Paula Daddy?
Jack Yes?
Paula Can I have a horse?
Jack A what?
Paula A horse. Can I have a horse?
Jack No, I’m sorry, honey, but you can’t have a horse. We don’t have space for a horse.
Paula Jenny, didn’t you use to have a horse when you were a child?
Jenny Well, yes, I did.
Jack But Jenny used to live on a ranch. When she was young.
Paula OK. What about a dog?
Jack No, we can’t have a dog. We are all out of the house for most of the day, so it wouldn’t be fair to have a dog.
Paula So can’t have any pet at all?
Jack I didn’t say that. We just can’t have a horse or a dog.
Paula What can we have then?
Jack You could have a goldfish or a parrot.
Paula Mmm.
Jack A hamster?
Jack Yes. Thank you. A hamster.
Paula Oh, all right then. I’ll have a hamster.
Jack Great. We can buy one this weekend. Now I’ll go and make us all a hot drink.
(Jack從房間里出去了)
Paula Yes!!! We did it, Jenny! Thanks for your advice.
Jenny Well, if I used to be a politician, you are certainly a little actress!
