Pippin and Poppy were the best of friends, living together in a comfortable cage in a cozy house. They loved their little home and each other's company.

Their young owner, Billy, loved to watch them play. He enjoyed their squeaks and was always eager to pet them. But he needed to learn they were not toys.

Billy's parents explained that guinea pigs need food and water, and also a quiet place to rest. Billy listened carefully and nodded, looking at Pippin and Poppy.

They also told him that only adults should cut the guinea pigs' nails. Billy understood and promised to take good care of his pets.

Billy began to treat Pippin and Poppy gently, providing them with fresh food and water. He understood they were not toys, but friends who needed care.

Billy also learned to give them space when they wanted to rest. He even made a little house inside the cage where they could hide and relax.

In return, Pippin and Poppy became even friendlier. They would come out of their little house when Billy was around, squeaking happily.

Billy was delighted. He loved his pets even more now. He understood that taking care of them was not just about playing, but about love and responsibility.

Billy found joy in caring for Pippin and Poppy. They were his pets, his friends, and they shared a secret world together.

The three of them had a wonderful time together, full of love, respect, and responsibility. And thus, Billy learned the true joy of having pets.
