Okay, I’m gonna talk about an impressing experiment I had with food. I’m gonna talk about the time when I forgot to take my school lunch to school when I 13 years old. So I was in secondary school, and I normally I would take some sandwiches and a piece of fruit to eat and drink, of course, to eat and duringink at lunchime. But this day, I must have been in a rush to get out of my house or something, and I just left without getting anything. Not even a, uh, drink. No sandwiches, no fruit, no drink, nothing. I didn’t realize until lunchime. And I opened my back, and I was like, where’s my food? I panick and checked my pockets to see if I had any money. And I didn’t have anything. I didn’t have a penny on me. So no food, no money. And I was like, oh, God, what? What am I gon to do? I almost cried, but I helded back the tears. So what I did, I asked my friend if he could lend me some money so I could buy something, uh, at the stock shop. And that’s what he did. He gave me a few pounds, and that was enough for me to buy. What did I have? I didn’t go to the tuckop shop. I went to cating. Yeah. I went to canteen and bought, uh. I think I had a burger and chips that day. Yeah, I had a burger and chips. How I felt, uh, well, obviously I felt ambrush, because I have to ask my friend for money. But I also felt happy because my friend could help me out in the situation. So ambrushing, but at the same time happy.
