七時のべんとう

When she opens the curtain in her room, it is already bright outside.

Aya washes her face and drinks warm tea.

In the kitchen, her mother is taking out eggs and vegetables.

Because she will go to the library after class today, Aya makes a small bento.

She fries the egg in a frying pan, and then boils broccoli.

Her mother says, 'Let's put rice in too,' and places warm rice next to Aya.

Aya puts rice and side dishes into a red box and closes the lid.

At that time, her younger brother Ken comes into the kitchen with a sleepy look on his face.

Ken asks, 'Are you going to school by bus again today?'

Aya answers, 'Today I'll walk to the station, and from there I'll get on the train.'

On a morning without rain, the road is quiet, and the sky is blue too.

As she leaves home, Aya puts the notebook and pen from her desk into her bag.

Her mother asks at the entrance, “Have you got everything?”

Aya thinks for a moment and then smiles, 'I'm okay. I have everything with me today.'

And then Aya leaves the house energetically, carrying her warm bento.
