| On Saturday, my parents took us to the pet store. |
| They had everything that you would need if you had a pet. |
| They had dog food, collars and leashes for dogs. |
| They had treats to give your dog, and brushes to brush your dog. |
| For cats, they had food, toys, and litter boxes. |
| For birds, they had seed and cages. |
| There was a section for fish. |
| They had fish in big tanks and little bowls. |
| In the big tanks, there were colourful fish swimming around. |
| The girl who worked there said that they were tropical fish. |
| There were goldfish in the smaller fishbowls. |
| I saw the girl get a goldfish out with a little net. |
| She sold it to a boy who said he had another goldfish at home. |
| There was a very large cage with a parrot in it. |
| I walked up to the cage, and the parrot said "hello." |
| I was surprised that the parrot could talk. |
| It could say a few things. |
| It said, "I love you," "pretty bird," and "bye-bye." |
| I told my mother that I would like a parrot, but she said that parrots need a lot of care and attention. |
| At the back of the store there were some puppies. |
| They seemed glad to see me. |
| I stuck my hand into the cage, and one of them licked my hand. |
| They were very lively. |
| They were running around and chasing their own tails. |
| In the next cage there were two kittens. |
| One of them was playing with a toy, and the other one was asleep. |
| The kittens were very small. |
| The one that was sleeping was curled up into a ball. |
| I couldn't even see her face. |
| I didn't want to leave the pet store. |
| I was wishing that I could take all of the animals home with me. |
