John:
Mom, can we take one of these puppies?
Mother:
I would love to have a puppy, but we can't take one.
We live in an apartment. A dog in an apartment is not a good idea.
John:
But Bill my
friend has a dog, and he lives in an apartment.
Mother:
Yes, I know that many people have a dog in their
apartment, but I think it is not a good idea for us.
John:
If we move to a house, can we have a dog?
Mother:
Yes, you can have a dog. You can also have a
cat. I love animals too.
John:
But, is there any animal we can take home today?
Mother:
I suppose we could take some fish in a
bowl...
John:
Okay. Let's choose some pretty ones from the
fish tank over there.
Mother:
Okay. Choose one of the small aquarium tanks from this shelf and then we
can go and buy you some fish.
John:
Great!
Thanks Mom.
