***********************************************************************

Ever since he was six years old, Nick had wanted to get a puppy. His parents always refused.
They said he wasn’t capable of taking care of a puppy. “You have no idea how much work a
puppy is,” Dad said.
“You would have to housebreak the puppy, train the puppy to obey you, and groom it, too.”
“And then there’s taking the puppy to the vet, playing with it, and feeding it,” Mom added. “It’s
not that I’m against having a puppy. But a puppy takes up a lot of time.”
Nick couldn’t think of a way that he could convince his parents that he was ready for a puppy.
Then,he got an idea. “If I volunteer at the animal shelter,” he thought, “I’ll bet Mom and Dad will
see that I’m ready to take care of a puppy!”

Questions:
1. What does Nick want to have?
2. Did his parents allow him to have what he wanted?
3. Why did Nick’s parents refuse?
4. What did he thought of so he could convince his parents that he was ready for a puppy?
