The Bento and Chopsticks in the Park

When I was a child, I often went to a park near the sea with my mother.
I liked eating lunch outside.
That day, my mother took out the bento at the bench.
But, there were no chopsticks.
My mother said, “Ah, I forgot them, didn’t I.”
We went to a nearby supermarket to buy chopsticks.
