Animals are our friends. Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us. Here are two real stories from our readers.
The first story is from Ray. "My cat, Tiger, hates it when I use my iPad because it takes my attention away from him. One year, I had a fall at home and was on the floor for 16 hours. During this time, I couldn' t move to use the phone for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. ' What' s he up to? ' I wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my iPad. He probably didn' t know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to talk with my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor. "
The second story is from Colin. "Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird —— a wild ' Mom' cockatoo (鹦鹉) from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage. It lost one of her wings, so she couldn' t return to the wild. Soon, two wild cockatoos came visiting and one ' Dad' bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The ' Mom' cockatoo in the cage was soon expecting. But as she couldn' t fly, ' Dad' cockatoo built a home in the tree. ' Baby' cockatoo would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind. She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon. The family stayed together happily. "
After reading the stories, don' t you think we should respect every life in the world?
