Grocery Shopping
Martin went shopping this morning. He is vegan, so he always buys lots of vegetables. Normally, he buys vegetables at the small local market, but it’s closed today, so he went to the large supermarket instead. The supermarket isn’t as cheap as the local market, but Martin found almost everything on his list. He bought onions, garlic, tomatoes and an aubergine for a pasta sauce, and a cucumber and some radishes for a side salad.
On Friday, he has invited some friends for dinner at his house and wants to make a vegan curry. For the recipe he needs broccoli, but he couldn’t find it at the supermarket, so he bought a cauliflower instead.
At the checkout, Martin asked for a paper bag because they are more eco-friendly. A short while late, Martin discovered that paper bags are not as strong as plastic.
On the way home, the paper bag ripped and all the vegetables fell on the floor.
Some birds saw their chance and appeared immediately. They took a carrot, a pepper and some green beans … and just flew away!
