Choosing a Pet（答案可能有错）（给儿子买宠物）

Attendant: Hello. Can I help you?

Customer: Yes. I'm looking for a pet for my son. Can you suggest anything? Attendant: What kind of pet does he want? A traditional pet － a cat or a dog? Or something unusual?

Customer: Well, he'd like a snake or an alligator, but he isn't going to get one. Attendant: We have a nice dog right now － a Rottweiler!

Customer: A Rottweiler! Oh, no! I've heard about them on the news. They're very big and mean.

Attendant: Oh, no, ma'am. They aren't as mean as some dogs.

Customer: Really?

Attendant: Yes, really. Last week we had a small dog here. It was only as big as your purse, but it was as mean as the devil. It bit me three times!

Customer: Let's forget dogs, then.

Attendant: What about a cat?

Customer: A cat. Hmm ... They aren't as friendly as dogs, are they?

Attendant: No, but they don't eat as much as dogs either. And they're very clean.

Customer: Hmm ...

Attendant: What about a bird then? A parrot or a parakeet. We have both. Customer: Which do you recommend?

Attendant: Well, parakeets aren't as easy to train, and they never speak as well as parrots.

Customer: Yes, but parakeets don't need as much space as parrots, do they? Attendant: That's true. Parakeets are very popular because they are so easy to keep.

Customer: Yes, but they're a little noisy, aren't they? I want a quiet pet.

Attendant: A quiet pet? Well, what about a goldfish? There's nothing as quiet as a goldfish.
