妈妈，你看那只狗多可爱，眼睛大大的，嘴小小的，我们买回去吧。 动物和小孩儿一样，都需要人照顾。买回家去，谁照顾它啊？ 我照顾啊。 这段时间你自己的衣服都没洗，你能照顾好它吗？ 只要你给我买，我就能照顾好它。

Mom, look how cute that dog is. Its eyes are big and its mouth is small. Let's buy it and take it home. Animals are just like kids; they all need people to take care of them. If you buy it and bring it home, who will take care of it? I'll take care of it. You haven’t even washed your own clothes lately; can you take good care of it? As long as you buy it for me, I can take good care of it.
