Oh bless you we can all identify with this. Thank you for sharing it. We are all

worth the same as any human being despite our handicaps. My Grandmother always

said to me when I was a child what you lack in physical capabilites - God more

than makes up in other ways and believe me in forty years on this planet and

forty years of CMT I know what she said and believed is very true.

Love

Sue

" PUPPIES FOR SALE "

A store owner was tacking a sign above his door that read

" Puppies For Sale. " Signs like that have a way of attracting

small children and sure enough, a little boy appeared under the

store owner's sign. " How much are you going to sell the puppies

for? " he asked. The store owner replied, " Anywhere from $30 to

$50. " The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some

change. " I have $2.37, " he said. " Can I please look at them? "

The store smiled and whistled and out of the kennel came Lady,

who ran down the aisle of his store followed by five teeny, tiny

balls of fur. One puppy was lagging considerably behind.

Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging, limping puppy

and said, " What's wrong with that little dog? " The store owner

explained that the veterinarian had examined the little puppy and

had discovered it didn't have a hip socket. It would always limp.

It would always be lame. The little boy became excited.

" That is the little puppy that I want to buy. " The store owner

said, " No, you don't want 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 straight into the store owner's eyes, pointing

his finger, and said, " I don't want you to give him to me. That

little dog is worth every bit as much 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 him paid for. "

The store owner countered, " You really don't want to buy this

little dog. He is never going to be able to run and jump and play

with you like the other puppies. " To this, 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 store owner and softly replied, " Well, I

don't run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone

who understands! "
