Expand description
Ben and his friend Tommy are on their way to see the whale when Tommy shows Ben his penknife. "To get me a souvenir", he says. But Ben doesn't go along with Tommy's plan to cut off a piece of the whale -- he discovers that he cares about the giant sea mammal, even if it is dead. And he learns how to stand up for what he believes in.
