“You can get a kitten,” I promised my seven-year-old daughter,Cali.“As soon as we got settled in our new apartment.” Her life had been uprooted when her father and I divorced. So one morning,we headed to North Bay Animal Services to pick out her new pet.
There were plenty of cats to choose from,but Cali had her heart set on two orange-and-white kittens.The attendant told us they were brothers called Caramel and Butter.They played like best friends.When they were tired out,they curled (蜷缩) around each other,their identical markings creating what looked like a heart.
Cali wanted to take them both. But the landlord had made it clear that we could only have one pet in the apartment.Finally,we decided to bring Caramel home.Cali renamed him Ozzy.That night I watched Ozzy and Cali fall asleep together,telling myself they'd forget about the other kitten soon.
How wrong I was! Ozzy did seem lonely without his twin. No matter how Cali and I tried to distract him over the next few days,he wandered around the apartment,crying,as if looking for his brother.After two weeks of being like this,I broke down. We drove back to the shelter,only to be told Butter was adopted four days ago.
Cali was sad,and I was so desperate to calm her down that I said something foolish.“We'll find Butter and adopt him too,”I said.“What are you doing?”I asked myself.I knew I'd never be able to fulfill that promise.But it was the only thing that seemed to bring my daughter some peace.
With time going on, Ozzy got used to being on his own. And Cali stopped asking about the other kitten. Our new life was working out just as I'd hoped. I even started dating again. Brian, who lost his wife four years ago,seemed promising.He had a daughter,Ruby,just a year older than Cali.I'd met him online and talked to him for months before we planned a dinner at his home.

[参考范文]
That day,after dinner, we were walking by Brian's house when I saw a flash of orange-and-white in the corner.Ozzy?I approached closer,only to find it looked so much like Ozzy.Feeling my steps,the cat shot into the nearby bush like lightning.Obviously,it's not my family member,for Ozzy wouldn't be in such horror when seeing his owner.“What a coincidence!” There were so many orange-and-white cats in the world.
“That's my cat,” Brian said. “Butter! Come out!”he shouted.Hearing what he said,I just could hardly believe my ears.The name was an astonishment to me.“Is Butter from North Bay Animal Services? Is it a boy?”“Yeah,yeah!How do you know that?We adopted him one month ago.” Brian nodded in surprise.“Oh!Butter is Ozzy's twin!” I told him the whole story from soup to nuts in delight,looking into Brian's eyes,as if having met him before.Brian was so excited that he burst out laughing,opening the arms towards me.Today Ozzy and his brother are inseparable,just as my new family.
