I like animals and I’ve got some pets. My hamster is called Samson and he’s the smallest animal in the house. My rabbit George lives in the garden. He likes jumping and he’s very good at it! My cat is called Fifi. She’s five years old – she’s older than George and Samson. She’s bigger than them, of course, and she’s very fat too! She’s fatter than our dog Biff. He’s the biggest pet in the house. He’s also faster than Samson, George and Fifi. Biff’s the oldest pet in the family, and he’s eight years old. I love them all!
