金魚を三匹飼っていましたが去年亡くなっていました…現在何も飼っていません。
動物が大好きで猫とか飼いたいですけど、本当に忙しくて時間があまりないからペットがいたら寂しくなってあまり良くないと思います。

I heard a few years ago, a lady in Osaka had a pet wallaby which escaped. Apparently the surprised locals had a very hard time catching the wallaby as it hopped down the streets of Osaka!

このｌｅｓｓｏｎのあと ペートについておはなしが覚えられました。米国の選挙の候補者のオバマのことです。この候補者の支持者の中にオウムがいっていつもこんなに言うといわれています：Ｏｂａｍａ，Ｙｅｓ Ｗｅ ｃａｎ！ Ｏｂａｍａ Ｙｅｓ Ｗｅ ｃａｎ．面白くないですか？わたしがこのはなしをラジオから初めて聞いたときとってもおもしろいとおもいました。そのオウムはたぶん変わったペートかもしれません。
