　　A man was sitting in the park watching the ducks on the pond, when a
woman went to him. She had a white dog. She sat down on a bench, took out a
magazine and began to read. The dog was sitting between her and the man. After
it had been sitting quietly for about ten minutes, the dog turned and looked up at
the man.
　　"Excuse me,"the dog said, "but you look like a kind man. Please buy me
from this terrible woman."
　　The man could hardly believe his ears. A dog spoke to him in English!
　　"She is so mean to me, " the dog continued, "She never pets me or plays
with me. She doesn't feed me properly and she often beats me when she's in a
bad mood, which is most of the time.”

surprised when the dog added, "And I'm really a very good dog. I'm quite

him to me? "
