Nadav has a new hamster

1

Nadav who is 8 years old has always dreamed of raising a dog. He has loved animals since he was a small child and he wanted to adopt one as a friend.

2

Unfortunately, his mother didn’t agree to raise a dog at their house.  She claimed that a dog could dirty the house. She also feared that after the first excitement faded, she and his father would have to take care of the dog. Since both his parents were very busy with their jobs, she knew that it would be very difficult to handle such situation and that the dog would eventually suffer.

Nadav was very disappointed. He felt that his dream to live with an animal, who could also be a friend, was getting far away from him. His parents, who saw how upset he was by their decision, decided to surprise him and bring him a hamster. Surely a hamster was not a dog, but they thought that a hamster was an animal that Nadav could take care of and play with. It could make him happy!

One evening, Nadav’s mother entered the house with a surprise in her hands – a beautiful and a spacious cage with a cute hamster in it. Nadav was very surprised. He immediately opened the cage, took out the hamster and held it in his arms – “I will name it Hami” he said and that was how the new hamster got his name.
