The theme of this story is summed up at the
very end. It is about "a wisdom tutored by nature
itself, about the seen and unseen, about things that
change and things that are changeless, and about
the fact that no matter how seemingly different
two souls may be, they possess the potential for
that most precious, rare thing-an enduring and
rewarding friendship."
![Page 4: Wisdom of Bear Wood Michael Welzenbach Background information Warming up exercises Useful words and expressions Language points](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061517/56649d155503460f949eb158/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The story is not very subtle, nor is it particularly
dramatic, but it is nevertheless beautiful. It is
beautiful not just became it contains some
beautiful descriptions of the Wood, but became it
is about a beautiful friendship.
![Page 5: Wisdom of Bear Wood Michael Welzenbach Background information Warming up exercises Useful words and expressions Language points](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061517/56649d155503460f949eb158/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is interesting is the fact that this is a
friendship between two souls who are" seemingly
different, in every way: one is an American boy of
twelve; and the other is an old English woman.
They become friends because first of al1,they are
both lonely: the boy is lonely because he is in a
foreign country with his father, the woman is
lonely because she has just lost her dear husband.
But their friendship has another important bond,
that is, their common interest in nature and
knowledge.
![Page 6: Wisdom of Bear Wood Michael Welzenbach Background information Warming up exercises Useful words and expressions Language points](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061517/56649d155503460f949eb158/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
One might also mention the shortbread the woman
keeps supping for the boy, which he loves. But the real
reason for their friendship is the old woman's selfless
interest in the boy. It is often said that true love is in the
giving and not in the taking-So is friendship-The woman
not only gives the boy good food to eat, she also gives him
a new vision of the beautiful nature, the key to the
treasury of human knowledge, and above al1,her care
and love. Does she get anything in return? Yes. Through
giving, she can not help receiving. Although totally unaw
are, the boy has given the woman great consolation too.

Towards the end of the story, the author express
es the idea that true friendship is both rare and
precious. In this world, there are many things you
can see and there are many things you can't see,
and friendship is what you don't see, unlike your
worldly belongings, because it exists deep in your
heart. In this world there are also things that
change and things that do not change, and true
friendship does not change. It is enduring and
rewarding.

It might be a good idea to use this opportunity to
