He is Hungry
Mark had just woken up from his afternoon nap, feeling a rumbling in his stomach. He knew what that meant: he was hungry. Mark got up from his bed and went to the kitchen to look for something to eat. Unfortunately, the fridge was nearly empty, with only a few items left.
Mark searched the fridge and found some eggs, bread, and cheese. He decided to make himself a quick sandwich. He toasted the bread, fried the eggs, and added some cheese to it. The sandwich smelled delicious, and his stomach grumbled even louder.
Finally, the sandwich was ready, and Mark took a big bite. He savored the delicious taste of the melted cheese and eggs, feeling satisfied. After finishing the sandwich, Mark went to the fridge again, hoping to find something to drink. He found a carton of orange juice and poured himself a glass.
Mark felt much better now that he had eaten something. He didn’t want to feel hungry again, so he made a mental note to go grocery shopping soon. But for now, he was content with his sandwich and orange juice.
