Elias brought home a new puppy last week. The puppy was small, brown, and very curious. Elias loved him right away.
埃利亚斯上周带回了一只小狗。小狗个头小小的，棕色的毛，好奇心特别强。埃利亚斯一下子就爱上了它。
The puppy explored every room in the house. He sniffed the corners and chewed on toys. He was always full of energy.
小狗把家里的每个房间都探索了个遍。它闻闻墙角，咬咬玩具。它总是精力十足。
One morning, Elias left for work in a hurry. He forgot to put his shoes away. He left them right by the door.
一天早上，埃利亚斯匆匆忙忙出门上班。他忘了把鞋收起来，就把它们扔在门边。
He came home later that day. He found a big mess waiting. One shoe was chewed at the toe. The puppy looked up at him happily.
那天晚些时候他回到家，发现一片狼藉在等着他。一只鞋的鞋尖被咬坏了。小狗抬头看着他，一脸开心。
Elias sighed and picked up the shoe. "This is my fault, not yours," he said. He knew puppies chew things sometimes.
埃利亚斯叹了口气，捡起那只鞋。“这是我的错，不怪你。”他说。他知道小狗有时就是爱咬东西。
He looked around the house for other problems. Luckily, nothing else was damaged today. He gave the puppy a gentle pat.
他在屋里四处看了看，查看有没有别的问题。幸好，今天没有别的东西被弄坏。他轻轻拍了拍小狗。
The next day, Elias bought some chew toys. He put his shoes in the closet now. He gave the puppy a soft toy instead.
第二天，埃利亚斯买了一些磨牙玩具。他现在把鞋都放进了衣柜里。他给了小狗一个软软的玩具。
The puppy chewed his new toy happily. He left Elias's shoes alone after that. Elias smiled and scratched the puppy's ears.
小狗开心地啃着它的新玩具。从那以后，它就不再碰埃利亚斯的鞋了。埃利亚斯笑着，挠了挠小狗的耳朵。
