　　The news report that night was a famine(饥饿)in Ethiopia. The pictures were of people who were so thin that they looked like beings from another planet. The camera focused（聚焦）on one man so that he looked directly at me, sitting in my comfortable living room. All around was the sound of death.

　　It was clear that the world had not noticed this until now, you could hear the sadness in the voice of the reporter, Michael Buerk. At the end of the reporter he was silent. Paula started crying, then rushed upstairs to check our baby, Fifi, who was sleeping peacefully.

　　I kept seeing the news pictures in my mind. What could I do? I was only a pop singe rand by now not a very successful pop singer. All I could do was to make records which no one bought. But I would do that, I would give all the profits of the next Rats (the name of the music group he was in) record to Oxfam(an organization in Britain which helps poor music people around the world). 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.
