By the time Bill arrived in a little town．every hotel room had been taken．“You have to give me a room somewhere，”he said to the manager at the hotel，“or just a bed—I don’t care where．”

“Well，I do have a double room with one guest，”answered the manager，“but to  tell you the truth，he snores（打鼾）so loudly that people in the next room have complained．I’m not sure if you would like to live with him．”

“No problem．”Bill said to him．“I’ll take it．”

The next morning，Bill came down to breakfast happily．

“HOW did you sleep?”asked the manager．

“Very well。”answered Bill．

The manager was surprised．“Didn’t that guest snore last night?”

“No，I made him stop snoring at once，”said Bill．

“How did you do that?”asked the manager．“Did you give him some medicine to stop the snoring?”

“No，I didn’t．But here is what I did．He was lying in bed when I went into the room。”Bill explained，“I went over，gave him a kiss on the face，and said，‘Good night，my dear，’and he sat up all night watching me．”

Droughts (干旱)are common in Kenya . Before ,they came every 10 years ,but now they seem to be hitting us more often and for a longer time .
We gave the droughts names :“longoza”was the drought when many animals died ; there was the drought of the “planes” because food was dropped from the air by planes; and one particularly bad drought was called “ man who dies with his money in his fist (拳头)”，because ,even if there was money , there was simply no food to buy .
I was born in 1951 in Machakos. From what my mother tells me , when I was 7, there was a serious drought . I clearly remember the terrible weather and the hunger. I can’t tell you how many times I went to bed without eating . “ I slept like that ,” is how we described it . I can’t count the number of days when “ I slept like that,” or describe the feeling of going to sleep hungry ,knowing I’d wake up and there would still be no food for breakfast.
My father would leave early in the morning carrying a little basket to ask for food on credit (赊欠). Each night he would return home around 10:00p.m. My mother would try to encourage me by telling me to keep the water in our pot boiling so that when my father arrived we could quickly cook any food he brought in the already prepared water . I would keep the fire burning and the water boiling , along with the hopes that we would eat that night. But my father would arrive frustrated and empty -handed. And I would sleep like that.
