When Kyle walked into Ernie's Pet World, he looked
very worried. He walked quickly to the front counter(柜台). The owner of the shop, Ernie, jumped out to greet
Kyle. He was the shop's first shopper of the day.
"Good morning, sir!" Ernie said. "What
can I help you with?"
"Well, I...," Kyle started to say.
"Wait, don't tell me," Ernie interrupted (打断) him. "You're looking for a … a little dog...
for
your daughter 's birthday. Right?"
"No T really, l just..."
Ernie didn't let him finish. "Ah, I've got it,
You just moved into a new house, and you want some fish for it. I have some
very nice tanks over here."
"In fact, I..." Kyle was starting to look
very nervous (紧张的). His face had a strange expression(表情)on it.
"No fish? Ah, a cat! You look like a cat person.
At Ernie's Pet World, we have the best kinds. Take a look at this Persian —
long, white hair, and look at that cute expression. She's looking at you. She's
thinking, ‘Take me home. Take me home.’ Would you like some cat food and toys
as well?"
"No, thank you," Kyle said. By this time, he
was walking up and down. He had a pained (痛苦的) look on
his face. "Really, I'm not interested in cats or fish or little
dogs."
"What do you want, then?" Ernie asked.
Kyle looked like he was going to cry. "I just
want to know if I can use your bathroom!" he finally said.
