Puppies for Sale
A shop owner was putting a sign above his door. It read “Puppies(幼犬) for Sale”. Soon a little boy came under the sign.
“How much are you going to sell the puppies for ” the little boy asked. “Anywhere from $30 to $50,”the shop owner answered.

He is never going to be able to run and jump and play with you like the other puppies.” The little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg(裤腿). And the owner saw an artificial limp(假肢).
