I have a lion, funny face lion
He controls everyone at home
He eats a lot of meat and roars when I disturb
him
He is out most of the day
I call him dad
I also have a dove
She works all the day too, but she works at home
She is soft, gentle, kind and cares for her family
She is always there when I need her
I call her mum
I also have a peacock
She has a head with lots of colour
She has green eyes and beautiful feathers
She has a mop of hair at the front
I call her sister
I have a kitten
He is small and smooth
He has tiny little eyes and a wet nose
He drinks milk a lot and cries a lot
I call him baby brother
Then there is me
I'm the black sheep
But I'm not black
