One day I was playing cricket with my friends near a field of my house. That day the game was exciting and fun-filled but unfortunately it started raining, we had to stop playing and we took shelter under a tree.

There I saw a dog, wet with rain and trembling from cold. So I took off my jacket and covered him with it. Then I took him into my arms and took him home. I wiped him with a towel and brushed him clean. When my mother saw it at first she was a little annoyed but later she saw the dog was quiet and well-behaved.

So my mother gave me some money to buy some biscuits and milk for it. Before I went out, mother asked me what name had I chosen for him? I told her let's call himZuko. So I took him, and went to a shop to buy food for Zuko. After coming back from the shop I gave him the food to eat then I thought where should I keep him? I thought I should make a little kennel for him. Then I arranged some wood and paint to build up a kennel for my best friend Zuko . Then I kept him in the kennel and put the kennel in my balcony.

On the next day I went to school and Zuko was looking  for me, then my mother told him that I am at school and Zuko could understand what my mother said but he could not speak. After I came back from school , I took Zuko to the field and there we played with the ball . I hit the ball with the cricket bat and he helped me to bring it back. I love Zuko and he also loves me and we will be best friends forever and he will never leave me alone and I will try to keep him as many years as I can.
