"A Perfect Sandwich for Lunch"

John loves making sandwiches for lunch because they are quick, easy, and delicious. Today, he decided to make his favorite sandwich. He took two slices of whole-grain bread and toasted them lightly. Then, he spread some butter on one side of each slice.

Next, John added some fresh lettuce and sliced tomatoes. He opened the fridge and found a slice of ham and a slice of cheddar cheese, which he placed on top of the vegetables. To add extra flavor, he spread a little mayonnaise and mustard on the inside of the sandwich.

Once everything was ready, John carefully put the two slices of bread together and cut the sandwich in half. He sat down to enjoy his lunch with a glass of orange juice, feeling satisfied that he had made the perfect sandwich for a quick and tasty meal.
