Story 7/17/2014
Danny was a student studying abroad aboard. The allowance he received from his parents wasn't much, therefore he was on a shoestring budget. He had sardines fish for every meal.
One day, Danny jumped for joy, his friend's mother invited him to had dinner together with her family.
"Finally, I don't need to had have sardines for dinner for once." Whenever Danny thought of this, he grinned from ear to ear.
He was as happy as Larry when he reached the door step in front of his friend's house. The aroma of food smell slipped through the gap under the door. Sweet smells lingered in the air when he entered into the hallway of the house. The long-awaited dinner appointment was had finally came!
Please guess what had happened next.
When he came to the dining room, he felt down in the dumps. All the dishes served on the dining table were sardines fish cooked in various ways.
The mother of his friend thought that Danny has a carving on sardine! (Maybe you meant choking?)
Carving means to cut, usually meat at the table or wood by a craftsman.
**I feel the last sentence (I used the word "carving") is weird in this context, could someone please help.

You meant 'craving for' not 'carving to'.
Sardine can be used in the singular, when you mean exactly one fish, but usually it is used in the plural, like if you have half a fish or two fish, or any unspecific amount of it.
The doorstep at the front of anyone's house is just called 'the front doorstep'.
Lastly, 'dinner appointment' sounds a bit too formal, so it is 'dinner' or perhaps 'a dinner party'
Other than that, very good indeed and funny too.
I think you meant "craving".

**I feel the last sentence (I used the word "carving") is weird in this context, could someone please help. I think you intended to use the word craving instead of carving? Though this would be gramatically correct it does sound a bit unusual in this context. Maybe it would better to say "His friend's mother thought that sardines were Danny's favourite food!" or "His friend's mother thought that Danny really wanted to eat sardines!" Hope this helps :)
