Robbie 和Alexandra是一对好朋友。有一天,他俩在Robbie家发现了一只狗Gemma。他们用了很多办法为狗找主人,但都没有成功。最后,他们来到了一家动物收容所。Linda Aborn是这家动物收容所的所长。以下的故事就围绕Gemma展开了。
Linda: (She is filling up a form.)Your name?
Robbie: Robbie Stewart. And this is Alexandra Pappas.
Linda: Your name will do, Mr. Stewart. Your address?
Robbie: 46 Linden Street, Riverdale.
Linda: Where did you find the dog?
Alexandra: She found us.
Linda: You tried calling the number on the collar?
Robbie: Yes, but the number’s no longer in service.
Linda: And there’s no address on the dog tag?
Alexandra: There’s no other information.
Linda: No ID number. Without that, it’s hard.
Alexandra: You will try to find the dog’s owner.
Linda: Oh, we’ll try, believe me.
Robbie: And if you don’t?
Linda: Yes?
Robbie: If you don’t... can I... can I adopt the dog?
Linda: Why, yes. If the owners don’t claim the dog in forty-eight hours, then you can apply for adoption.
Robbie: How do I do that?
Alexandra: You really want to?
Robbie: Yes, I’m serious. If no one comes to claim Gemma, I’d like to adopt her.
Linda: It’s not difficult.
Linda: OK. If you want to adopt an animal, first we need to know some references.
Robbie: References? People we know?
Linda: Friends, teachers... We need to talk to some people about you. We want to be sure that you’re responsible and that you can take good care of an animal. Then you have to fill out this form about your family background.
Robbie: Is that it?
Linda: No, there’s more. We need to know about your history with animals. Have you ever owned an animal?
Robbie: Yes. We had a cat when I was eight years old. I love cats.
Linda: Do you have any animals now?
Robbie: Unfortunately, no.
Alexandra: Anything else?
Linda: We also like to know your reasons for wanting an animal.
Alexandra: Just to hold it and cuddle(依偎) with it. Just to have as a pet. I love animals.
Robbie: To have a friend — a pal. You know, man’s best friend is his dog.
Linda: And one thing more. If you’re under twenty-one years of age...
Robbie: That’s me.
Linda: Then an adult must sign for you.
Alexandra: Uh-oh.
Robbie: No problem. My parents will think it’s a good idea. I’ll be back with them.
Alexandra: If the real owners don’t come to claim Gemma...
Linda: After forty-eight hours. But please call first.
Robbie: Thanks for your information and for being so helpful.
Linda: It’s my pleasure. Nice talking to both of you.
(They get up to leave.)
Robbie: Thanks again. Bye.
Alexandra: Maybe the real owners will come to claim her.
Robbie: Her eyes look so sad. She must really miss them.
Linda: I see you’re both animal lovers.
Robbie: We are.
Alexandra: Good-bye, Miss Aborn. We’ll call in a couple of days.
Linda: Good-bye, and thanks for bringing Gemma in.
Robbie: Bye.
