Translation

When I was a student, my mother made me a bento box every day. Opening the bento box was the thing I looked forward to most. It was filled with things I liked, such as rolled omelet and fried chicken. Now that I am an adult, I make my own bento. But, I cannot beat the taste of the bento my mother used to make. Someday, I want to cook for someone else, too.
