For as long as I can remember, my parents raised me with dogs, cats, birds and fish in the house, and I felt the most comfort with these pets in my surroundings. As an only child, I grew up talking to these animals since I never had a partner to play with at home.
I created characters for each of the pets and I included them in my imaginary adventures, tying capes onto the dogs, who were changed into superheroes, and giving headwear to the cats, who became girls. Even after I began attending pre-school, I’d eagerly await my return from school so that I could relay all the exciting details to my pets who would listen and pretend to be slightly interested in my wandering. In fact, I probably communicated with my pets more than I did with my friends, since these animals offered a sense of safety which no individual could provide. It never felt strange for me to talk with members of different species and I always felt satisfied after I spoke with them.
Imagine the shock I faced when I realized that certain cruel persons badly treated their pets. Over the spring break of third grade when I visited Aunt Judy and my cousins in Philadelphia, I met her one-eyed cat, Gordon. A cold, skinny creature, I firstly avoided directing my attention towards the cat. Aunt Judy must have noticed my strange behavior, so she took me aside and explained that the Gordon’s owner had deserted him. The cat was extremely unhealthy and injured when Aunt Judy discovered him.
After she had found medical treatments for the cat, my aunt decided to keep him because Aunt Judy said, “The unwanted animals are the ones most in need of someone to love them wholeheartedly.” After my aunt’s advice, I spent additional time to know Gordon and as days passed, he grew less afraid of me and I became more willing to love him.

All of a sudden, the wall AD attracted him, “Looking for a man, height 180 cm, shoe size 44， just with my son a weekend, I am willing to pay $500.”
Fifteen minutes later, when Brian got to the accommodation, a gaunt (憔悴的) woman opened the door.
After a simple communication, the woman took out the set of teddy bear doll clothing and let Brian put on. She said, as long as he played with her son until he went to bed, $500 belonged to him. Then the woman took Brian into her son’s room and said, “Dear, see who is back?”
The little boy was very excited. As the woman said，he is a mentally retarded (智力低下) boy.
The boy looked at Brian, “Dad, dad...are you back?” Brian said, “Yes!” The woman said， “Andrew, mom didn’t cheat you. Dad has come back with a teddy hear look!” Then Brian played with the boy happily until it was time to have dinner.
When the three people finished the meal, the little boy wanted to play basketball in the yard. Brian had to agree and accompanied the little boy in the yard. When the little boy played with Brian in the yard, he said, “Dad, you are great!”
It’s time for bed. Brian helped the little boy bath and began to tell him story. Brian’s musical sound let the woman stand behind the door for a long time. Finally, the little boy fell asleep.
