When I walk home from work everyday, I always pass my favorite grocer; Maetjo Mart. I't s a little korean grocer that sells the best sake in the world, they make it themselves, but it's also where I buy most of my food. They have a chicken coop out back, and a cow too. They're pleasant people, the owners. Even if I don't understand anythin they say, they still throw free stuff at me they can, because I used to work part-time here during highschool, and fulltime all the way through college. Today, the little old lady invited me in, which was routine. She had a whole buffet set out for me, and I hugged her with a smile. Hey, who was I to turn down free food?
As I sat down, I noticed an odd new decoration on one of the shelves behind the counter. I pointed to it, and the lady smiled and brought it to me. It seemed to be an egg, wrapped in a rose. I took it carefully from her and examined it. It was...glorious. The shell glittered and the rose was exquisite. I pulled out my wallet and wrote her a check for 2000g, and offered it to her. She accepted with a smile, and motioned at me to eat.
Once I finished eating the delicious meal my surrogate mother had prepared, I went along my way to my apartment, and collapsed on the bed(after putting the egg on the kitchen counter) and dozed off.
