Getting a Pet

One Story A Day

Getting a Pet Yan loves animals. He wants a pet. There is only one problem. His family lives in a very small apartment. He begs his parents to let him have a puppy. But his father says，“ A puppy is small. But pippies grow into big dogs. We have no space for a dog. " So, Yan asks for a kitten. His mom looks at her son. She wants him to have a pet. But the apartment is SO small. " We cannot get a koitten either, " she says. " Kittens become cats. And cats are big. " Yan is sad. But he understands.

Then one day, he comes home from school and sees something on his table. It's a bowl filled with water. Inside is a pretty little goldfish! It is swimming around and around. Yan laughs with joy. Now, Yan has a pet. He calls his goldfish Goldie. Goldie is his very best friend!
