First, a turtle is quiet. It does not make any noise when eating and running. Moreover, a turtle only eats a little if there is not enough food available. In an extreme environment, turtle can stop eating for a couple of weeks. In addition, a turtle lives longer other pets. In some countries and areas, turtle is the symbol of longevity. A turtle is “rich” since it is born with a house – a turtle shell. It can protect the turtle from dangers of the environment. Therefore, I like a turtle as my ideal pet. =============================== Manuel Ideal Pet If I will have a pet, my ideal will be a little monkey. I think when he is young he looks so nice and beautiful; his fur feels some fine silk. If he grew up with humans, he can learn what humans do or maybe we can teach them. I like the little monkeys because I saw some of them performing some little jobs. In the end, I can have a good entertaining and gracious pet.
