Touching Story Anyone?

[Bronzesnake]

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the 4 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 of 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.
 
" With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked  up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.  "How much?" asked the little boy. "No charge," answered the farmer, "There's no charge for love."
