Birds, reptiles and choosing a pet, sentence 0
A pet is not a toy for a birthday: it lives for years and needs food, cleaning and company every single day, so a family thinks hard and learns about the animal before getting one.
Who acts: pet, family · What happens: not be, live, need, think, learn, get · To what, where: toy, food, one
