【故事】72. No More Pets

72. No More Pets 再也不养宠物 Jackie Davis had never owned a pet. She had always wanted one. She decided to go to the pet store. She bought a fish. "This should be pretty easy to take care of," she thought. The fish died after one week. "The water must have been dirty!" Jackie said. She had only fed the fish once. 杰姬戴维斯从来没养过宠物，她一直都想要一个宠物。她决定去宠物商店，她买了一条鱼。“这个肯定很容易照顾”，她想。一周后那条鱼就死了。“一定是水太脏了！”杰姬说。她只喂过那条鱼一次。 Jackie went back to the pet store. She decided she was ready for something bigger. She bought a bird. The bird died after two weeks. "He was probably sick!" said Jackie. She ignored the empty food plate. 杰姬又回到那家宠物店，她决定她可以养更大的宠物了。她买了一只鸟，两周后那只鸟便死了。“他可能生病了！”杰姬说。她忽略了空空的食物盘。 Jackie visited the pet store one more time. She bought a dog. Within one week, the dog ran away. He was very hungry. He had run after a taco truck. 杰姬又去了一次宠物店，她买了一条狗。还不到一周，那条狗就跑了。因为他太饿了，所以跟着一辆卖玉米卷的车跑了。
