A shop owner put up a sign above his door that said:"Pets For Sale".Just as he expected,a boy appeared at the sign."How much are the dogs?"he asked.
The owner replied,"Any money from $30 to$ 50."The little boy took out some money from his pocket."I have $2.37,"he said."Can I look at them?"
"Sure,"the owner smiled,taking out five little dogs.One was left behind.The little boy pointed to him and asked,"What\’s wrong with him?"The owner explained that the little dog was disabled.And he would never be able to walk quickly.
The little boy became excited,"That\’s the dog I want to buy!"
The owner said,"No,you don\’t need 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 into the store owner\’s eyes and said,"I don\’t want you to give him to me for free.That little dog is worth(值得) the same 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:paid for him."
The owner couldn\’t understand,"He\’s never going to be able to run or jump and he\’ll never play with you like the other dogs."
On hearing this,the little boy rolled up(卷起)his trouser leg to show his left leg.It was supported(支撑) by a big metal bracket(支架).He looked up at the shop owner and softly replied."Well.I don\’t run so well,either,and the little dog needs someone who understands him!"
