It was late and the streets were empty as I was going back home after work last Friday evening. Suddenly I heard some noise under the nearest tree. I came up to the tree and saw a small puppy! He was clean and so pretty that I couldn't help smiling. Of couse, I took this little miracle with me. It was a present for my small daughter. I thought she would be happy. Было уже поздно, и улицы были пусты, когда я возвращался домой после работы в пятницу вечером. Вдруг я услышал какой-то шум под ближайшим деревом. Я подошел к дереву и увидел маленького щенка! Он был чистый и такой хорошенький, что я не мог не улыбнуться. Конечно, я взял это маленькое чудо с собой. Это был подарок для моей маленькой дочери. Я думал, она будет счастлива.
