Animals are our friends. Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us. And they hope to live a happy life, too. Here are two real stories from our readers.

The first story is from Ray. “I hates my cat, Tiger, because when I use my iPad, it takes my attention away. One year, I had a fall at home and was on the floor for 16 hours. During this time, I was unable to move and couldn’t get to the phone to call for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. ‘What’s he up to?’ I wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my iPad, which I didn’t realize had fallen off the bed and onto the floor. He probably didn’t know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to call my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor.”

The second story is from Colin. “Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird—a wild ‘Mom’ parrot from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage. It lost one of her wings, so she was unable to return to the wild. Soon, two wild parrots came visiting and one ‘Dad’ bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The ‘Mom’ parrot in the cage was soon hoping. But as she couldn’t fly, ‘Dad’ parrot built a home in the tree, keeping off everyone who got close to ‘Mom’ parrot. ‘Baby’ parrot would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind. She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon. The family stayed together happily.”

After reading the stories, don’t you think we should get along well with animals? No matter they are our pets or live in the wild, they have their feelings. We should care for every life in the world.
