MY LAST FIGHT

COMPOSITION

Once, I had a dog, which I loved very much; but he died five years ago. From that time, I kept asking my parents for a pet. Any pet. A dog, a cat, a snake, a bird, anything! The answer was always the same " No! " because every 6 to 8 weeks we are leaving to a not very pleasant State that I will not name!!! (ndlr: Florida) During these holidays the " any animal " must go to somebody who will take care of it. My mom said it would be cruel for the animal.

During our summer holidays, I entered one of those tourist shops with my mom. There we found the perfect pet. We bought a book about it to know how to take care of it. I read it all and asked my uncle and my aunt, who both live in our house, if they would take care of this pet. They agreed by making bad jokes about my future pet, imagining recipes of soups or barbeques with my pet as the main ingredient. My mom agreed, too, and the next day we even bought two of them. Now Napoleon and Louis XIVth are part of the family and I enjoy my hermit crabs every minute!
