He flew into the house with the of a Formula 1 (一级方程式赛车). In several minutes he ran over all the house, from my shoulder onto the bed, and ended up in the , where my wife washed him with motherly . From that day on, the invisible（看不见的） _ for the love of the new member of our household began at my home.
He seemed to that at once. Most of the meals that my wife had for him with greater care than those for me---he didn’t look at.
Every evening I went out walking with him. I could not know who was walking whom one evening, when, tired from work, I the walk. The dog was very angry and dragged me out.
Last night our dog pulled me by the ear with his teeth, me up in my dream, and dragged me into the kitchen to make me turn off the which had disturbed（干扰） his sleep. I meekly（乖乖地） that I had forgotten to switch off the light, but that was not . He looked at me like a teacher at a pupil who repeatedly makes .
Now we finally know who’s the at home, and for twenty years we had seriously argued whether it was my wife or I.
