Salma's family decides to adopt a dog. They visit the animal shelter together. Two dogs make Salma stop and look.
萨尔玛一家决定领养一只狗。他们一起去了动物收容所。有两只狗让萨尔玛停下脚步，仔细看了起来。
One dog is small, calm, and quiet. The other dog is big and full of energy. Salma cannot decide between the two dogs.
一只狗个子小，温顺又安静。另一只狗个子大，精力充沛。萨尔玛没办法在这两只狗之间做出选择。
The small dog sits calmly by her feet. The big dog jumps and wags its tail. Both dogs seem to want a home.
小狗安静地坐在她脚边。大狗又蹦又跳，摇着尾巴。两只狗好像都想有一个家。
Salma walks around the shelter a little. She looks at other dogs in their cages. Her mind keeps returning to these two.
萨尔玛在收容所里走了走，看了看笼子里的其他狗。可她的心思总是回到这两只狗身上。
Salma asks the shelter worker for advice. "Think about your daily life," the worker says. "Which dog fits your family better?"
萨尔玛向收容所的工作人员请教。“想想你平时的生活，”工作人员说，“哪只狗更适合你们家？”
Salma thinks about her small apartment. She thinks about her short daily walks. She thinks about her busy school week too.
萨尔玛想到了她家的小公寓，想到了每天短短的散步，还想到了忙碌的上学一周。
The calm, small dog seems like a better fit. She sits down next to the small dog. It rests its head on her lap.
那只温顺的小狗好像更合适。她在小狗旁边坐下。小狗把头靠在她的腿上。
The big dog barks once from its cage. Salma smiles and looks over at it. Maybe another family will choose him soon.
大狗在笼子里叫了一声。萨尔玛笑着看了看它。也许很快会有别的家庭选中它。
She clips a new leash onto the small dog's collar.
她把一条新牵引绳扣在小狗的项圈上。
