Hello, Sam!
Thanks for the letter, Sam. I'm glad you're okay. I met a stranger last night. He asked me if I liked animals. We were on the same bus, so I had to answer him. Of course I like animals. I told him about that. He smiled and asked me if I liked cats. I was surprised. Cats are my favorite animal. I've wanted a cat for a long time. My parents don't mind a cat! But I can't find the right kitten. "I very love cats!" I said. After that, the man took out of his coat a little black kitten with green eyes. My joy knew no bounds! This kitten - a miracle! I like it so much! The man said he was giving me a kitten. Now I have a cat and his name is Richard! I'm excited! Tell me, what did you do yesterday? Anything new?
With Love and Care,
