Question

【题目】 I was not having a good holiday. My family had decided to go back to the countryside in New Hampshire again. But I found it boring. It was even worse that I had to sleep in the same bed with my brother. However, this trip ended up being fun for me because I met a very special friend.

While I was walking in the countryside, I saw a man carrying a small brown bag. The man looked like a ghost in his white clothes. When he looked at me, I felt scared. I wanted to run away when the man spoke to me. “Hello. Beautiful day, isn’t it?” he said. The man talked a lot. I wasn’t listening very carefully because I was looking at his little bag. I wanted to know what was in it!

He saw me looking at the bag and he asked me if I would like to see what was inside of it. Out came a beautiful puppy. The brown puppy was small and only about two months old.

The man then asked me, “Would you like to keep this puppy?”

I had always wanted a puppy and now I had the chance. I thanked him, took the puppy and ran home. For the rest of that summer, I played with him all the time. And after the trip, I took him home. He is a friend to both my brother and me, a warm little ball of happiness in our lives.

I’ve always wanted to thank the man because he changed my life.

The gift has given me years of pleasure. And I never have boring family holidays anymore.
