The news report that night was about a famine(饑荒)in Ethiopia. The pictures were of people who were so thin that they looked like beings from another planet.

What good would that do? It would only be a little money but it was more than I could give just from my bank account. Maybe some people would buy it because the profits were for Oxfam. And I would be protesting about this disaster (災(zāi)難). But that was not enough.
