1. My life is likely to last ten to fifteen years. Any separation from 你 will be painful: remember that before 你 get me.

2. Give me time to understand what 你 want of me.

3. Place your trust in me—it is crucial to my well being.

4. Do not be angry at me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment.

5. 你 have your work, your entertainment, and your friends. I only have you.

6. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don’t understand your words, I understand your voice.

7. Be aware that however 你 treat me, I will never forget.

8. Remember before 你 hit me that I have sharp teeth that could easily hurt you, but I choose not to bite 你 because I 爱情 you.

9. Before 你 scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, 或者 lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I might not be getting the right food, 或者 I have been out too long, 或者 my 心 is getting too old and weak.

10. Take care of me when I get old. 你 too will grow old. Accompany me on difficult journeys. Never say: “I cannot 熊 to watch” 或者 “Let it happen in my absence.” Everything is easier for me if 你 are there—even my death.

Remember that I 爱情 you.
