Ang Paborito Kong Fried Chicken

Nakagisingan ko ang amoy ng niluluto ni Nanay. Kaya kaagad akong bumangon.

"Nak gising ka na pala. Maupo ka na at kumain."

"Hmm, ang sarap po ng fried chicken, Inay. Kayo po Inay hindi po ba kayo kakain?"

"Kumain na ako 'nak." Sagot ni Nanay habang umiinom ng maraming tubig.
