一個商店老闆在門上釘了一個牌子， 上面寫著"小狗出售"。這個招牌對小孩有相當的吸引力。
過了不久， 一個小男孩出現在招牌前問說"你這些小狗要賣多少錢呢?"
店主人回答，"都是從30至50元不等"。小男孩把手伸到口袋裏， 掏出了一些硬幣，"我只有2.37元, 我可以看看它們嗎?"
店老闆笑笑並吹了口哨叫狗過來， 從狗屋中跑出來店老闆的名叫"女士"的狗， 走廊上五隻小狗跟著跑來，其中一隻小狗明顯的遠遠落在後面。
小男孩立刻注意到那隻落在後面，跛腳的小狗 ，他問店老闆，"這隻小狗怎麼了?"
店主人解釋說這隻小狗出生時， 獸醫診斷它的骨盆腔發育不健全，這一生都註定要跛腳。
小男孩顯得很高興的說，"那就是我要買的小狗"， 店主人說，"這隻小狗不用買， 如果你要的話， 我把它送給你"。
小男孩有點難過， 他看著店主人的眼睛說，"我不要你送給我, 它跟其他的小狗一樣， 值得每一分錢，我會付全額給你，我先付你2.37元， 以後每個月付50分，直到付清為止"。
店主人反對的說，"你真的不用買這隻小狗， 孩子，因為它不會像其他的小狗一樣正常的跑跳和玩耍"。
小男孩彎下身來捲起褲管， 露出嚴重扭曲， 用金屬支架支撐住的殘障左腿。
他看著店主人說，"我自己也無法正常的跑跳，所以我知道這隻小狗需要有人了解關愛它"。
店主人緊咬著下唇， 眼中湧出了淚水， 他微笑著說，"孩子， 我衷心希望與祈禱，這裏的每一隻小狗都有像你一樣的主人"。
在一生中，你是誰其實並不代表什麼， 應該在乎的是否有人欣賞你， 接受你而且無條件的愛你。
真心的朋友是當世界其他人都離你而去的時候， 仍陪你併肩而行。

A store owner was tacking a sign above his door that read "Puppies for Sale." The signs have a way of attracting children.
Soon a little boy appeared at the sign and asked, "How much are you gonna sell those puppies for?".
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 look at them?"
The store owner smiled and whistled. Out of the kennel came his dog named Lady, running down the aisle of his store followed by five little puppies. One puppy was lagging considerably behind.
Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging, limping puppy.
He asked "What's wrong with that little dog?"
The man explained that when the puppy was born the vet said that this puppy had a bad hip socket and would limp for the rest of his life.
The little boy got really excited and said, "That's the puppy I want to buy!"
The man replied "No, you don't want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I'll give him to you."
The little boy got upset. He looked straight into the man's eyes and said "I don't want you to give him to me. He is worth every bit as much as the other dogs and I'll pay the full price. In fact I will give you $2.37 now and 50 cents every month until I have him paid for."
The man countered, "You really don't want to buy this puppy son. He is never gonna be able to run, jump and play like other puppies."
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 man and said, "Well, I don't run so well myself and the little puppy will need someone who understands."
The man was now biting his bottom lip. Tears welled up in his eyes....He smiled and said, "Son, I hope and pray that each and every one of these puppies will have an owner such as you."
IN LIFE, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE, BUT WHETHER SOMEONE APPRECIATES YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE, ACCEPTS YOU AND LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY.
A REAL FRIEND IS ONE WHO WALKS IN WHEN THE REST OF THE WORLD WALKS AWAY.
