Value of Life

A storeowner was tacking up 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 gonna sell those puppies for?” he asked. The storeowner replied “Anywhere from $30-$50” The little boy reached into his pocket and pulled out some change. I have $2.37, can I have a look at them?” The storeowner 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, limpy puppy and said “What’s wrong with that little dog?” The storeowner explained that when the puppy was born, the vet said that the puppy had no hip socket and would limp for the rest of his life. The little boy got really excited and said, “That’s the puppy I wanna buy!” The storeowner replied, “No, you don’t wanna buy that little dog. If you really want him, I’ll give him to you.” The little boy got real upset. He looked straight into the storeowner’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 price. In fact, I’ll give you $2.37 and 50 cents every month until I have him paid for.” The storeowner continued, “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 looked up at the storeowner 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. A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
