My friends
My Super Friend Max
“Woof! Woof-woof!” Listen! That’s my super friend Max saying, “Hey! My friend is home!” He runs to me and jumps on my body. Oh, my boy! He’s so cute!

What does Max look like? Max is a small, fluffy white puppy with big, shiny eyes. His eyes look like black marbles. His ears are very soft, like two little pillows.

Max’s superpowers:
◇A super nose—He can sniff me out, even if I’m far away from home. He can sniff out cookies, even if I hide them on the tall cupboard.

◇A super companion—He can not talk, but he knows me. When I’m happy, he jumps around me, up and down. When I’m sad, he rests beside me with his head on my legs, “Don’t worry. I’m here!”

◇A super teacher—Max is a good runner. He’s my running teacher. At first, I was slow, like a turtle. He always stays with me and wags his tail, as if saying “Come on! You can do it!” Now, I’m a good runner too.
Max is not only my pet, but also my super friend. What about your pet? Does he or she have any superpowers?
