I have been keeping 41 pets at home: mice, turtles and
rabbits. But golden hanmsters are my favorite. I am always surprised by 42
cute they can be.
It was summer when I first 43 two golden hamsters. They 44
brown, about the size of my hand. When I 45 by, they were cracking melon
seeds (嗑瓜子). They
did that as 46 as any human! I was so amused (逗乐) that I bought them at once.
The only one who
was not happy to see the newcomers was my 47 . She thought 48
would make our home dirty all the time. So I made a 49 for them on the
balcony (阳台).
Hamsters always want people to look at them. They try to get noticed
by raising the front part of their body, 50 they watch you come and go
until you stop and talk to them. Watch out when they start to roller-turn in
their cage (笼子).
They won’t stop 51 you have tears of laugher!
Hamsters are 52 than you think. One morning several months
ago, I found one missing. The side of the cage was much 53 than the
hamster and the cage had a lid. How did the little one climb up, open the lid
and 54 ? I thought hard. But I’ve 55 found an answer.
