きのうわたしはタローを病びょう院いんへつれていきました。タローは去きょ年ねんわたしが友ともだちからもらったかわいい子こ犬いぬです。数すう日じつ前まえからタローは元げん気きがなく、食たべ物ものもほとんど食たべなくなりました。それでしんぱいだったので近ちかくの動どう物ぶつ病びょう院いんへつれていったのです。

病びょう院いんでタローはちゅうしゃをされていたようになっていました。毎まい日にちくすりものませなければならないそうです。医い者しゃはそうすれば1週しゅう間かんぐらいでよくなるだろうと言いいました。タローはちゅうしゃもくすりもいやがっていましたが、わたしは医い者しゃのことばを聞きいて少すこし安あん心しんしました。
