Pearl

A few days ago one of our parakeets, named Pearl, died. We're not sure how she died, but she did.

We were having breakfast and Molly saw her lying on the bottom of her cage. We were all sad to lose her.

Malinki

Today my little brother Andrei's Friend and turtle, Malinki died. We don't know why, but he did. We buried him in my sister Molly's Prayer Spot, also the animal grave yard. We said a few words. When Andrei's turn came he said he did not know what to say. I told him to talk about what a great Friend he was, he was Andrei's first real pet, how much fun they had together. Andrei broke into tears and said "He was a great Friend."
We all miss poor Malinki.
(Malinki is Russian for small.)
