The Pet Shop
Cody and his sister April decide they want a dog. They head down to the local pet store and have a look around.
It is a very small pet store that doesn't have many animals.
The owner of the shop is a nice old man named Mr. Smith. He walks over and greets Cody and April.
"How can I help you?" he asks.
"We would like to buy a dog," April responds.
"Ah, well, we are not a big pet shop," Mr. Smith tells her. "So we only have two dogs to choose from."
They ask Mr. Smith to show them the dogs.
Mr. Smith leads them to the back of store where the two dogs are. One of them is a very big bulldog named Buster. The other is a very tiny chihuahua named Teacup.
April wants Teacup. Cody wants Buster. They walk outside to discuss.
They can’t agree on a dog. April suggests they race home for it. The winner of the race chooses the dog.
Cody agrees, then tells April her shoelace is untied. When April looks down, he runs off and gets a head start.
Cody runs as hard as he can. He really wants that bulldog. He looks back. April is so far behind he can’t even see her.
Cody finally gets home. He is tired but he is happy. He knows he is the winner.
April arrives a few minutes after Cody. She congratulates him. They return to the pet store to purchase Buster the bulldog.
However, when they arrive they only see Teacup the chihuahua.
English Short Stories Level 03
They ask Mr. Smith where Buster is.
Mr. Smith gives the details. He explains that a few minutes after April and Cody leave, two boys walk in and buy the bulldog.
Cody looks at April, and she holds back a smile. Cody sighs. He turns back to Mr. Smith.
"Sometimes you win the race, but not the prize!" Cody smiles sadly. "We’ll take the chihuahua, please."

Perhaps after listening to all the people who have said good things about gliding possums, you have felt that strong impulse to go to the nearest sugar glider pet shop to buy yourself your very own gliding possum. Sometimes, you become so impulsive that you would right there and then purchase a gliding possum as if you are in a grocery store buying a bottle of water. However, before you get yourself a gliding possum for a pet, you should ask yourself if buying a sugar glider would be a good idea. If you find yourself doubting that it is, then perhaps you should stop to think about it carefully.

We all have visited pet shops and seen those cute puppies that they sell. Sometimes, we cannot stand looking at their sad faces through the small cages in which they spend their entire day. Your kid comes to you and begs you to buy them that puppy. In a way, you feel guilty if you do not buy that cute puppy. By buying the puppy, you feel that you have helped the animal and also made your kid happy. The truth is that you have not helped the other puppy who will replace the one you just bought and will face the same treatment - i.e. mistreatment.

A pet shop one of those places you must pay a visit to, especially if you are planning to buy yourself a delightful pet. A pet shop is sure one place where you are bound to fall in love with at least one particular face or two, and, if the animal seems to be liking you, and then what better feeling than that!

Pet shops are seemed to be one of few businesses which haven't suffered recession. Well-known trade-marks such as Pedigree, Chappy, Whiskas, KiteKat indefatigably encourage us from TV screens to buy food and toys for our pets.

Honestly, if you had committed even 3-4 out of these 12 most common shopping mistakes, it's time you should look up to web for rescue. Don't you agree overtime, your over indulgence robs you off the much needed cash at hand? Or else, shocks you with blown up credit card bills, at the end of every month. More often than not, the shopping trips culminate into a nightmare, with not so planned and unorganized indulgence at the shoppers end. 'Online shopping' on other hand is one where you still have a controlled shopping environment but has its own disadvantages. Well, how about balancing your offline shopping with a little online planning? That means you can still evade a lot of differences, anxiety and shopping mistakes by combining a few web elements (or say tools) into your shopping activity. Make your shopping more planned, organized, more manageable and more fun. Learn how to do it!
