VALUE OF LIFE
A store owner was tacking a sign above his door, that read "Puppies for
Sale".
These signs had a weird way of attracting children. And sure enough, a
little boy appeared at the sign. "How much are you sell those puppies for?"
he asked. The store owner replied "anywhere from $30.-$50".
The little boy reached into his pocket and pulled out some change. "I have
$2.37, can I have alook at them?" The store owner 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 when the puppy was born, the
vet had said the puppy had no hip socket and owuld limp for the rest of its
life. The little boy got really excited and said "that's the puppy I want
to buy!" The store owner said "No, you don't wanna buy that little dog. If
you really want him, I'll 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 the other dogs and I'll pay
the full p;rice. In fact, I'll give you $2.37 now and 50 cents every month
until I have him paid for".
The store owner countered, "You really don't want to buy this puppy. He is
never gonna be able to run, jump and play like 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 look up at
the store owner and said softly "Well, I don't run so well myself, and the
little puppy will need someone who understands".
IN LIFE, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE, BUT WHETHER SOMEONE APPRECIATES YOU
FOR WHAT YOU ARE....
I too, would pay $2.37 and 50 cents a month....
