Rayam’s Pets

by Ehte A.

I have a grandson. His name is Rayan and he is thirteen years old. He loves animals and likes to have pets.

His first pet was a parrot. He was a beautiful parrot that his father bought from a friend in Southern California. His dad was told that the parrot could talk. However, when he arrived at Rayan’s house the parrot was always very angry and would yell at people. When Rayan tried to play with him the parrot bit his finger. They soon figured out that the parrot could only speak Spanish and nobody understood him. Rayan gave the parrot to a friend who could speak Spanish.

Then his mom bought two fish for Rayan. The problem was that they would fight and could not be in the same fish tank with each other. The fish tank was on top of the air conditioner and, after a few months, one of them died and we think the other fish jumped out of the fish tank and fell in the air conditioner.

Next, Rayan’s mom bought hermit crabs. They were very beautiful but when Rayan got older he gave them away to a friend.

His next pets were hamsters. They liked to play together but at night they were very noisy. Unfortunately, one of them died and a few weeks later the other hamster died. I met a lady who had a kid and I cleaned the cage and gave the cage to her.

Rayan’s last pet was a turtle. His mom paid a lot of money for it because it was a special turtle. Rayan kept the turtle for a few years before he gave the turtle to a friend.

Rayan is very good with animals, and one day he would like to have a dog.
