My parents sent me to the storeto buy a loaf of bread.I came home with a puppyand a parakeet instead.
I came home with a guinea pig,a hamster and a cat,a turtle and a lizardand a friendly little rat.
I also had a monkeyand a mongoose and a mouse.Those animals went crazywhen I brought them in the house.
They barked and yelped and hissedand chased my family out the door.My parents never let medo the shopping anymore.
