Bug fighting. Yes, this hobby really exists. This hobby is most popular in Eastern countries. People catch grasshoppers, praying mantis, spiders and etc. Then put them in cages. People push them with a stick, to make them angry. The angry insects start to fight. It may seem like the cheapest and easiest hobby at first, but in eastern countries, the best insects can cost over $100! This is unusual for me. I think, it is kind of strange. But still, many people like it. I don't know for sure, but maybe even people are betting on insects.

Why? I think the author would show us that not only external beauty plays an important and "beautiful" role in life, but also internally. - Почему? Думаю автор хотел показать нам что не только внешняя красота играет важную и "красивую" роль в жизне, но и внутреняя.
