A store owner was putting a sign above his door that read "Puppies For Sale". Signs like that have a
way of     1     small children,and     2    enough,a little boy appeared under the store owner's sign. "     3    
are you going to sell the puppies for?" he asked.
     The store owner replied,"     4    from $30 to $50. "
     The little boy     5     in his pocket and pulled out some     6   "I have $2.37,"he said,"     7    I please
