"The cleaners said I could pick up our things today,"Jet's mom said on the drive to school.
"Do you think they were able to clean Big Dog?"Jet asked, trying not to sound too worried.
Big Dog was his favorite stuffed(填充的) animal.Grandpa won it for him at the fair when he was five years old. Jet was eight now, and he didn't need to sleep with it or anything. But he did need it.He needed it to sit on the shelf above his bed—the shelf that was now burnt by the house fire.
"I'm not sure what the cleaners could save," Mom said sadly."They said they weren't able to save our photo albums(相册).I sure will miss those pictures."
At school, Jet tried to focus on his schoolwork all day, but he couldn't ta ke his mind o ff Big Dog. In the art class, Mr. Light said they could work on whatever they wished.Jet looked at an empty page and remembered how sad his mom was about the photo albums. Most things could be replaced at the store. But the pictures were gone forever. He knew what he could draw. Jet drew several pictures of spending time happily with his family. By the time class was over,Jet had had a small album sketched out (草拟).
When Jet's mom picked him up from school, Jet was excited to see Big Dog was in the car.
"Mom, I have a surprise for you too," Jet said and gave her a hug. As Jet's mom saw the album, she laughed and cried.
"Looks as if there's room for one more picture,"Mom said, smiling."Do you mind if I draw it?"
"Of course not,"Jet said.
Jet's mother drew a picture of them sitting in the car looking through their first photo album with Big Dog after the fire.
"I love it, Mom!" Jet said happily."Let's go home and see what other surprises we can find."
a. Jet's house caught fire,
