I was so surprised when she showed up at my door later. I was arranging my new apartment. She had a bag of onions. She told me that they are very healthy, so I gave her some money for the onions. Then she went home, and I continued cleaning and unpacking. Later that day, or the next day, I don't remember, she knocked on my door again. She had made a special dish from her hometown and brought me a little bowl full. I thanked her, and she seemed very happy that she could do something for me.
