No Charge For Love

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign
advertising
the 4 pups. And set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard.
As
he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his
overalls.
He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.
"Mister," he said, "I want to buy "one of your puppies."

"Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his
neck,
"These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."

The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his
pocket,
he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. "I've
got
thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?"
"Sure," said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle. "Here,
Dolly!"
he called. Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran
Dolly followed by four little balls of fur.
The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes
danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence,

the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.
Slowly
another little ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp
it
slid. Then in a some what awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling
toward the others, doing its best to catch up....
"I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the runt. The farmer
knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you don't want that puppy.
He
will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs
would."

With that the little boy stepped back from thefence, reached down, and
began
rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel
brace
running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made
shoe.
Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run too
well
myself, and he will need someone who understands."

With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little
pup.
Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.

"How much?" asked the little boy. "No charge," answered the farmer,
"There's
no charge for love."
"As it is there is a shortage of people in this world who can understand
the
meaning of love", concluded the farmer
