What's your name? Read the following text. The Shelter Cats I had wanted a cat as long as I could remember, and finally my dream was coming true. I was getting a cat! My parents and my little brother Sam and I went to the cat shelter. There were many cats there, but my eyes were immediately drawn to a little golden cat. I ran over to the door and put my hand through the wire. The cat looked up at me with its big green eyes, and it lovingly licked my fingers. That’s when my heart melted. Sam ran over to the shelter door and shouted, “This is really a cute cat, Alise!” Charlie, the man who owned the shelter said, “That is Sandy. She is a very cute cat. Of course we have variety of cats if you prefer other kinds, too.” “No, this one,” Sam and I said together. So Charlie lifted Sandy out and handed it to me to pet. Sam wanted his turn, so I passed Sandy to Sam. Sam rubbed his face lovingly into the cat’s fur. Then, moments later, Sam began to sneeze. He rubbed his eyes and they began to water and turn red. Then dad said,” I believe Sam is allergic to cats! So we can’t buy that cat. I was really upset. I started crying, but not because I had an allergy. It was because I wanted that cat.
