One morning, I woke up and felt something strange. Suddenly, I could hear animals talking! I looked outside, and the dog in the yard was wagging its tail.
“Hi, buddy!” I said. The dog barked happily. “Hello! I’m so glad you can hear me! I love running and playing with you. And I always wait for you to come home!”
I smiled. “What do you think about all day?” I asked.
I think about food, running, and sleeping,” the dog said.
I giggled and continued walking down the street. Then I spotted a bird perched on a tree. “Hello, bird!” I exclaimed.
The bird chirped. “I love flying in the sky! It‘s so pretty up there. I can see everything. The clouds are fluffy, and the wind is wonderful!
I thought that was really cool! I just kept walking and there was a cat on a wall. “Hi, cat!” I said.
The cat glanced up at me. “I like napping, eating, and having my own space. I don‘t like it when people try to get me to do tricks,” the cat replied in a slightly annoyed manner.
I smiled and nodded. “I get it!”
I talked to a lot more animals that day. A rabbit told me it loved to hop around but always feared hawks. A horse told me it loved apples and couldn’t understand why humans walked on two legs.
It was near the end of the day when I sat with the dog again. “What do you like best about the day?” I asked.
The dog smiled. “Being with you is the best.”
I realized how great it was to hear the animals talk, even though only for one day. It was a special experience I would never forget.
