Buddy was in love He had that peculiar, half dreaming look on his face and showed no interest in even his favorite food—beef with black pepper He only wanted me to walk with him at peak hour, when he peered at every car that passed b
 I knew he was looking for the lass he met the other day We were on our way home after doing some shopping when we saw this pretty little pup leap out of a car Buddy rushed over to walk with her, and knocked down my shopping bag full of peaches When I saw the fruit that Id paid 20 pounds per kilo all roll down under the wheels of cars, I lost my patience I had been pensioned from work for many years, and like my peers who also lived on pensions, I was past the peak of my life, and had to be careful with my payments I wanted to give Buddy some penalty After a while Buddy appeared, still looking back He perceived that something was wrong and touched my hand with his paw At dinnertime, he still didnt eat but pawed the pea soup in his plate Spilled soup penetrated the rug and made a mess on the floor I finally felt pity for him, so I stopped peppering my soup, turned off the TV, on which there was talk that the jobless rate was peaking this year, and took him out to look for his girl

巴迪恋爱了。他脸上总带着那副特别的、半梦幻式的表情，连他最喜欢吃的东西——黑胡椒牛肉，他也不感兴趣了。他只要我在交通高峰时间和他散步，这时他会仔细看过往的每辆汽车。我知道他在找那天他见过的那个小妞。  当时我们买完东西正往回走，看见这只漂亮的小狗从一辆车上跳下来。  巴迪忙跑过去和她走到一起，把我手里装满桃的购物袋打翻在地。看着每公斤花了我20英镑的水果全滚到了车轮下，我没法再忍耐了。退休这么多年来，我一直靠发给我的养老金过日子。像同样靠养老金生活的同龄人一样，我已过了一生之中的顶峰时期，付款时得特别小心。我想给巴迪一点惩罚。过了一会儿巴迪出现了，他还在不停地回头张望。他察觉出有点不对劲，便用他的爪子碰了碰我的手。到晚饭的时候，他还是不吃东西，只是用爪子抓着碟子里的豌豆汤。溢出来的汤渗入地毯，把地板弄得一塌糊涂。我终于可怜起他来，我停止在汤里撒胡椒粉，关掉电视——电视里正说着今年的失业率正值高峰，带着他去找他的女孩。
