Dad, may I have a pet? My friend Susan got a puppy for her birthday.
That was nice. But a puppy takes a lot of work. I don't have the time to walk him.
I could look after a puppy. I would take him for walks.
In the rain, every day, I would have to go with you. But I have to work hard in the office.
Oh, dad. Susan's puppy sounds so lovely.
Jasmine, we live in an apartment. Susan lives in a house with a big garden. There is not so much room here. I do have an idea though.
What is it?
You could have a rabbit. Rabbits are much easier to look after and they can be very friendly. I believe your rabbit will be your friend for a long time.
Dad, can we go to the pet shop?
I'll ask your mom first. But yes, I expect so.
