    Busy as she was, Lucy went to bed early. But little did she eat this evening. So hungry was she that she kept tossing and turning in bed. Not only did she find it hard to fall asleep, but also she felt her stomach hurt. Suddenly she came up with an idea. “Were I full, I would have a good sleep easily.” Then she got up and went to the kitchen. There was a cabbage, some hams and some eggs in the fridge.

No sooner had she taken out what she needed than she realized she had no idea how to deal with the food. In fact, seldom had she cooked for herself before. “Had I learned cooking from my mother, I would have become a good cook.” She sighed and continued her job. However, hardly had she tried to turn on one of the two taps above the sink when she noticed it didn’t work. Neither could another tap.

Only with the help of the spanner did water come out of the tap at last. But it was unlucky for her to cut her finger while cutting hams. Out ran Lucy at once. With a bandage wrapping her wounded finger, she finished cooking a delicious meal at last. From the kitchen came a good smell.  Being at table, she got down to enjoying her food. Unfortunately, not until she tasted her food did she find she forgot to add some salt to it. “Must I fall asleep while being hungry?” said Lucy.
