The boy asked what he could buy for $2.67.  The owner had a mother dog lead out 5 brand new balls of fur, and the last was dragging behind.  Instantly, the boy spotted the lame dog, and asked, "What about that one?"

The owner, embarrassed, said, "I don't want to sell you that dog. I'll just give her to you."

The boy fiercely held up his $2.67, and declared, "Any dog is worth the price.  I'll give you this $2.67 now, and then 50 cents a week until she's paid for."

The owner protested: "But how can she possibly run and jump when you want to play?" The little boy lifted his pants leg, and his brace could be clearly seen.  "It doesn't matter, sir, I figure I won't be running that much either.  I'll keep her company."
