I had a good time on Children’s Day this year. Do you want to know how I spent it?

On the morning of Children’s Day, mum came to my (1)_________with a smile on her face. ‘________Children’s Day, Amy!’ She said. (2)‘Dad and I plan to give you a present. Can you guess what it is?’ ‘Is it a new bike?’ ‘No.’ ‘A new dress?’ ‘I’m sorry you are wrong.’ ‘What is it? Tell me, mum, please!’ ‘We want to take you to the animal centre and spend the whole morning playing with your favorite animals.’ ‘How great!’ I like animals and I like cats best. But mum always says I should not spend too much time playing with them. This makes me very sad. My god! I could spend the whole morning with them! I quickly got up, washed my face and ate breakfast. Then I hurried to the animal centre with my parents.

At the house for the cats, I first went to my best friend—little tiger. He rushed to me as soon as he saw me. I fed him with some fish. He ate it happily. After eating fish, I put him on my lap, he washed his face with his legs. Then I played games with him. He ran after a ball, climbed to the tree, caught the flying birds,…How lovely it was!
