M: When I was little,I had a family pet.Its name was Jupiter and it was a kitten.
I wanted a cat more than anything else(我最想要的是一只猫),and finally my parents gave in and said that we could have one.We went to an animal home and saw dozens of kinds of cats.We went from cage to cage until we saw a little kitten at the back of one of the cages.It looked scared,but when I picked it up,it kept licking my hand and I knew it was the one we would bring home.After we got Jupiter homeTINGLI ,I played with it all day. What I noticed when I played with it was that I would sneeze a lot and my arms became red.My nose would also be runny and my eyes would water.I tried to hide these signs from my mother, but she noticed them finally and told me that I was suffering from cats! Even worse, we couldn't keep Jupiter! That was a sad day in my young life. I thought I would never recover. But a lucky thing happened. One of our neighbors down the street was willing to(愿意) take Jupiter in and I was able to visit it all the time, as long as I didn't get too close.
In the end, it wasn't such a terrible thing after all.
