Lisa lives with her dog, Fluffy.
Fluffy never eats anything that costs less than 50 dollars. He has a really expansive taste.
One day Fluffy gets lost. Lisa looks for him everywhere, but she can't find him.
"Fluffy, my friend, you are on your own," she says.
Poor Fluffy walks and walks. He is not sure where to turn, and it is already time for his 4 o'clock snack.
"What should I do?" Fluffy thinks.
Now it is 8 o'clock, and Fluffy is really hungry. He wants to eat, and he wants his 8 o'clock bath.
"Oh, no…" Fluffy thinks.
Now it is 10 o'clock, and Fluffy is extremely hungry. He wants his snack, his dinner, his bath and his soft bed.
Suddenly he spots a big gray dog, with a big gray nose.
The big gray dog chews something.
Fluffy tries not to stare, but he is really hungry by now.
"What do you want?" The big gray dog asks.
"Hmm, well… Maybe you could give me some food and snacks, and a bath too?"
The dog smiles, "A bath?"
"Yes, a bath. I am tired, and hungry, and dirty," Fluffy answers.
"Well, of course I can. Come into my spa."
The big dog laughs and walks away.
"Wait!" Fluffy barks, "please don't go. I am all alone and I need my snack!"
Fluffy seems very sad. The big gray dog looks at him and turns back.
"What is your name?" he asks.
"I am Fluffy. And you?"
"I am Bam. Come, I can't offer you a bath, but a shower is a different story."
Fluffy and Bam walk to a leaking hose, and have a shower.
Bam gives Fluffy some food. At first Fluffy wants to refuse, but he is too hungry.
"So where is your home?" Bam asks.
"I live with Lisa. She takes good care of me. I get snacks, food, a bath…"
"Nice girl." Bam says.
"Yes, she is. I hope to find her. And I hope she doesn't give away my dear dear snacks…"
The two dogs go to sleep under the open sky. Fluffy falls asleep and dreams of snacks having baths.
Fluffy wakes up. He hopes he is in a bad dream, but now he sees this is real. Bam sits beside him.
"Is it time for your 9 o'clock bath?" he smiles.
"I don't have a 9 o'clock bath. I have a 9 o'clock golf match!" Fluffy answers angrily.
"Golf? Are you playing Golf?!"
"Yes, and I do it very well, if I may say."
"You may. But I need to see it to believe it. A dog playing golf…"
Fluffy jumps on his legs and starts running.
"Hey! Where to, little doggie?" Bam barks and starts running, too.
"I will show you! Where is your golf field?"
"Well, I have no golf field!"
"It's okay! I will find one!"
The 2 dogs run and run until they reach the park. Fluffy is very happy. He finds a stick and a can and brings them to Bam.
"This is not perfect, but it is something!" he says. He digs some holes in the ground. "Now, watch!" he barks.
Fluffy grabs the stick and just stands there, looking very very serious. Bam watches him.
Then, after 5 minutes, Fluffy hits the can with his stick. The can rolls and enters a far away hole. Fluffy is satisfied. He stands long and tall, and waits for the applause.
Bam is surprised, "You are actually good!"
"Of course I am. What about you? What is your favorite sports?"
"Well, sitting by the hose."
"I am not sure it is a sport."
"It's not actually. I am hose cucumber."
"A hose cucumber?!" Fluffy doesn't understand.
"Yes. Some people are couch potatoes. It means they sit on the couch and watch TV."
"I am hose cucumber. I sit by the hose." Bam explains.
"So why aren't you a hose potato?"
"People are potatoes. Dogs are cucumbers."
"This really makes a lot of sense, you know." Fluffy says wisely.
"Yes, it does. Let's go. I am sure it is time for your 11 o'clock beauty treatment." Bam starts to walk away.
"Yes it is! How did you know?" Fluffy jumps happily after him.
