“ Mister , ” he said , “ I want to buy one your puppies . ”
“ Well , ” said the farmer , “ these puppies come from fine parents and cost much 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 called , “ Here , Dolly ! ”

As the dogs made their way to the fence ( 柵欄 ) , the little boy noticed something else inside the doghouse . Slowly another little ball appeared ; this one noticeably smaller .

The farmer knelt ( 跪 ) down at the boy’s side and said , “ Son , you don’t want that puppy . He will never b e 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 ( 卷起 ) one leg of his trousers . In doing so he showed a steel brace ( 金屬支架 ) running down both sides of his leg and a specially made shoe .
