Chapter 115

~8 min read 1,403 words

"Henry, can you take me to the library?" Ms. Hepburn in the house opened the window and shouted at Henry, who was still tidying up in the flowerbed.

"Okay, I'll clean up and come." Kicking the dog that was still having fun on the side, Henry brushed off the dust on his body and walked into the house.

Just say how much of the dust on his body was raised by this Jack Russell Terrier... um, okay, there are five, so Henry might have kicked the wrong one. But he didn't care at all, sooner or later let these five dogs rearrange the order of the family.

Just walked to the door, happened to see Robert open the door and walk out. He was wearing light sportswear, and he was shaking a dog leash in his hand.

Seeing the dog leash, the Jack Russell Terriers were more excited than anyone else. All five dogs ran to Robert's feet, circling and smelling, wishing they could break their tails.

Henry saw this and asked: "Robert, are you going out for a jog? I'm going to take the boss to town, do you want me to bring anything back for you?"

"No need," Robert patted his slightly bulging belly and complained: "Every time the kitchen is cooked by you, it will cause me to eat excessive food. If I don't exercise more, I'm afraid I'll be too fat to get out of bed one day."

"But every time you come back from exercise, you always say you're hungry, and then eat an extra bowl of rice. Do you think the reason you'll be fat is actually because of exercise?" Henry said jokingly.

"Ah, you kid. The murderer is clearly you, and you want to push the crime onto others," Robert protested while tying the dog leash.

Once the dog leash was tied, he not only patted his cheeks, cheering up his spirit; even the dogs ran to the front, pulling the dog leash tightly. Five dogs pulled together, Robert had to run if he didn't want to.

Robert turned back and said: "I'll be back before dinner, remember to make something delicious." After saying that, he ran.

Behind, Henry shouted: "Buddy, you really can't blame me for this fat."

This cheerful and optimistic old actor raised a high middle finger behind his back and ran away without looking back.

Ms. Audrey Hepburn, who was just ready to go out, met Henry at the entrance. He looked at the person running away outside and asked: "Robert went out for exercise?"

"Yes, boss. Please wait for me, I'll get the key, tidy up things, and drive over."

"Don't rush, be careful."

"Alright." Henry went up to the attic, his room, and put several stacks of books in a paper bag. This was borrowed from the town library using the lady's library card.

They are all French books, German books, the content is different from the English books I read in Los Angeles, and it is also quite inspiring to Henry. It's just that the small town library's collection is biased toward literary types, and the benefit is that there are books from various countries, using their respective languages and characters.

Putting a paper bag of books directly on the passenger seat of the vehicle, Henry drove the car to the front door and got off to help move the books in Ms. Hepburn's hands.

Said moving, actually only a few books, completely disproportionate to Henry's reading volume. So seeing the paper bag of books ready to be returned on the passenger seat, Audrey Hepburn exclaimed: "You finished reading these books. The action is really fast."

Opening the back door, carefully blocking his hand on the upper edge of the car door. Henry said with a smile: "My reading speed is fast. And these books are not literary masterpieces, just treat them as storybooks."

"You are too rude to the author," Hepburn said educationally.

"I know. If I have a chance to see them in person, I will definitely apologize sincerely," Henry said seemingly humbly, but actually perfunctorily. Honestly, this is a habit of reading web novels.

Audrey Hepburn also seemed to grasp Henry's lazy personality, just complained: "You child." Then she didn't say anything else. Because he remembered another thing, and asked: "Did the UN contact us?"

Henry, who was driving, replied: "The people from the Children's Fund have started activity planning. It's just that the civil wars in various parts of Africa have been fierce this year, and many places have to have peacekeeping forces follow if they want to go.

"Although South America and Asia are much safer, there are quite a few locations we have just visited. Going there again in the short term will not have a good benefit. So they are not easy to arrange the itinerary."

"Do you plan to go anywhere? There should be a general idea, right."

"Maybe there really isn't, so they said they also want to ask for your opinion, ma'am."

"Ask for my opinion?" Audrey Hepburn was slightly surprised.

Taking advantage of the temporary parking time, Henry took a stack of materials from the briefcase on the passenger seat and handed it to Ms. Hepburn in the back seat. Said: "Actually, I originally wanted to report to you at afternoon tea time. But since you asked now, I'll just say it by the way.

"This material was organized by me last night, about your footprints in the United Nations Children's Fund activities since 1988. And the aid behavior of the Children's Fund in the last ten years.

"Starting from the third page is the stability situation of various countries, which is a judgment made roughly from the materials provided by the United Nations and news messages from newspapers and magazines.

"There are also the needs of various countries for the aid of human rights organizations, simply put, the poverty status of the country. Finally, whether they have submitted invitations to the United Nations."

The content Henry said, in addition to the explanation in text, he also hand-painted maps of Africa, South Asia, Central America, and South America, including most of the poor countries in the world.

And used colored pencils to make marks of different degrees for different countries, making people clear at a glance.

The skill of this presentation, naturally, was exercised in the previous life. The prototype of the PowerPoint software was born in 1987 and was acquired by Microsoft in 1990. But this is not the extent of the rotten street in ten or twenty years, the users are relatively few, and the functions are slightly insufficient.

So Henry simply used hand-drawing to make it into the layout he wanted. Anyway, at his current speed, drawing it is faster than typesetting with a computer and then trying to output it as a paper document.

Ms. Hepburn is also used to the content of Henry's report, that is, trying to use graphical methods to express it. Doing so will be easier for people to understand and compare than simple text.

And because the maps on several reports are drawn in the same position. So Audrey Hepburn overlapped these reports and shone them against the sunlight outside the car window, and suddenly found a place like a black hole on the African continent, without much annotation.

That is the position west of Somalia, north of Kenya, and south of Ethiopia. Audrey Hepburn pointed to the void and asked curiously: "What is this place?"

Henry glanced at it in his spare time and replied: "That is Wakanda, a backward and poor agricultural country. It is still a monarchy country, and the contemporary king is T'Chaka. Although it has not established diplomatic relations with any country, it is a member of the United Nations."

The above is information provided by the United Nations, Henry did not make any guesses and watering based on his own memory.

Ms. Hepburn asked: "Then can we go here? Wakanda."

Henry replied straightforwardly: "Probably not. Because Wakanda has not accepted aid from any human rights organization, and established human rights protection agencies within its territory, so we have no reason to visit.

"On the other hand, they have never submitted an invitation, and we can't be an uninvited guest. However, you can try to submit a request for a visit to Wakanda through the Children's Fund. But I don't think they will agree."
