Little Boy And The Puppy

A farmer had put up a ‘For Sale’ sign on his farm since he wanted to sell a litter of 6 puppies that his dog had delivered. A small boy walked into the farm one morning and asked the farmer if he could buy one of the puppies. The farmer told him that the puppies were of good pedigree and hence would be expensive. The little boy was heartbroken. He held out his hand and the farmer saw that the boy had 50 cents with him. 

“I have 50 cents only. Can I at least see the puppies?” the boy asked.

' “Sure”, said the farmer and took the little boy to the rear : end of the barn, letting out a whistle. A huge Labrador jumped out and came running towards the farmer followed by puppies

who looked like cute little fur balls.

The boy’s face lit up in delight at this sight. But there were only five puppies. As he searched for the last one the boy noticed one puppy, which was slightly smaller, slowly ambling across towards the others. The little boy ran up to the farmer and asked him, “Can I have that puppy?”

“But he is deformed and he will not be able to run around like the rest. Why would you want him?” the farmer asked.

The boy then rolled up his pants to reveal an artificial leg. The farmer was taken aback. The little boy smiled and said, “I am also like him. I can’t run too well myself. So we’d make Perfect partners and we will be able to understand each Other better”.
