Puppies 4 Sale

A lit boy appeared under the store owner's sign, "Puppies 4 Sale".

"How much r u going to sell the puppies 4?" he asked.

The store owner replied,
"Anywhere from $30 to $50."

"I have $2.37," the lit boy said. "Can i plz look at them?"

The store owner smiled and whistled, n out of the kennel came 5 teeny, tiny balls of fur. 1 puppy was lagging considerably behind. Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging, limping puppy n said, "What's wrong with that lit dog?"

The owner explained that it had no hip socket; it would always b lame. The lit boy became excited. "That is the lit puppy that i want to buy."

The store owner said, "NO, u don't want to buy that lit dog. If u really want him, i'll just give him 2 u."

The lit boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the store owner's eyes, pointing his finger, n said, "i don't want u to give him to me. That lit dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs n i'll pay full price. In fact, i'll give u $2.37 now, n 50cents a month until i have him paid 4."

The store owner countered, "u really don't want to buy this lit dog. He is never going to b able 2 run n jump n play with u like the other puppies."

To this, the lit boy reached down n rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, cripped left leg supported by a big metal brace. He looked up at the store owner n softly replied, "Well, i don't run so well myself, n the little puppy will need some1 who UNDERSTANDS!!"
