39、old,my parents,sister,brother,and I were coming back from a picnic.That was our usual weekend adventure,but unlike every other weekend,a surprise was waiting for us in our driveway.There,we saw two adult geese(鹅鹅)and a young goose.The adults were surprised by our return and flew away,but their baby
40、was still too young to fly and couldnt follow.We are no strangers to the ways of wildlife,so we knew to avoid physical contact with the young goose out of fear that it would stay with us and be lost to its family forever.Hours passed,and night fell.With it came the coldness.The tiny little thing was
41、 walking around our yard and it was clear that the goose needed protection and warmth.At that point,we knew we had to help,and we brought him into our back porch(门廊门廊).We all pretty much slept with one eye open till morning came.And then another morning.And still another.Each morning,we would try to
42、 shoo(赶赶)the goose to his parents,who kept coming back to our yard.He wouldnt go to them,though,and they wouldnt come close enough to take him.We kept this up for five days,but no luck.By then,the young goose had clearly decided we were his new family,so we had to give him a name.My sister Joanna ca
43、lled him Peeper,because he would follow us around the yard making a peeping noise,nonstop.We also decided that Peeper was a boy.I dont know why;it just felt right.Days turned into weeks,and weeks turned into months until almost a year passed.Peeper slept in our back porch each night.My dad would cle

47、rs passed,and Peeper became a happy memory for my family.It came as a total shock to me when,in 2019,an aging adult goose made his way back to my family home.At first,I thought it was just another goose.And yet,something about him seemed strangely familiar to me.The goose came back repeatedly.He did all of the same things Peeper used to,like trying to come in through the front door and sleeping in our back porch.Besides,this goose also responded to the name Peeper.Much to my surprise,my old best friend had returned,twenty years later.Finish your introduction about someone you admire.
