Communication with animals develops responsibility in children. After all, the pet needs to be fed, walked, cleaned the pot, changed sawdust, etc.
Nowadays, the choice of a pet is no longer limited to a cat, dog or fish. In the pet store you can find many interesting and even exotic animals. A dog is man's best friend. Loneliness is not tolerated. Cats are distinguished by their affectionate and friendly disposition, independent and playful. Remember that responsibility for the animal will not appear in the child on its own; he needs to be taught to this, starting with the little things.

Jane was not an ordinary girl. She was an extremely popular person due to HER unusual gift. She was very good at arranging all sorts of PARTIES and events. In fact, all the scripts and programmes for our school events WERE WRITTEN by Jane. We helped her as much as we could but she always did most of the work. Once I asked Jane if she could help me to make a surprise for my mum. Jane AGREED at once. “I WILL HELP you, no problem,” she said, “But I need to know some details about your mum.” Jane asked me about what time my mum usually got up and when she went to bed, what food she liked and hated, what her favourite films, colours, and flowers WERE. She asked me a lot of questions and I COULDN'T answer most of them. I felt uneasy but Jane laughed, “It’s a common thing. Unfortunately, we often do not notice even our own family – our parents, sisters and brothers. If we KNEW other people better, we would understand them better. And we would be much KINDER to them, wouldn’t we?” “What would you like me to bring you from London?” Dad often asked me this question when he was going somewhere on business. He worked a lot and WASN'T SPENDING a lot of time with the family. We knew that he loved US a lot but he was really a very busy person. And it was his THIRD business trip that month. I thought for a moment and said: “I want a Paddington Bear.” My dad WAS PACKING his suitcase but he looked up at me at once when he heard that. He was surprised and asked me why I WANTED a Paddington Bear. I didn’t know what to answer. My dad STOPPED packing and sat down beside me. “You know, when I was small,” dad said quietly, “that bear was my favourite fictional character.” I read the book too and I also saw a film about that character. He was a very polite bear who travelled to London from some exotic country. He WAS DISCOVERED in Paddington Station by the Brown family, who adopted him. The soft toy changed their life and made it much BETTER.“Ok. I WILL BRING you the bear if you want”, said Dad. “And we’ll also see the film about him as soon as I come back. Agreed?” “Sure.” I was delighted with his plan.
