Herodotus's The Histories

Two mornings after Hurricane Ike, I am doing photography in my neighborhood in northwest Houston. I see a woman carrying a pet rabbit.

 I ask whether I can take her picture with her pet rabbit.

She lets me take her rabbit's picture but not hers.

 I respectfully concur.

She tells me, "I do not have any money left, and no food". "I will give you money", as I reach for my wallet. "No, I do not need money. I am right now going to the church where they are giving food".

Please help, as lot of people are hurting due to Hurricane Ike.
