In a certain city a man put a sign in his pet store window. The sign read, “Puppies for Sale.” Immediately, a small boy entered the store. He asked to see the puppies. The owner whistled and a golden retriever came out from the back room with a trail of puppies scurrying after their mother. A fifth puppy limped behind the others.
The boy spotted the lame puppy and asked, “What’s wrong with that one?” The man explained that the puppy was born with a deformed hip. “That pup will live, but it will never be much of a dog,” said the man.
The boy replied, “That’s the one I want.” The man objected, but the boy pulled up his right pant leg revealing a heavy steel brace. The boy said, “I don’t run so well myself. The puppy will need somebody who understands.”
Only the ones who have experienced sufferings can really understand and appreciate the sufferings of others. The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling; and it is even more beautiful, knowing that you are the reason behind that smile.
