Joe and Bella had always wanted a pet. But their parents always said no.

We're too busy, they said. Pets make too much mess. We've enough to do, without a pet as well!

Then one day, Bella came home from school very excited. My friend Izzy has got a hamster, she told the rest of the family over tea. She's asked me to go round and play tomorrow so I can meet her. I wish I could have a hamster!

Well you can't, said Mum, passing round spaghetti. No pets here!

I'd like a puppy, said Joe.

You know we can't have a puppy, said Mum. We're all too busy to take it for walks.

Then how about a kitten? Joe asked.

No kittens, either, said Dad. In fact, no pets at all!
