My family has four members, but we added another one when I was first grade in junior high school. He came so abruptly that I was so surprised and excited. He was so small and so lovely that I cannot help touching him. We made a "grand residence" for him , therefore he could rest and play in it.
He is a cute little hamster, my dear little boy. We called him Shushu(鼠鼠). Mom took him home some day and all of us except my father love him so much. Because that was our first time to keep such a tiny animal, we truly took god care of him. We let him live cozily instead of putting him into a narrow cage. We never fed him fodder but some healthy food like fruits and vegetables. Sometimes we even gave him some deserts such as chocolate and cookies. We treated him like our baby. Mom always bathed him carefully. She used advanced "Sebamed" to bath him instead of any kinds of soaps. Our bodies became his sports field. He would run through our whole bodies again and again. Sometimes he would even pee directly on our clothes. When he was tired, he would take a nap in our hands.
He had successfully escaped from his home twice. We had no idea how he made it. I would take a look at him routinely every morning when I get up. I clearly remember that time when I called his name nothing responded me. I thought maybe he was still sleeping. Therefore, I called his name again. But there was still no any answer. I was overwhelmed by horror. I kept praying that he was just resting in his house so he could not hear my voice. I examined his house nervously.To my startle, he was gone. He was gone !!! And where could I find him? Unfortunately, our house is so big that he could hide in any place. What if he ran into a small hole that we could not reach ? He would starve if no one fed him. I could not imagine the outcome anymore. I was afraid that I could not see him any longer. He was my flesh and blood!!! Suddenly, I glanced a little shadow moved behind the refrigerator, I was quite excited. "I found him!" I carefully extended my hand and stealthily approached him."Got it!" He finally came back. Both my mom and my brother were glad about that.
Shushu had accompanied us for three years. He came to join us when I was first grade in junior high school and left us when I just graduated from it. I could clearly remember that day when he was going to die. He uttered a painful sound and moved so slowly. I was the only person beside him. Seeing that scene, I felt really frustrated. "Please don't leave me! My dear babe. How could I do to relieve your pain? You had already been my part of life. Just like my hands and my body that I could not live without." However,to my disappointment, he became more weak. Gradually, he could not move anymore. I held him in the hand. Before long, he slept forever. I could not believe it. Shushu was gone. He had left us for good. No longer would he come back. I sorrowed over my beloved little boy's death. I just kept wailing and wailing......and wailing...
My heart was so hurt........
