Pets fill our homes with life and laughter. A white rabbit hops around the garden, munching on fresh clover and twitching its nose. A parrot in a cage squawks loudly, copying words it hears. It bobs its head and flaps its wings, showing off for anyone who passes by. Its owner laughs and talks to it, and it answers with a cheeky “Hello!” A hamster scurries in its wheel, running fast as if in a race.
