Dear Anna,
               How are you? I am fine. I miss you and your horse, Black Beauty so much. Do you still ride him every evening just like what we always did before? Last month my father bought me a cat as my pet. I named her Snow White. I think I love my cat more than my previous horse! You must be shocked right? Although I had already one month we both knew each other, but I can’t imagine my life without her even for a second.                                                                                                                              
              Everyday, before I’m going to bed, she will be at the other side of my bed to accompany me. When I wake in the morning, she will be waited me near the bed. She will follow me until I’m going to my bath room. Oh! Of course I don’t allow her to come in. When I am having my breakfast, she will wink her eyes at me. I know she give me a sign to have the meal too. By that time, I will put her Friskies in her plate. She seems very happy to live with me.
I hope to hear from you soon. Send my hug to Black Beauty. Good Bye!
Yours sincerely,
Sarah.
