person A: One morning my mother came to my house to pick my daughter up for school and told me she saw my daughter's cat on the road and he had been hit. I had to tell my daughter about the loss of her beloved pet.
person B: Oh no that is terrible!  How did your daughter take it?
person A: She was around 11_comma_ so she took it very hard. I went ahead and let her stay home from school_comma_ as I knew she wouldn't do well that day.
person B: Oh poor thing.  I hope she is doing better now.  Losing a pet is extremely hard!
