21、William had his nose pressed against the window and waited for his adopted puppy to arrive. A car pulled into the driveway, and he ran to the front door. William looked at the puppy’s little brown face and immediately fell in love with her. Dad put the puppy down, and she ran to William, giving him some kisses. “Her name is Buttercup,” Dad said. William looked at the puppy. “Buttercup. I like it.” After about an hour, the puppy fell asleep. William went to his room and played on his own, but he quickly got bored. He went to the living room and asked his Mum and Dad, “Can we go to the park?”

Mom shook her head. “Sorry, sweetie, but we need to stay at home and help Buttercup get used to her new environment.”   

“Why don’t you play with her?” Dad asked.   

William played with Buttercup until she fell asleep again. “Can we go to the park now? She’s sleeping.”

“William, a puppy is a big responsibility,” Dad said. “You said you were ready for this, and that means you have to help us look after her and train her.”

William went to his room again. Everyone was excited: all they wanted to do was play with the puppy or watch her sleep. William was bored.

Dad walked into William’s room. “You know how you like to play catch with Uncle Mike’s dog?”

“Yeah?”

“Why don’t you try playing with Buttercup?” “She’s too little,” William said.

“Not with this ball.” Dad held up a soft fuzzy ball.

William nodded. He rolled the ball to her, and she held it with her paws. “Good girl,” William said. They played for hours, and by the time Buttercup fell asleep on the floor, William was curled up (蜷曲地) next to her, sleeping too.
