Early in the morning, I was taken into a truck by my owner, Mrs. Johnson. What’s more, I was
left in a big bag where it was black. I felt terrible. Why? What would she do with me? She was
hardly able to live in the world after the death of her husband.Afew minutes later, I heard the truck
start its engine and move as fast as a plane. I kept making sounds to show my protest (抗议), but
failed to make any difference. I didn’t know how much time passed before she put me down in a
strange place. Maybe she didn’t want me to die from the lack of air, so she opened the bag. This let
mebreathewell and lookaround. I looked up,only tosee many strange faces.
How stupid I had been! I did not realize that my owner meant to desert (遗弃) me until that
moment. I saw my owner on the truck, which was going farther and farther away. So I quickly ran in
the direction of the truck. The days we spent together were like a movie playing in front of my eyes
as I ran. I saw Mr. Johnson, who suffered serious disease look at me with his sad eyes; I saw myself
sit between them and listen to their talk; I saw him lying in his dying bed, and she was in tears … I
ran as fast as I could.And the moment I saw her wave to me, my eyes became wet. I couldn’t blame
her for treating me like this for she was such an unlucky lady. She seemed angry at his leaving her
alone. She had tried many ways to forget him and to escape the pain of losing him. She burnt hispictures and clothes, and she redecorated (重新装修) the whole house. Now I was the only one to
remind her ofhim.
But later she realized she was wrong to do this … The truck finally stopped when I was almost
worn out. She ran up to me and hugged (拥抱) me tightly. I heard her whisper: “I know you are a
present he left to me.” “So let me go through life with you as a witness to his love. Death could not
takeaway true love.”Isaid to myself.
