coffee no. 95

In my neighbourhood lives an old woman who's got the ugliest dog in the world. It is a round, fat, white creature that never run or bark. You can hardly see its eyes, ears, paws, and tail, so the dog looks like a snowball trundling on the grass, and getting more and more dirty. But the woman loves it with all her heart -- I saw very often when she was gazing at the Snowball Dog with a huge admiration and happiness.
Today I was waiting for someone in front of my house and the dog slowly came up to me. I stroke him and said to the owner, 'Oh, he is very nice'.
'She' -- the woman sent me very scolding look. 'SHE. It is my little girl!'
'I am sorry. She.' I repeated and saw that "She" was eating the torn paper lying on the pavement.
'And what is HER name?', that was the question I always wanted to ask that woman.
She smiled, stop smiling, and after a moment of silence answered, 'Pearl'.
The manner she said that showed a little anxiety. Hey, you cannot see that it is She not he, and even you cannot guess that Her name is Pearl. It is obvious that She looks like a pearl, doesn't she?!!!
And at once she took her dog on her arms like a small child and went away...
