For most people, adopting(收养) a pet is one of the best decisions that they can ever make in their lives. In addition to giving an animal a home and a loving family, the owner will find the company of a pet brings more happiness than expected.
For someone like Maria, having a pet was very suitable. She was all alone after moving to a new apartment in Brazil, which made her feel lonely.
So when she found a cute black puppy named Chips, she knew she had to take him home. Maria thought that Chips would be able to fill the emptiness that she had been experiencing from living all alone.
Maria was right. Once she took the puppy home, they immediately bonded. However, as Maria had to work during the day, she was worried about leaving Chips home alone in her apartment. She was also worried that his crying would upset her neighbours.
One night, when she returned home, outside her door was a package with a folded note attached to it. Maria knew that she was in trouble. She hoped that she would not be evicted(驱逐) from her new apartment because of Chips. She loved Chips so much, and she was afraid that she might have to get rid of him because he made too much noise whenever she was away. Maria was frightened and wondered who could have left it at the door because she had little contact with the people in the building except her neighbour, Angelia. In fact, they only said hello few times.
However, when she noticed the names on the folded note, she found that it wasn't addressed to her but to her dog, Chips, and that it was “written” by another dog named Corote. Maria opened the package first and found a few toys for pets.
Paragraph 1:
Curious, Maria opened the note and started reading it. The note，which was actually written by her neighbour Angelia in Corote's voice，said she'd noticed Chips crying a lot. She wanted to give Chips some toys to play with so that he wouldn't feel alone when Maria was away. Besides，Chips was invited to play with Corote. Maria was deeply moved and felt relieved after reading the note. Instead of expressing discontent，her kind neighbour was really understanding and tried to offer support. Maria felt she needed to meet Angelia and her dog.
Paragraph 2:
With Chips following her, Maria knocked at Angelia's door. The door opened and Maria saw Angelia，smiling at her. Corote，Angelia's dog，followed her and stared at Chips happily. The two dogs immediately hit it off. A pleasant atmosphere was created when Maria and Angelia were chatting. After that，the two pairs regularly played together. In the process，Maria also got valuable advice from Angelia. Through their shared experiences and the joy their pets brought them，Maria and her neighbour formed a deep connection and their lives became very colourful and meaningful.
