"I love animals. But my mother won't let me have pets. No dogs. But Fluffy is a small hamster so she does not say anything. A friend had told me that there was a shop that sold pets and I had given him money. But they would not allow pets in school. So I waited at the gate for my friend. And it was the first time I met Fluffy. I brought her home and kept her and fed her. That's all. She is very naughty. She always wants to run and makes all kinds of noises when taking a shower. She jumps all over the bucket. I know she does not like water. And she loves the grass. She runs all over the grass. When the earthquake came I was watching TV with Fluffy. She started making noises even before the big shake. When I realized it was an earthquake I threw the remote of the TV picked her up and ran. That's all."
