Dear A&E Television,
Recently, I heard of your very popular reality show entitled “Hoarders” and would like to submit my sister, Mdwana, as a contestant. She has many unnecessary items in her hut which complicate her existence.
Some days ago, I journeyed to her home hoping to borrow some water to revive my yak. I was very hot and fatigued by the time I arrived, and she offered me a rag to wipe the sweat from my brow.
I protested, saying, “I cannot soil your rag. You may need it later to wash yourself.” But she only smiled and produced a second rag from within her domicile.
She then invited me inside to escape the blazing sun, and I was astonished to see that she had not only one, but two squatting boards. She also had a third sandal, several pieces of colored glass, a plastic spoon, and some string.
I asked her how she could live with so many possessions, but she seemed to not even take notice of her excess.
Please, aid my sister in her sickness. I beg you.
Respectfully,
Gamba
