A farmer had some puppies（小狗）to
36 . He painted a sign advertising the puppies and
37__ nailing （钉）it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, a little boy came to him.
“Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.”
“Well,” said the farmer, as he
38 the sweat off his face, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost
39 money. Do you have enough money?”
The boy
40 his head for a moment. Then reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of
41 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
42 a whistle (口哨声), “Here, Dolly!” he called.
43 from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly
44 by four little balls of fur. The little boy’ eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their
45 to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.
46 another little ball appeared; this one noticeably smaller. Then in a somewhat
47 manner the little pup began hobbling（蹒跚） toward the others, doing its best to
48 .
“I want that one,” the little boy said,
49 to the smallest one. The farmer said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you
50 these other dogs would.”
With that the little boy
51 back from the fence, and began
52 up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he exposed a steel support running down both sides of his leg
53 itself to a specially made
54 . Looking back up at the farmer, he said, “You see sir, I don't
55 too well myself, and he will need someone who understands.”
