Speaking exercise

If my friend wants a pet, and he asks me for the advice, I will give him/her a book for my son. My son has a chinese book called “”. That book talked about a little kid and everyday when he went to school or went to kindergarten, he always will face some dogs, and these dogs without family, just wild dogs. He was afraid of these dogs, because these dogs always bark to him and chase him. So everyday he will find a new walking way to avoid to face these dogs. But one day he found a very very little puppy. He found this puppy are very cute and he want to have one. But he ask his parents may I have a puppy? and his parents ask him some question. He started to know, maybe all things are not wild dogs at first, they have families, but the humans just abandon, so his parents just ask him, give him a test, do you really want to have a dog? if yes you can go to next question. Does your every family support you to have a dog? If all your family support you to have a dog, can you take of the dog like you take care of a baby. when he is sick you can take him to the hospital, give him bath every week. The last question is can you swear if you have a puppy you will never let him out of your home? even you have children, even you just move to another place, can you swear you will always stay with the puppy, if yes, you can have a puppy. When he can pass all these questions, I will tell him I want to play with your puppy at his home.
