Muning is one of our domesticated, accustomed to home life, pets.
Unlike the other felines in the house, it was a rescued cat. I found it a year
ago, near the riverbank, clinging to one of the tree’s roots. Since then,
Muning has been our happy pill. It loves to be caressed, stroked gently,
until it falls asleep on our laps. Even with the new quadruped, having four
feet, pets in the house, Muning will still remain as our loving feline.
1. What is being described in the story?
a. a cat
b. a dog
c. a cow
