A New Pet

Mommy and daddy have decided not to get me a pet dog or cat while we are here in West Africa. But I am working on persuading them to buy me some other type of pet. People here in West Africa have many different types of pets. I have considered a pet goose, but they tend to be too aggressive. I thought about ducks, but they walk funny. We have had pet lizards in our house, but they tend not to stay around. Then the idea came to me this past week while we were out in the village. One of our friends had one on a leash and was taking it for a walk. It was shorter than me, but looked like it would be lots of fun to play with. So, I figured, why not? I will ask mommy and daddy for a pet calf! I haven’t got an answer back from them yet, but I am still hoping. I will let you know if they actually say yes.
