I was absolutely shocked when my hamster, Fluffy, escaped from his cage one day. We couldn't find him anywhere. Then, two days later, I was getting cereal for breakfast and a noise from the box startled me. I peeked inside, and there was Fluffy, sleeping on a pile of Cheerios! I was completely dumbfounded. It still amazes me how he got in there.

Я был абсолютно шокирован, когда мой хомяк, Пушистик, однажды сбежал из своей клетки. Мы нигде не могли его найти. Затем, два дня спустя, я доставал хлопья на завтрак, и шум из коробки напугал (startled) меня. Я заглянул внутрь, а там спал Пушистик на куче хлопьев! Я был совершенно ошарашен (dumbfounded). Меня до сих пор поражает (amazes), как он туда забрался.
