The Dining Hall Menu

Last month, I went to the university dining hall with Maria.
The kanji on the menu was very small.
Because I didn’t have my glasses, I looked at the menu for a long time, but I didn’t understand it well.
My eyes also got a little tired.
Maria said, “Shall I read it?”
And then, Maria read all the kanji skillfully.
