"Mister，"he said，"I want to buy one of your puppies."
"Well，"said the farmer，as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck，"these puppies come from flne parents and cost a good deal of money."
The boy dropped his head for a moment.Then reaching deep into his pocket，he pulled out a handful of change 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 let out a whistle，"Here，Dolly！"he called.
[B]Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur.The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence.His eyes danced with delight.
As the dogs made their way to the fence，the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.Slowly another little ball appeared；this One noticeably smaller.Down the ramp it slid.Then in a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began hobbling toward the others，doing its best to catch up.
"I want that one，"the little boy said，pointing to the runt.
The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said，"Son，you don'twant that puppy.He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would."
With that the little boy stepped back from the fence，reached down，and began rolling up one leg of his trousers.In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe.Looking back up at the farmer，he said，"You see，sir，I don'trun too well myself，and he will need someone who understands."
[C]The world is full of people who need someone who understands.

↘Where do rainbows come from？
Throughout history， rainbows have been a source of mystery and Iegend. Rainbows are also important symbols in a number of cultures around the world.
In the OId Testament of the BibIe， for example， God shows Noah a rainbow to let him know that the Flood is over and that he will never destroy the earth again with flooding. An ancient Mayan book also tells of a rainbow signaling a new age after the destruction of the earth.
In a myth from Germany， the rainbow is the paIette that God used to paint the birds.[A]Some Native American groups believed that rainbows were made from wild flowers. In other traditions， the rainbow is the hem of a particular god"s coat.
In an ancient Japanese myth， the rainbow is a bridge from heaven to earth. The first man and woman walked down this bridge to learn the ways of the world.
Today， we know exactly how rainbows are made. In the seventeenth century， the scientist Isaac Newton and the mathematician and philosopher Rene Descartes analyzed them very carefully.[B]They concluded that rainbows were caused when sunlight was broken up as it passed through raindrops.
When it rains， the colors that make up white light separate because they bend at different angles when they pass through water. The result is the full spectrum of colors the human eye can see， as well as some that it cannot；at the outermost edges of a rainbow lie ultraviolet and infrared light.
Everyone knows that we can sometimes see rainbows on a rainy day. However， you actually have a chance of seeing a rainbow anytime there is light behind you and water in the air in front of you.[C]So， if you want to know what it feels like to have the power of a god， get a spray bottle， stand with your back to the sun， and create a rainbow！
