Soon a little boy appeared under the sign.” 2 are you going to sell the puppies for?” the little boy asked. “Anywhere from $30 to $50,” the shop owner answered.

One puppy was limping(跛行)behind 4 . The little boy pointed at the limping puppy and said, “What’s wrong with that puppy?” “One of its legs was broken and it would always be lame,” the shop owner 5 . The little boy became excited and said, “That is the puppy I want to buy.” The shop owner said,” No, you 6 buy that little dog. If you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.” The little boy became very 7 . He looked straight into the shop owner’s eyes and said,” I don’t want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay the 8 price. In fact, I can give you $2.37 now and 50 cents a month 9 I have him paid off.” The shop owner was surprised and said, “You really don’t need to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and jump and play with you like the other puppies.” The little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg. And the owner saw an artificial limb.
