really want him, I'll just give him to you."
>
> The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the store
> owner's eyes, pointing his finger, and said, "I don't want you to
> give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the
> other dogs and I'll pay full price. In fact, I'll give you $2.37
> now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for."
>
> The store owner countered, "You really don't 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 store owner and softly replied,
> "Well, I don't run so well myself, and the little puppy will need
> someone who understands!"
>
> We ALL need someone who understands!
>
>
> God Bless,
> Jo
>
> P.S. I'm sending you some more stuff about pets, except these are going
> to be funny ones. Hope you enjoy them. I know I sure did. :)
