Last Saturday, my cousin and I planned to go cycling by the river. Unfortunately, it started raining while we were having breakfast. We decided to stay at home and cook lunch together instead. We made vegetable soup and some bread. The bread looked strange, but it tasted good. In the end, I was happy that our plans had changed because we learned something new.
