"It got hit by the tornado." Taylor answered.
"Obviously. But I thought they were building a new hospital here."
"They were." Rita answered. "But they're had a ton of problems building it. The tornado was the last straw. If they're ever going to finally build it, they need thirty-four million dollars."
"How do you know that?"
"I read the newspaper."
"Oh."
Rita smiled.
"So, in other words," Taylor asked, "if they don't get the money, then construction will be aborted?"
"Yeah."
"Man, and they really need a hospital around these parts." Babsie commented. "That reeks. Where are they gonna cough up thirty-four million smackers if no one's interested?"
"Well, I have an idea…" Isaac replied with a small smile growing. "But we'd have to get Zac in on it too."

It took a good deal of discussion between the three guys, and then again with the people behind the hospital, but they finally came to a conclusion.
If the hospital people could manage to raise one million dollars, the Hansons would donate the remaining thirty-three million.
Naturally, this started an excited discussion of fundraising activities. Amongst other things.
"We really appreciate this." said the head manager. "And look, we've had a brief discussion between us and - assuming this works out - we would like to name three of the wings after you."
Isaac, Taylor and Zac looked at each other.
"Wow." Taylor commented. "That's, umm, that's really nice of you."
"Not at all. It's the least we can do for your generosity."
"If you want to do that, don't name the wings after us." Zac cut in suddenly.
Everyone looked at him. Zac actually gulped a little nervously.
"Our parents and our youngest sister died because of the tornado. Would you name the wings after them instead?"
The head manager nodded his head slowly.
"Certainly, if that's what you'd all like." He gave Taylor and Isaac a questioning look.
"Yeah, that's a good idea Zac." Isaac agreed, speaking for Taylor as well. "A very good idea."
