PUPPIES FOR SALE (Another Cute Story)
 

Puppies For Sale

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."

The world is full of people who need someone who understands. This is a good story that shows even though you may not be perfect in body, there is still love and compassion from others that may understand and want to help in some way.

This story is very cute and I love it. I have seen it online told in a different way about a pet store owner, but I liked this one with the farmer better. :D
