How can kids become heroes? Do they have to save the world? No. Tobecome a hero, kids just have to think about what others need and find a wayto help. Katie Stagliano is one of those hero kids.
Katie loved to garden. When she was 9, she harvested( 收获) a hugecabbage which weighed 40 pounds. The cabbage was far bigger than what herfamily needed, so she thought about what to do with it.
She knew that there were lots of hungry people in South California, whereshe lived. So she decided to donate her huge cabbage to a soup kitchen. Itturned out that her kind donation(捐赠) helped feed more than 275 people.
Then Katie thought about other gradeners(园艺爱好者) who had morevegetables than they could eat.
Suddenly, she saw a way to solve both problems. Katie realized that shecould help fight against hunger by encouraging kids to plant vegetable gardensand donate their harvest to hungry people. Thats how Katies Krops was born.
Katie says,“My dream is that there are no hungry people.”To make that dreamcome true, Katiegot her whole school involved.The students planted a hugegarden, but Katie knew she could do more. She turned to an (组织)called Fields to Families, which sent a master gardener to help.
“Its so great to help people,”Katie adds, but kids dont have to grow hugecabbages. If they could grow “even one vegetable plant and donate it to a localsoup kitchen, we could make a huge difference in the fight against hunger”.
Its been several years since Katie Stagliano started working on her dream.Today, more than 60 gardens around the United States are being grown bykids. Young gardeners have donated tens of thousands of pounds of freshvegetables to stop hunger.
Sadly, many people are still hungry. However, Katies Krops and hundreds of child gardeners are planting and harvesting to change that.

( )22. Katies duty to help the poor made her start to help hungry people.
( )23. Katie asked an organization for help.
