The day I ate meat

Loan, a Vietnamese girl was giving cookies to other girls in class. I thought it was a fortune cookie, so I asked her to give me one. I got one but it was not a fortune cookie.

I ate that cookie. It smelled unfamiliar, so I asked her

“How did you make it?”

“With meat” she said.

The unfamiliar taste made sense new having learn that I had eaten meat.

I felt nauseated, because, I have never eaten meat. I ran to the rest room and vomited.

Later I came to the classroom. An, another Vietnamese girl realized what had happened.

She said, “The cookie was vegetarian food”

I asked “How come meat can be vegetarian food?”

She said, “The cookie was made with jack fruit”

She said, “Meat (Mít) means jack fruit in Vietnamese.”

Just like you asked me. I corrected it. Although some of the sentences you put together are oddly phrased. Cheers!
