A whole 40 hours!

Guess what I found out yesterday? I found out that this weekend is the World Vision 40 hour famine. I didn’t really know what that was all about so I asked Mummy and Mummy said that it was where people didn’t eat any food for a whole 40 hours to raise funds and awareness for children living in poverty.

I expect that some of the funds will go to the owls living in poverty too. Especially the hungry ones. I know what it’s like to be starving. I once had to go without breakfast because Mummy forgot to feed me. It was so very terrible.

Mummy said that not everyone gives up food though.Some people give up other things. I have a special friend called Evie and she is giving up furniture. FOR A WHOLE 40 HOURS.

That’s just plain crazy.

No chairs. No tables. She will have to eat her meals on the floor. And what about bedtime? Where will she sleep? Oh dreadfully dreadful aubergines!

I cannot believe she is doing this. It is so desperately insane. But very noble too. Evie is raising funds for the poor owls all over the whole wide world. What a lovely thing to do.

I asked mummy if I could do the 40 hour famine but I told her I didn’t really want to give up my bed and I asked her if there was anything else I could do. She smiled at me and said I could give up chocolate mice for 40 hours.

That is just plain mean. Naughty Mummy! What a horrible thing to say. I just couldn’t do it. No way. not for all the starving aubergines in the world.

Maybe I could give up spinach instead.
