Question

    Since Martha Payne's fight against a council ban on her publishing photographs of her school dinners became an Internet event,she has been tired with promises of book,TV and movie deals. But it has emerged the nine-year-old accepted only one offer after her successful bat-tle against censorship (審查) became an international big event on Friday.

    The selfless Scottish schoolgirl has now agreed to team up with Nick Naim,the celebrity chef (名廚) ，to help local council provide more nutritious meals for her and her classmates. The move emerged as Roddy McCuish,the local authority's leader,admitted the council had been wrong and offered to apologise to Martha when they meet later this week. Martha's case has become the world's third most talked about subject on the social networking site Twitter.

   David Payne,her father,yesterday said his daughter remains calm after the global attention,which drew more than five million people to her blog,NeverSeconds,where she posts photographs of her school dinners and rates them out of ten. “ Since this started,we’ve had offers to appear on television shows from all around the world—daytime TV from Japan and from Australia. We’ve had Hollywood agents talking about a book and TV and maybe a film,”the father said.

   “But we’ve turned them all down. Martha will be back in school on Monday and no doubt writing her blog. M However,she and her fellow pupils at Lochgilphead Primary School have agreed to help the council create a new menu. Martha has now raised more than

£ 75,000 for development charity Mary's Meals after 5 ,500 people contributed.

    Her blog attracted the wide attention last month when she posted a picture of a meal consisting of a pizza and lone potato croquette (炸丸子) ，saying she would struggle to concentrate in lessons because of so little food. Soon thousands of people from around the world were visiting the website to see what Martha had eaten that day,leaving comments and sending in photographs of their own lunches. But the council banned her from taking pictures last week,citing coverage in a Scottish newspaper calling for the school's dinner ladies to be fired.
