I think that a hamster would be a god pt becuse
a hamster doesent run around that much. a
hamster is a very small anamall. It is not a big
anamall like a dog. A hamster is very gentle not
wild. I don’t think a wild anamall like a dog
would be a nice pet in the classroom becuse it
would jump all over the place. it would probably
eat our papers! That’s why I want a hamster. I hope
our class pet is a hamster.
