No Charge for Love

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the 4 pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy. “Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.”

The boy reached deep into his pocket and 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.

Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran four little b a l l s 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 inside the doghouse. Slowly another little b a l l appeared. This one was noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then 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’t want 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’t run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands.”

With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.

“How much?” asked the little boy.
“No charge,” answered the farmer, 
“There’s no charge for love.”

Jawaban yang tepat adalah “because it has a limp leg”.

Soal diatas meminta kita untuk melengkapi kalimat tersebut dengan jawaban yang tepat sesuai teks.

Dalam teks diceritakan mengenai seorang petani yang hendak menjual keempat anak anjingnya. Kemudian ada seorang anak laki-laki yang hendak membeli salah satu dari anak anjing tersebut. Anak laki-laki itu kemudian memilih seekor anak anjing yang cacat untuk dibeli, dan ternyata hal itu dikarenakan sang anak laki-laki tersebut pun memiliki kaki palsu.

Kalimat soal diatas berarti “Anak anjing itu berbeda dari yang lain karena …”. Jawaban untuk pertanyaan ini ada pada kalimat “Then the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up”, yang artinya “Kemudian anjing kecil itu mulai terpincang-pincang berjalan kearah yang lain, mencoba yang terbaik untuk mengikuti mereka”.

Dari cerita tersebut, kita mengetahui bahwa anak anjing tersebut berbeda karena dia memiliki kaki yang pincang, sehingga dia berjalan terpincang-pincang ke arah saudara-saudaranya.

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah “The puppy was different from others because it has a limp leg.”
