When Kyle walked into Ernie's Pet World, he looked very worried. He walked quickly to the front counter（柜台）. The owner of the shop, Ernie, jumped out to greet Kyle. He was the shop's first shopper of the day.

     "What do you want, then?" Ernie asked.

     Kyle looked like he was going to cry. "I just want to know if I can use your bathroom!" he finally said.
