Ring of Bright Water

     It depicts the life of an author and otters in a cottage called Camusfearna, a remote Scottish country.
     At the bereavement of his dog Johnnie, Gavin Maxwell comes up with the idea of keeping an otter. His first one was in Arab and he was Chahala. However, Maxwell didn't know about Arab fish and how to catch them, so he fed a bird that ate a poisoned fish, and Chahala died soon.
     Next was really familiar with Maxwell called Mijbil and enjoyed the nature of Scotland, but he was killed by a heartless man.
     Third one is Edal from Africa. This otter was taken over by a couple he met by chance.

 

     Even before I was born, my parents had some cats at home. I used to live with a cat, but I have been feeling lonely since I started living alone when I entered university. 

     When I was at my parents' house, there were countless encounters and farewells with cats. I felt like an eternal farewell, especially when a cat I beloved was hospitalized in a car accident, and I blamed myself. Not limited to the cat, my heart may be exhausted by the repeated farewell days that come suddenly. Because I could empathize with him so much.
