FICTIONAL STORY ABOUT FAMINE AND MALNUTRITION






       On the third week of August 2012, it was the worst summer in Somalia. It was very hot season. There was a family, named King Kong Family. The King Kong’s Family consists of 4 members.

       The father’s name is Buddy and the mother’s name is Shasta. They have 2 children, names Johnny and Emily.
Buddy works as a wood seller. Everyday, he looks for woods in the forest. If there is no wood, King Kong family will not eat because they don’t have any money. Emily’s mom is a housewife. Everyday, she cleans her house with Emily. Emily and Johnny was a student who studying in 6th Grade. They want to continue their education to 7th Grade, but their parents don’t have any money to pay.

       One day there is a terrible summer in that country. All of the crops in that country died because of the heat. King Kong family and the other family don’t have food to eat. Buddy went to the forest to find woods everyday. He will sell the wood to other sellers and he will get the money. The more days they spend, the poorer they get, so Buddy and Emily decided to stop schooling their children. One day, they went to the forest together. They were hunting in the forest. They found 4 fishes there, so each one of them get 1 fish. All of their stomachs were full of food, but they started to starve again next week. Emily and Johnny are so thin because they didn’t eat anything for 1 week. One day, there was a rich man who was the richest man in Somalia, names Justin. Justin felt so pity for King Kong family, especially with Johnny and Emily because there were so thin. But, Justin didn’t want to give them anything. They were so disappointed with that rich man.
      
       On Tuesday, Buddy died because of the starvation. Johnny, Emily, and their mom were so sad when they realized that Buddy was dead. On Wednesday, they were looked for wood, suddenly they saw gold in the dirt. They were so happy about it. They bought a new house to live. They were so rich, but along with their richness they become lazy and it’s become a habit that they didn’t do anything for their life. Suddenly, something bad happened on the next week. There was stranger who came in to their house and stole all of the gold. They didn’t have anything left in their house. All of it was stolen by the robbery. They sold their house to buy foods. 2 weeks later, they spent all of the money for buy foods. They slept besides the road for 3 weeks. Every night they can’t sleep because of noisy sound on the road, such as cars, motorcycle, road workers, etc. Finally, they died because of starvation.
      
       We can help them by giving foods or something that they need. We can donate our bloods for someone who was sick and we can pray for them, so they can survive with no food and money. We can send some of our money, usually there is a program that we can send some of our money, and then they will send the money to the other person who needed. We can find the advertisements of the program besides the road or on television
