230 My tail's wagging 我在搖尾巴呢
On the way home from my job at the pet boarding kennel, I stopped at the grocery store. I was on line at the checkout counter with a full cart when I noticed a man on a longer line buying only two items. Without thinking, I did what I always do when calling to another of God's creatures—I whistled at him and commanded, “Come!” As the man got in line in front of me, he grumbled, “Lucky for you my tail's wagging.”
