"I have something important to say," (Strong, p.2, 22)
The story is that Macdonald's family has some news. As the father gave one of them, the twins started to argue. One day, a hamster they had generated noise at night and gave birth. This news made the family surprised and happy. Also, it made Mouse, one of the twins, change his mind to give place to another twin. The sentence above is used twice when one of the family members tell news.
What I found interesting is that the author implied that the hamster would give birth soon before she did. To paraphrase, "you are getting very fat, young man," "I think you should go on a diet." (Strong, p.10) The mother didn't know the hamster was an female at that time. That's why she also didn't know the pet was pregnant. It was interesting.
