It was a fine day. The sun was shining and the wind was gentle.
The kids were playing in their backyard. Suddenly a little cat got stuck (卡住) under the fence (篱芭). The kids tried to free the cat, but they couldn't. So they asked their mother for help. The mother freed the cat. The cat looked so cute that the kids asked their mother if they could keep it. The mother said, "I don't mind myself, but you must ask your father, too. "
The kids waited anxiously (焦急地) for their dad back from work. When they heard their father opening the door, they both shouted loudly at the same time, "Hi, daddy!"
"You are surely happier than usual to see me today. What's up?" her father said.
"Nothing daddy. We just love you so much," the girl replied. Then their mother said, "Go ahead. Ask your dad. "
The girl told her dad what had happened and asked to keep the cat. The father said, "No, you can't. We have fed five cats up till now. Your mommy and I have no time to take care of any more. " Hearing this, the kids looked unhappy.
Seeing the sad looks on the kids' faces, the father changed his mind. He said, "All right. Since you love it so much, you can keep it. "
"Hooray! Thank you, daddy!" However, the father added that they must promise to look after the cat on their own.
The kids were so happy to have another pet friend. Then the cat was given the name "Lucky" by the kids. So the cat had a place to call home.
