Question

When Kyle walked into Ernie's Pet World, he looked very worried. He walked quickly to the front counter（柜臺）. Ernie jumped out to greet Kyle. He was the shop's first shopper of the day.

“Good morning, sir!” Ernie said. "What can I do for you?"

“Well, I...,” Kyle started to say.

“Wait, don't tell me,” Ernie stopped him. “You're looking for a … a little dog... for your daughter 's birthday. Right?”

“Not really, l just...”

Ernie didn't let him finish.“Ah, I've got it, You just moved into a new house, and you want some fish for it. I have some very nice fish over here.”

“In fact, I...” Kyle was starting to look very nervous (緊張的). His face had a strange expression（表情）on it.

“No fish? Ah, a cat! You look like a cat person. At Ernie's Pet World, we have the best kinds. Look at this Persian — long, white hair, and look at that cute expression. She's looking at you. She's thinking, ‘Take me home. Take me home.’ Would you like some cat food and toys as well?”

“No, thank you,” Kyle said. By this time, he was walking up and down. He had a pained (痛苦的) look on his face. “Really, I'm not interested in cats or fish or little dogs.”

“What do you want, then?” Ernie asked.

Kyle looked like he was going to cry. “I just want to know if I can use your bathroom（衛生間）!”he finally said.
