My electronic pet
我的电子宠物
I love animals and I always want to keep a cat as my pet. But I’m busy every day, so I don’t have much time to look after a pet. When I found I could keep an electronic pet cat in my electronic dictionary, I was so glad!
At first, the pet cat was very small. It didn’t eat fish, but it drank milk and water. I tried my best to make money to buy milk for it. How can I make money in the electronic dictionary? I play games in it and if I win I can get some “money”. After a few days, the cat grew bigger. I bought fish for it, washed it, played ball games with it and took it to hospital when it was ill. It grew happily and healthily. I knew it was happy because when I turned on the electronic dictionary I could see its smiling face.
Now it is a very big, or maybe I should say fat, cat. It isn’t greedy. When it is full, it won’t eat any fish. But it is lazy now. When I want to take it to play games, it refuses(拒绝). Maybe I shouldn’t ask it to play games after a meal. It is not good for its health.
Bring home a new cat
再带一只猫回家
If you already have a cat as a pet and you want to bring a new cat home, you must make a plan carefully. Cats are very independent(独立的) animals, and maybe your cat will not get along well with the new one.
You can do these things to be away from trouble.
1. You must make sure that the new cat is healthy, but this is not enough. You must also make sure that your own pet is clean. If even one cat is not very healthy, you are likely to pay the vets(兽医) a lot.
2. Don’t bring the new cat into the house yourself. This will make your own cat feel unsafe. Ask a friend to bring in the cat for you, or put your own cat in a separate(单独的) room when you bring the new one into your house.
3. Both the cats are now in the house. Is it time for them to finally meet? Not yet! You should put the new cat in a separate room for two days. Your curious(好奇的) cat will try to find the secret of that room. After a few days, open the door just a bit. Watch what happens next. If all seems good, you can get them live together.
I once kept a rabbit
我曾经养过的兔子
I once kept a rabbit. It was small, white and soft. I loved it very much.
I fed it a lot grass every day, but it didn’t like drinking water. My mother said there was much water in the vegetables and grass. It was not necessary for it to drink water.
I kept it in a hutch in the small garden around our house. Every morning, before I went to school, I put much grass in the hutch. It really atequickly ! There was little grass left when I came back from school at noon. For lunch, I usually fed it some cabbages and carrots. I cleaned its hutch if I had time.
Rabbits are not quiet animals. I don’t mean they can bark or “miaow”. It can’t make any noise, but they like moving! When my rabbit was awake, it ate or jumped or walked all the time. It just didn’t stop .
I was very sad when my rabbit died. I buried(埋葬) it in the garden. I thought it might be lonely if it was buried far from us.
