    Ever since I was a small child, I have always wanted a pet. Even when I fell asleep, I often dreamed about having a pet and believed that one would appear when I woke up. However, there is a person who likes to “fight” against my wish and makes it clear that she doesn’t like animals. She is my beloved mother.

    My favorite animal is the monkey. I think the monkey is one of the most clever animals in the world. Monkeys are fun and sensitive. Some people think that you can’t keep a monkey at home. But there is a rich man in Brazil who keeps tigers in his house. I would rather keep a monkey at home instead of a tiger. Even though a monkey is safer than a tiger, it is not easy to make him behave like a little child, but I think a monkey can be our friend. If I am nice to it, it will be nice to me, too.

    What benefits can I get from keeping a monkey? I will be very happy living with such a cute creature. Monkeys are also good at doing sports, so I can exercise with it. In my opinion, keeping a monkey as a pet is much better than having nothing.

    In short, keeping a pet will bring much happiness.

    My lovely mother, please believe that the monkey and I will be nice to each other once we live together. I hope you will agree with me after reading this article.
