WE DON'T HAVE LOTS & LOTS of FRIENDS...
JUST GOOD FRIENDS.
Let's see if you send this back or on to others !!!!!!!!!!!!...
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 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 somewhat 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 the fence,
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."
The world is full of people who need someone
who understands. It's National Friendship Week.
Show your friends how much you care.
Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND.
As well as those who WERE!!!
I JUST DID
