To be honest, I've never read kind of "100% foreign" magazine like this, and understanding the English of a "100% foreign" magazine is quite difficult to me. ^^

So, what was the reason why I chose to read 'about Benson?

1st, it's just because Benson's obituary is the most up-to-date one, which means it appeared first in Economist’s obituary section. So, I read what I see first, that’s quite understandable, especially when it’s my first time, right?

2nd, I think the obituary must be “special and different” among others: it’s about a carb, not a person. To talk about either a good or a bad man, there are lots of stuffs. I bet that obituaries of human, despite their character, origin must be somehow the same. But telling stories about a fish isn’t that unique? How can the fish be “good” or “bad”? Moreover, the sub-title and the picture really did interest me.

In fact, I read the story quite carefully: I even looked up every new word. (That’s another way to learn English, right? ^^) The way the writer tells Benson’s tale is attracting, which brings me surprise to surprise: he must be a professional writer! I also did think about it. Yep, I drew some ideas after reading it. Firstly, for human beings, shouldn’t we care and be more friendly to the environment, the nature and our neighbor creatures? Secondly, for other… fish in the world, they are friends to us, every fish has his/her own contribution to the Development and Evolution, though he is dead by being caught, hooked, by net… his death is useful; just that people don’t make those deaths useless. (Everything must come to an end, so why don’t we make that “end” a worthy one? ^^)

Benson is the most amazing fish, ever. :D
