（单词翻译）

Dad: Hi! Did¹ you have a good day?

Jasmine²: Yes, I did. Dad, may I have a pet?

Dad: Why do you ask that?

Jasmine: My friend Sophy got³ a puppy⁴ for her birthday.

Dad: That was⁵ nice. But you have to look after a puppy.

Jasmine: I could⁶ look after a pet. I would⁷ do everything.

Dad: A puppy makes a lot of work. Mom doesn't have the time to take him for walks.

Jasmine: I would take him for walks.

Dad: In the rain? Every day? I would have to come with you. But I have to work hard at the office.

Jasmine: Oh, Dad, Sophy's puppy sounds so lovely. He is brown and white and she loves him very much.

Dad: Jasmine, we live in an apartment⁸. Sophy lives in a house with a big garden. There is not so much room

here. I do have an idea, though⁹.

Jasmine: What is it?

Dad: You could have a hamster¹⁰ or a guinea-pig. They are much easier to look after and they can be great fun.

Jasmine: Some of my friends have hamsters¹¹ and they like them too. But I would like a guinea-pig. They are

bigger.

Dad: Yes, they are. And they can be very friendly¹². You must be careful about what you give them to eat because their stomachs¹³ are sensitive¹⁴. But a guinea-pig will be your friend for a long time.

Jasmine: Dad, can we go to the pet-shop?

Dad: I'll ask Mom first, but yes, I expect¹⁵ so. We could make a little home for her, or him, in the storeroom.

Jasmine: There's Mom now. I'm going¹⁶ to ask her.

Dad: Oh dear, what have I done now?
