> 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.
