Necesito una lectura en ingles con past perfect?

Colin Bartlett was lonely.

He couldn´t find a girlfriend and he didn´t

know very many people in his neighborhood.

He decided that life would be more

fun if he had a pet, so one day he walked to the pet store.

When

he got there, he asked the pet store owner to show him some pets.

First, the

owner offered him cute little puppies and kittens, but Coilin didn´t want them.

Then

he showed him a variety of different exotic animals and birds, like iguanas and

parrots.

After that, he brought out the snakes, but Colin didn´t want them

either.

He

thought that it would be more interesting to have an unusual pet.

The

pet store owner scratched his head.

Finally,

he said.

´´Well I have a centipide.

Colin

liked the idea very much and bough the cetipide which came in a little white

box.
