Unit3 The Rescued Puppy
第3单元 获救的小狗

Sammy was out for a walk in the woods when she came across a little puppy laying on the trail. Sammy bent down and the little dirty puppy opened its eyes. She could see that the small animal hadn't been eating proper meals and its skin was covered in cuts.
萨米在森林散步时发现一只小狗躺在路上。萨米低头看，脏兮兮的小狗张开它的眼睛，她看得出这只小动物已经很久没好好吃东西，身上还有几处伤口。

Sammy scooped up the creature and carried it home. Once home Sammy put the puppy straight into the bath. The puppy didn't like the water and as it was trying to get out of the sink, Sammy discovered the puppy was a girl. Finally, after the pup was cleaned and fed, she took her to the vet. The vet gave the tiny dog some medicine and told Sammy the pup would be fine.
萨米抱起小狗，带它回家。一回到家，萨米便帮小狗洗澡，小狗不喜欢水，一直想逃出洗手台，就在此时，萨米注意到它是只母狗。等到洗干净并喂过小狗后，她带它去看兽医。兽医替这只小狗开了些药，并告诉萨米它没事。

Sammy wanted to keep the puppy but she couldn't because she was allergic to dogs. Sammy posted the puppy's picture on the Internet. Five days later a family came and took the puppy home. Sammy was sad to see her little friend go but she knew she was going to a good home.
萨米很想养狗，可是她对狗过敏不能养。她在网络上张贴小狗的照片，五天后，一户人家前来带小狗回家。萨米看着她的小小朋友离开，感到很难过，不过她知道它将去到好人家。
