" I have only one dollar. Can I just take a look? " asks the boy.

" OK. " says Mr. Brown. Then he calls the dogs over. Four little balls of fur run from the doghouse. Then the boy sees the fifth little fur ball come slowly(慢慢地) from the doghouse and it is smaller. It is walking strangely(怪异地). " I want that one" , the little boy looks at the smaller puppy and says.
