disappeared. Then suddenly a big rain cloud came out of nowhere. We couldn’t believe it; it just started raining unexpectedly. We didn’t have an umbrella. Grandma didn’t want her beautiful hair to get wet. “Quick! Give me your schoolbag!” she ordered. She wore my schoolbag on her head! Pepper also hates the rain, so I had to carry her home.

Dogs and people have been friends for thousands of years, but for a very long time, scientists did not know how dogs felt towards humans. Experts at a university in Atlanta have tested dogs to find the answer. They said that dogs react more to the smell of humans than other pets. The smell of their owners actually gave dogs a happy feeling, which could be seen in a specific part of their brains. Other tests show that dogs also get happier when we talk to them in our “good dog” voice. They are also the only animals, except for monkeys, who look us in the eye and come to us for help when they don’t feel safe. So, yes, it is real love!

Did you know that in 2026 the FIFA World Cup will be held in Mexico, Canada, and the US? Yes, I heard about it last night… That’s so cool. Yeah, it’s such great news that there will be some games in Mexico. I think it’s just going to be very expensive for people to see a lot of games; they’ll have to travel to three different countries. Sorry, I didn’t get what you mean. Usually the World Cup is just in one country, so people don’t have to travel so much. That’s true. At least we won’t have to travel far! Good point. I’m really excited, are you a football fan? I like soccer, as they call it in the US, but I only watch the World Cup. How about you? Oh, I love it; it’s definitely my favorite sport.
