Some One To Care

A store owner was tacking a sign above his door that read "Puppies for Sale."

Signs have a way of attracting children, and soon a little boy appeared at the store and asked, "How much are you gonna sell those puppies for?".

The store owner replied, "Anywhere from $30 to $50." The little boy reached into his pocket and pulled out some change. "I only have $2.37. Can I look at them?" The store owner was amused at the interest of the child . He smiled and whistled. Out of the back of the store came his dog running down the aisle followed by five little puppies. One puppy  lagging considerably behind caught the curiosity of the little boy. He singled out the lagging, limping puppy -"What is wrong with that little dog?" he asked.

The man explained that when the puppy was born the vet said it had a bad hip socket and would limp for the rest of its life. The little boy got really excited and said "That's the puppy I want to buy!" Realizing the trouble the little boy would have rearing a dog that would limp for the rest of his life, the man said "No, you don't want to buy that limping little dog, do you?". 

A few secods later, the man realized that he was in two minds – one that prodded him not to disappoint the child and the other that reminded  him that the child did not enough money to pay for a healthy dog.  And the limping one wouldn't sell for a good price any way. So he came up with  an idea that would make them both happy.  

He said – “If you really want him, I'll give him to you for free." 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 for free. 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."

Thinking that the boy was going to waste his money the man countered once more, "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 him."

The man was now biting his bottom lip. Tears welled up in his eyes...Holding them bck with much difficulty, he smiled and said, "Son, I hope and pray that each and every one of these puppies will have 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.
