Animals have the ability to make people understand them, especially(尤其)when they are in serious danger and hope to get help from people. And they often go together to help one another.

    One day, I visited my friend Jack on a sheep farm in North America. Suddenly one sheep came to cry in front of us. She made the most painful(痛苦的)cries. Jack said "Something must be wrong. Come on, Mike. Let's follow her."

    Together we followed the sheep back to where she was feeding on the farm. She rushed forward and kept on looking back to see if we were coming. She finally took us to an old well(井), and we heard the sad voice of her young baby that had fallen into the well. As the well had no water and was only six feet deep, we took a ladder(梯子)and climbed down. After a few minutes, the baby sheep was saved. The mother sheep looked happy with the successful result of the accident. She came to tell us her trouble and got help. How amazing!

    In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these 1 and have them as their good friends. Before they 2 them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections（注射）so that they won't carry diseases They have special animal food stores, 3 they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal 4.

    When you visit people's houses, they will be very glad to show you their pets and they are very 5 of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and 6 is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you kill an animal, you will be punished. If an animal happens to get run over by a car, people will be very 7 about it.

    People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they 8 their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.
