"I wouldn't mind being eaten by the humans if I could be useful to them. Rather, I would be glad to sacrifice myself to them. Every creature in one way or another should contribute to some useful cause." "I have a favor to ask you, Junior. I want you to do one thing when you arrive on the land. Please have a bite of my meat and prove to the others that I did not die a worthless death. It would make me more than happy to know that I would be of some help to others' living."

It was true, though, that he had wished to try whale meat. However, Senior appeared not to be joking this time. |
