He removed the lid from the frying pan and, taking aВ wooden spatula, stirred the dumplings, after which he closed the frying pan with aВ lid.

– He might give up this whole writing thing. I don’t like to write. I have to admit to myself that it doesn’t give me any pleasure to write, especially when you have to write a lot, and you have no idea what to write about or how to fill the pages. – Peter thought, returning to the table.

He clamped his fingers around the coffee mug and stared into it.

My sister came into the kitchen.

– Will the dumplings be ready soon?

– In about five minutes.

– Okay, I’ll be on the computer, bring them to me when they’re ready.

– Don’t you need to do your homework?

– It’s necessary, but I’ll do them later.

– Come on, don’t sit for long, I also need a computer.

– Okay, but most importantly, bring me the dumplings.

– Okay, okay.

When the dumplings were ready, Peter turned off the gas under the frying pan, put the dumplings on aВ plate and, putting the fork there, took everything into the room. He placed the plate on the table inВ front ofВ the keyboard.

– Bring some ketchup. – said Christina, taking a fork and pricking one dumpling on it.

Peter went back toВ the kitchen, took ketchup out ofВ the refrigerator, and took it toВ his sister. She squeezed ketchup into the dumplings and returned it toВ Peter.

There was nothing toВ do. All that was left was toВ watch TV. But it was uncomfortable toВ sit inВ the kitchen, my back quickly got tired, and the coffee had already left an unpleasant taste inВ my mouth.

Taking aВ mug ofВ coffee, Peter poured the rest into the sink and, after rinsing it, put aВ tea bag there. The kettle was still hot, but not hot enough for the tea toВ brew. Peter turned on the electric kettle and stood next toВ it, waiting for the water toВ boil inВ it.

When the water inВ the kettle boiled, Peter took it and poured water into the mug inВ which the tea bag lay. The water turned dark brown. Taking aВ teaspoon, Peter crushed the tea bag, which made the water even darker. Having brewed tea, he took the bag out ofВ the mug and threw it into the trash can. Then he put three spoons ofВ sugar into the mug and mixed everything thoroughly.
