I was lying in bed yesterday afternoon after a big dinner. There was nothing interesting on television. The book I was trying to read seemed boring too. Finally I put the book down, closed my eyes, and let myself take a nap（小睡）.
Suddenly, I felt a big, wet tongue（舌头）lick（舔）my face. My eyes opened and I saw our dog Fluffy standing there looking at me. I smiled and touched his head. After a moment, I got up and we went outside. The sun was breaking through the clouds and warmed the cool air a bit. I laughed as I ran with him around the backyard.
He sniffed（嗅）the grass and took in the daily dog news with his nose when the wind blew lightly. After we went back inside, we played in the hallway. I threw a ball for him, and he brought it back to me. Then he jumped up on my bed and decided to take a nap of his own. It seemed like even while he was asleep, our pet dog never found life boring.
I think we all could learn a lot from Fluffy. In life, there is time for napping and time for playing. There is time for reading and time for doing. There is time for giving, laughing, and sharing. There is time to sing, to smile, to hug, and to dance. There is time to walk your dog and smell the flowers in the breeze（微风）. But there is never time to be bored. We only get a certain amount of time to live. Don’t waste a second of it on boredom（无聊）.
