Use the text below to answer the question. We often use onomatopoeia to describe the sounds animals make, like woof, meow, moo, oink or buzz. Because those words are imitating, or trying to copy, the sounds themselves. They're onomatopoeia!

Did you know that the words for animal sounds are different in different languages? For example, in English a dog says "woof" or "bow wow." But in Spanish dogs say "gua gua!" In German, they say "wau wau." In Russian, they say "gav gav," and in Korean they say "moeng moeng." All of these are onomatopoeia. The sounds are just heard by different ears!

Read the passage below.

Alejandro hurried down the street on the stormy night. He couldn't wait to get home where it was warm and dry. As he passed the alley next to the bodega, something made him pause. He stopped and listened. A pile of cardboard boxes was definitely meowing. Alejandro picked his way over to the pile and started to lift the boxes away. Underneath he found a tiny orange kitten complaining loudly about the rain. Alejandro made a decision. He wrapped the kitten in his sweatshirt and kept walking home. He decided to call his new pet Cheez-It.
