“
Does he think he’s a ballerina? “ laughed Arthur. (p. 14)
It’s a very cute story that
students struggle for gerbil called “Speedy” of the school pet. One student takes
him home for Christmas vacation. She plays with him and tries to teach him to
stand on one paw like a ballerina. On Christmas Eve, she puts his cage under
the tree as she thinks that Santa will bring a present for him.
But the next morning, his
cage is empty and he is gone. They come running and search for him. Just then,
she looks up at the tree and he is on the top of the tree. He is eating a piece
of cheese and standing on one paw like a ballerina. Somehow he gets out of his
cage three more times.
When I was in the elementary
school, I had a hamster the name was Chibi and maybe female. A kind of her is
very gentle. But she was very quick. So, I and my mother sometimes struggled
for Chibi as she ran away quickly. However, she was very cute and I was very
good to her. This book made me remember on old episode. Humans should make much
of animals regardless of pets. A lot of animals are becoming extinct or on the
verge of extinction. We have to live and let live with animals and plants…
