英語ストーリー

I always wanted a pet, but my apartment was too small. Then, my landlord changed the rules, and I finally got my wish! I adopted Coco, a fluffy Persian cat, from a local animal shelter. She was timid at first, hiding under the sofa for days. But with patience and a lot of tuna, she warmed up to me. Coco quickly became a vital part of my life. She'd greet me at the door every evening, purring loudly. We'd spend hours together, her soft fur a comforting presence. She'd even curl up on my lap while I worked, occasionally batting at my keyboard with a playful paw. One day, Coco got sick. It was a frightening experience. I rushed her to the vet, worried sick. Fortunately, it was just a minor infection, and she recovered quickly. That experience made me realize how much she means to me. She's more than just a pet; she's family. Now, Coco is a happy, healthy cat. She continues to bring joy and companionship to my life. I can't imagine life without my fluffy friend.