And that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
The End

【译文】丽莎的狗狗叫毛毛
丽莎和她的狗毛毛住在一起。
毛毛从不吃价格低于50美元的任何东西。它的口味非常广泛。
有一天毛毛丢了。丽莎到处找它，但没能找到。
“毛毛，我的朋友，你只能靠自己了，”她说。
可怜的毛毛走啊走啊。它不知道该往哪里转，现在已经到了4点钟吃零食的时间了。
“我该怎么办？”毛毛心想。
现在是8点，毛毛真的很饿。它想吃饭，想要它的8点钟洗澡。
“哦，不......”毛毛心想。
现在是10点钟，毛毛饿坏了。它想要它的零食、晚餐、洗澡和软床。
突然，它看到一只大灰狗，长着一个灰色的鼻子。
大灰狗在嚼东西。
毛毛试图不盯着看，可它现在真的太饿了。
“你想要什么？”大灰狗问道。
“嗯，好吧......也许你可以给我一些食物、零食，还有洗个澡？”
大灰狗笑了，“洗个澡？”
“是的，洗个澡。我累了，饿了，也脏了，”毛毛回答。
“好吧，我当然可以。进入我的水疗中心。”
大灰狗笑着走开了。
“等等！”毛毛叫道，“请不要走。我孤零零的一个人，我需要零食！”
毛毛似乎很难过。大灰狗看看它，然后转过身来。
“你叫什么名字？”他问。
“我叫毛毛。你呢？”
“我是班姆。来吧，我不能给你洗澡，但淋浴是另一回事。”
毛毛和班姆来到一个漏水的软管旁，并洗了个淋浴。
班姆给了毛毛一些食物。毛毛起初想拒绝，但它太饿了。
“那么你的家在哪里？”班姆问道。
“我和丽莎住在一起。她精心照顾我。我有零食、食物，还可以洗澡......”
“好姑娘。”班姆说。
“是的，她是个好姑娘。我希望能找到她。我希望她不要丢弃掉我的那些非常非常昂贵的小吃......”
两只狗在空旷的天空下睡下了。毛毛睡着了，梦到自己边洗澡边吃零食。
毛毛醒了。它真希望自己只是处于噩梦之中，但现在它明白这是真的。班姆就坐在它旁边。
“你的9点钟洗澡时间到了吗？”它笑着说。
“我没有9点钟的洗澡。我有9点钟的高尔夫球比赛！”毛毛很生气地回答。
“高尔夫？你在打高尔夫吗？！”
“是的，不客气地说，我打得很好。”
“随便你说。但是我需要眼见为实。一只打高尔夫球的狗......”
毛毛跳起身来，开始奔跑。
“嘿！去哪儿，小狗狗？” 班姆叫道，也撒腿跑起来。
“我会证明给你看！你的高尔夫球场在哪里？”
“呃，我没有高尔夫球场！”
“没关系！我会找到一个！”
两只狗跑啊跑啊，一口气跑到了公园。毛毛很开心。它找到了一根棍子和一听罐头，并将这两样东西带到班姆跟前。
“东西不怎么样，但能发挥作用！”它说。它在地上挖了一些洞。 “现在，注意看！”他叫道。
毛毛握着棍子，直直地站在那里，表情非常非常严肃。班姆注视着它。
于是，5分钟后，毛毛用棍子击打罐头。罐头滚动起来，进入一个很远的洞里。毛毛很满意。它长时间地矗立着，等待掌声。
班姆很惊讶，“你真的很棒！”
“那当然。你怎么样？你最喜欢什么运动？”
“呃，在水管子旁边坐着。”
“这不是一项运动吧？”
“确实不是。我是软管黄瓜。”
“软管黄瓜？！”毛毛不明白。
“是的。有些人是沙发土豆。意思是说，他们坐在沙发上看电视。”
“我是软管黄瓜。我在软管旁边呆坐着。”班姆解释道。
“那你为什么不是软管土豆？”
“人类是土豆。狗是黄瓜。”
“这么讲也确实很有道理，对吧。”毛毛机智地说道。
“是的，确实如此。咱们走吧。我相信现在是你11点钟做美容的时候了。”班姆抬腿走开了。
“是的，是的！你怎么知道的？”毛毛欢快地跳跃着，追随在它身后。
那是美好友谊的开始。
（完）
