Ryu got up late in the morning. He set the alarm clock at 8：00 a. m. the night before because he had a job interview at a company today. But the alarm clock didn't ring. How strange!

Then Ryu sat at the kitchen table where his breakfast usually was, but it wasn't there. Instead, he found a note(便条) left by his sister, “I am really busy today. Make breakfast yourself.” So Ryu had a quick breakfast of bread and milk. Then he rode his bicycle to the company for the interview.
