“Well,” said the farmer, as he 　38 the sweat off his face, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost 　39 money. Do you have enough money?”

The boy 　 40　 his head for a moment. Then reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of 　41 and held it up to the farmer. “I’ve got thirty-nine cents.

In doing so he exposed a steel support running down both sides of his leg 　53 itself to a specially made 　54　 .

I wondered why I ever agreed to do it.
