What Pet Should I Get?
We want a pet.
We want a pet.
What kind of pet should we get?
Dad said we could have one.
Dad said he would pay.
I went to the Pet Shop.
I went there with Kay.
And so we went in …
I took one fast look…
I saw a fine dog who shook hands.
So we shook.
So I said, "I want him!"
But then, Kay saw a cat.
She gave it a pat, and she said, "I want THAT!"
Then Kay said, "Now what do you think we should do?
Dad said to pick one.
We can not take home two."
