You go to buy a new hamster, this is ridiculous.

It’s pretty obvious Sarah just needs a new hamster you decided. You empty out your piggy bank and there’s just enough nickels and dimes for a hamster. You load up a crown royal bag with your cash and drive to the nearest pet shop. Lee-roy’s Tails and Sales because of their unbeatable service, friendly staff, and wide selection of exotic pets, so the ads would have you believe.

“What can a help you with, you looking for a nice pet? You look like you could use a nice parakeet, those are on sale,” you were greeted by an old man at the counter.

“I need a hamster, best you’ve got, it’s for a friend.”

“Oh, a hamster, eh? You sure you don’t want a nice parakeet? They’re cracker jack pets, you can even let them fly around.”

“No thanks, not interested in parakeets.”

“They’re on BOGO, that means it’s buy one get one,” he persisted. Obviously, the man was trying to get rid of a surplus of parakeets.

“No, I just want a hamster!” you said forcefully.

“Okay, okay, just trying to help you save. The hamsters are over there, let me know if you need any help.”

You walk over to the hamster area, there’s one massive cage complete with a wheel and some other miniature playground equipment, there are only three to choose from. There were two normal shaped hamsters. One was hiding in a corner like any generic hamster and the other came right up to the glass of the cage to say hello. Finally, the third one was stuck in some of the playground equipment. It was big, round and absolutely the spitting image of Dini.

Which hamster will you pick?
