The Small Fork

On Thursday evening, I sat on a bench in the park.
I wanted to eat my bento, but I left my fork at the office.
I asked the person next to me, “Excuse me, do you have a fork?”
The person said, “Yes, I have one, but it’s small.”
The person gave me a very small fork.
Because it was a small fork, eating was a little difficult, but I was very happy.
