A
Storeowner was tacking a sign above his door that
read "Puppies for Sale." |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
The
signs have a way of attracting children.
Soon a little boy appeared at the sign and asked,
"How much are you gonna 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 singled out the 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 is never gonna be able to run, jump and play
like other puppies." |
|
|
|
|
| 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 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 every one 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 and accepts you and loves you unconditionally.
A real
friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world
walks away.
