A Boy And A Puppy

>the story of a little boy & a puppy
>A Storeowner was tacking a sign above his door that read"Puppies for Sale." The signs have a >way of attracting children. Soon alittle boy
>appeared at the sign and asked, "How much are you going to sell those
>puppies for?"
>The store owner replied, "Anywhere from $30-$50."The little boy reached
>into his pocket and pulled out some change. "I have $2.37,can I look at them?"
>The storeowner smiled and whistled. Out of the kennel came his dog, named
>Lady, running down the aisle of his store followed by five little puppies.
>One puppy was lagging considerably behind. Immediately the little boy saw a
>lagging, limping puppy. He asked, "What's wrong with that little dog?"
>The man explained that when the puppy was born, the vet said that this
>puppy had a bad hip socket and would limp for the rest of his life. The
>little boy got really excited and said, "That's the puppy I want to buy!"
> The man replied: "No, you don't want to buy that little dog. If you
>really want him, I'll give him to you."
>The little boy got upset. He looked straight into the man's eyes and said
>"I don't want you to give him to me. He is worth every bit as much as the
>other dogs and I'll pay the full price. In fact, I will give you $2.37 now
>and 50 cents every month until I have him paid for." The man countered,
> >"You really don't want to buy this puppy son. He isnt ever going to be
>able to run, jump and play like other puppies."
>The little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg toreveal a badly
>twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace. He looked up at
>the man and said, "Well, I don't run so well myself and the little puppy
>will need someone who understands."
>The man was now biting his bottom lip. Tears welled up in his eyes, he
>smiled and said, "Son, I hope and pray that each and everyone of these
>puppies will have an owner such as you."
>IN LIFE, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE, BUT WHETHER SOMEONE >APPRECIATES YOU
> FOR WHAT YOU ARE, ACCEPTS YOU AND LIKE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY.
> A REAL FRIEND IS ONE WHO WALKS IN WHEN THE REST OF THE WORLDWALKS AWAY.
