問題詳情:
It was a cold night in washington, D.C. and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I'd read the signs: “Don't give money to baggers.” So I shook my head and kept helplessness,he said,”I really am homeless and I really am hungry!You can come with me and watch me eat!” But still I kept on walking.
The incident bothered me for the rest of the week. In fact ,I had money in my pocket and it wouldn’t have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying. On a freezind cold night, I still wondered what would happen to a hungry man.
Flying back to my hometown,Anchorage, I couldn't help thinking of him. I tried to seek excuses for failure to help. After all, government agencies, churches,and charities were there to feed him. Besides,you're not supposed to give money to beggars.
But I Just couldn't forget the incident and began to think I must do something ,At that time, I was writing a garden column(專欄)for the local Daily enly ,I came up with an idea. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens devoted to Bean's Cafe,the soup kitchen which has volunteered to feed hundreds of hungry people every day for many years?
Before long my idea took off. People would fax me or call when they took something was sent by different warm-hearted people and even those who only grew flowers donated them for the spirit,which comforted me a lot.
As more and more people started working with the “Plant a Row ”concept, many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo, which also arose in national gardening publications. Row markers with the Plant a Row logo were distributed to gardeners to set apart their “Row for the Hungry” .
It is unexpected that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger. If every gardener in America —and we're seventy million strong —plants one row for the hungry, we can lower the number of neighbors who don’t have enough to eat. Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man I could have helped.
