Hello, I am Mert.

I am 27 years old.

I live alone in Istanbul.

I work from home.

Today is Tuesday.

It is eleven o’clock in the morning.

I am at my desk.

I have a lot of work today.

I have two meetings in the afternoon.

But now I have a problem.

I am hungry.

I am very hungry.

My stomach makes noises.

“Oh, I need some food,” I say.

I think about breakfast.

Then I remember.

I did not have breakfast today.

The last time I ate was last night.

I ate dinner at about eight o’clock.

That was a long time ago.

I get up from my desk.

I go to the kitchen.

First, I open the cupboard.

I look inside.

There is some pasta.

There is some rice.

There is also a packet of biscuits.

But I do not want them.

I want something fresh.

Then I open the fridge.

I look inside.

There is some milk.

There are two tomatoes.

There is a little cheese.

There is also some yogurt.

“Hmm… not much,” I say.

There are no eggs.

There is no bread.

I do not want to cook.

I close the fridge.

“What can I eat?” I think.

Then I have an idea.

There is a small bakery near my apartment.

It is only five minutes away.

They have sandwiches, cakes, bread, and coffee.

“A sandwich sounds good,” I say.

I put on my shoes.

I take my wallet, phone, and keys.

Then I go outside.

The weather is nice.

The sun is shining.

I walk to the bakery.

A few minutes later, I am there.

It smells very good inside.

I see fresh bread and sandwiches.

The woman behind the counter smiles.

“Hello,” she says.

“Hello,” I say.

“Can I have a cheese and tomato sandwich, please?”

“Of course.”

“And a coffee, please.”

“To have here or to go?”

“To go, please.”

I pay for my food.

Then I go home.

I sit at the kitchen table.

I take a bite of my sandwich.

It is fresh and delicious.

I drink some coffee too.

“Much better,” I say.

Now I am not hungry.

I feel good again.

I look at the time.

It is almost twelve.

Now it is time to go back to work.
