English

Egg Dinner

Around 3 o’clock, I went shopping with my younger brother.
Because it is my younger brother’s birthday, I plan to make delicious food tonight.
But, the meat shop we always go to was closed.
Because we couldn’t buy meat, it was very disappointing.
My younger brother said, “It’s okay. Let’s make an egg dish, shall we.”
We returned home and made dinner with eggs and vegetables.
