WisdomofBearWoodWisdom of Bear WoodMichael WelzenbachApril17,2015When I was12years old,my family moved to England,the fourth major move in my short life.My father’s government job demanded that he go overseas every few years,so I was used to wrenching myself away from friends.We rented an18th-century farmhouse in Berkshire.Nearby were ancient castles and churches.Loving nature,however,I was most delighted by the endless patchwork of farms and woodland that surrounded our house.In the deep woods that verged against our back laurels ahead as you walked.I spend most of my time roaming the woods and?elds alone,playing Robin Hood,daydreaming,collecting bugs and bird-watching.It was heaven for a boybut a lonely heaven.Keeping to my self was my way of not forming attach-ments that I would only have to abandon the next time we moved.But one day I became attached through no design of my own.We had been in England about six months when old farmer Crawford gave me permission to roam about his immense property.I started hiking there every weekend,up a long,sloping hill to an almost impenetrable stand of trees calls Bear Wood.It was my secret fortress,almost a holy place,I thought.slipping through a barbed-wire fence,I’d leave the bright sun and the twitter and rustle of insects and animals outside and creep into another Worlda vaulted cathedral, with tree trunks for pillars and years’accumulation of long brown needles for a softlycarpeted?oor.My own breathing rang in my ears,and the slightest stirring of any woodland creature echoed through this private paradise.one spring afternoon I wandered near where I thought I’d glimpsed a pond the week before.I proceeded quietly,careful not to alarm a bird that might loudly warm other creatures to hide.Perhaps this is why the frail old lady I nearly ran into was as startled as I was. She caught her breath,instinctively touching her throat with her hand.Then, recovering quickly,she gave a welcoming smile that instantly put me at ease,A pair of powerful-looking binoculars dangled from her neck.”Hello,young man,”she said.”Are you American or Canadian?”1American,I explained in a rush,and I lived over the hill,and I was just seeing if there was a pond,and farmer Crawford had said it was okay,and anyhow,I was on my way home,so good-bye.As I started to turn,the woman smiled and asked,”Did you see the little owl from the wood over there today?”she pointed toward the edge of the wood. She knew about the owls?I was amazed.”No,”I replied,”but I’ve seen them before.Never close though.They always see me?rst.”The woman laughed.”Yes,they’re wary,”she said.”But then,gamekeepers have been shooting them ever since they got here.They’re introduced,you know,not native.””They’re not?”I asked,fascinated.Anybody who knew this sort of stu?was de?nitely cooleven if she was trespassing in my special place.”Oh,no!”she answered,laughing again.”At home I have books on birds that explain all about them.In fact,”she saidsuddenly,”I was about to go back for tea and jam tart.Would you care to join me?”I had been warned against going o?with strangers,but somehow I sensed the old woman was harmless.”Sure,”I said.”I’m Mrs.Robertson-Glasgow,”she introduced herself,extending her?ne hand.”Michael,”I said,taking it clumsily in my own.We set o?.And as we walked,she told me how she and her husband had moved to Berkshire after he’d retired as a college professor about ten years earlier.”He passed away last year,”she said,looking suddenly wistful.”So now I’m alone,and I have all this time to walk the?elds.”Soon I saw a small brick cottage that glowed pinkly in the westering sun. Mrs.Robertson-Glasgow opened the door and invited me in.I gazed about in silent admiration at the bookshelves,glass-fronted cases containing?gures of ivory and carved stones,cabinets full of fossils,trays of pinned butter?ies and, best of all,a dozen or so stu?ed birdsincluding a glass-eyed eagle owl.”Wow!”was all I could say.2”Does your mother expect you home a t a particular time?”she asked as she ran the water for tea.”No,”I lied.Then,glancing at the clock,I added,”Well,maybe by?ve.”That gave me almost an hour,not nearly enough time to ask about every single object in the room.But between mouthfuls of tea and jam tart I learned all sorts of things from Mrs.Robertson-Glasgow.The hour went by much too swiftly.Mrs.Robertson-Glasgow had to practi-cally push me out the door.But she sent me homewith two large tomes,one full of beautiful illustrations of birds,and one of butter?ies and other insects.I promised to return them the next weekend if she didn’t mind my coming by. She smiled and said she’d look forward to that.I had made the best friend in the world.When I returned the books,she lent me more.Soon I began to see her almost every weekend,and my well of knowledge about natural history began to brim over.At school,I earned the nickname”Prof”and some respect from my fellow students.Even the school bully brought me a dead bird he had found, or probably shot,to identify.During the summer I spent blissfully long days with my friend.I discovered she made the?nest shortbread in the world.We would explore Bear Wood, munching happily and discussing the books she had lent me.In the afternoons we would return to the cottage,and she would talk about her husbandwhat a ?ne man he’d been.Once or twice she seemed about to cry and left the room quickly to make more tea.But she always came back smiling.As time passed,I did not notice that she was growing frailer and less inclined to laugh.Familiarity sometimes makes people physically invisible,for you?nd yourself talking to the heartto the essence,as it were,rather than to the face.I suspected,of course,that she was lonely;I did not know she was ill.Back at school,I began to grow quickly.I played soccer and made a good friend.But I still stopped by the cottage on weekends,and there was always fresh shortbread.One morning when I went downstairs to the kitchen,there was a familiar-looking biscuit tin on the table.I eyed it as I wentto the refrigerator.My mother was regarding me with a strange gentleness.”son,”she began, painfully.And from the tone of her voice I knew everything instantly.3She rested her hand on the biscuit tin.”Mr.Crawford brought these this morn-ing.”She pa used,and I could tell she was having di?culty.”Mrs.Robertson-Glasgow left them for you.”I stared out the window,tears stinging my eyes.”I’m sorry,Michael,but she died yesterday,”she went on.”She was very old and very ill,and it was time.”My mother put h er arm about my shoulder.”You made her very happy, because she was lonely,”she said.”You were lucky to be such a good friend for her.”Wordlessly,I took the tin to my room and set it on my bed.Then,hurrying downstairs,I burst through the front door and ran to the woods.I wandered for a long time,until my eyes had dried and I could see clearly again.It was springalmost exactly a year since I’d met the old woman in Bear Wood.I looked around me and realized how much I now knew.About birds, insects,plants and trees,thanks to her help.And then I remembered that back in my bedroom I had a tin of the best shortbread in the world,and I should go and eat it like I always did in weekends at Mrs.Robertson-Glasgow’s cottage.In time,that old round tin?lled up with dried leaves,fossils and bits of colorful stones,and countless other odds and ends.I still have it.But I have much more,the legacy of that long-ago encounter in Bear Wood. It is a wisdom tutored by nature itself,about theseen and the un seen,about things that change and things that are changeless,and about the fact that no matter how seemingly di?erent two souls may be,they possess the potential for that most precious,rare thingan enduring and rewarding friendship.4。

Better an open enemy than a false friend.--- Franklin 虚伪的朋友比公开的敌人更坏。
eg: At the age of eight, she was wrenched from her foster
parents and sent to live with another family.
eg: 1)He wrenched his arm away.
2)He managed to wrench himself free.
If someone is wrenched from people whom they like or love, they are taken away from them suddenly, which causes them great unhappiness.
In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class and race.
