Marta ate breakfast slowly in the dining room. She was in no hurry(匆忙) because she didn't have school classes that day. Then the telephone rang(响).
"Yes, we can come today. We'll go to your home later this morning." answered Marta's mom. She turned to Marta and said." That was Aunt Rosa. She has a wonderful surprise for you. "
"She has a surprise for me? What is it?" asked Marta." Aunt Rosa found a dog for you," said Mom.
"A dog! Great!"" shouted Marta. She ran to her room to put on her coat and shoes. Then Marta and her mom went to the car together.
Thirty minutes later, their car stopped in Aunt Rosa's house. They saw a small dog in the living room. It was white. It had long hair and a short tail(尾巴). The dog ran to Marta when it saw her.
"This dog likes me!" said Marta.
"Yes, she does," said Aunt Rosa." I call her Nicky. "
""I like that name, Aunt Rosa. Come, Nicky," called Marta.
Then Marta feIt a wet nose on her leg." Good girl, Nicky," she said.
"You can take her home. Be sure to walk Nicky every day," said Aunt Rosa." Thank you, Aunt Rosa," said Marta." I will care for her well.
