5、他們:他擅長畫畫,到處都放著狗的素描。他跑到圖書館去借他能找到的所有關(guān)于狗的書籍,也把它們丟得到處都是。他的父母已經(jīng)習(xí)慣他把書丟得到處都是了。后來安迪的母親得知一個(gè)朋友家的貓生了小貓,他們可以去抱一只回家。起初安迪感到有點(diǎn)失望,但自從有了貓之后,隨著時(shí)間的推移他學(xué)會(huì)給貓很多愛護(hù)。貓讓我們知道什么時(shí)候該換沙發(fā)了,也就是當(dāng)沙發(fā)織物開始看起來像用貓爪梳理過的愛因斯坦的頭發(fā)時(shí),這其實(shí)多虧有了慷慨捐贈(zèng)的貓毛。LarrySchwarz'sHobbiesLarrySchwarzhasplayedwithtoysallhislife.Asachild,heoftenpulledhisto
