Ben is stinky

This was not a great work of literature. It wasn't even a good work of literature. It was merely a second year French exercise borrowed from my daughter who took French in high school. I was excited though, to read something more interesting than "Can you tell me where to find the metro", and actually understand it as a story as intended. I have been studying French through a free online program for a few months, and am not quite ready for anything more challenging.

So - four stars for creating a story that is simple but not stupid to give me something to practice on.
