     When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness , who possess wings of their
own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate (照亮) me and train me up for
love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours , too good not to share.
     When I was in the eighth grade.l had a friend. We were shy and "too serious" about our studies
when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said
little at school,but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and  paper , and
one of us  would  say , " Let's start with a train whistle today. " We would sit quietly together and write
separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end
of that school year,we, too, were changed into social creatures and the
stories and poems stopped.
     When I lived for a time in London,l had a friend. He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair. But
our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this
great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many
excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted.We gave London to each
other
.
     For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose ilnagination illuminates mine. We write
long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears,sometimes in a funny way,
in  the other's  dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times,we seem to be parts of the same mind. In
my most interesting moments,l often think "Yes . I must tell. . ." We have never met.
      It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me
than the lifetime services  of a psychologist (心理学家 ) , who will only fill  up  the. healing(愈合的)
silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.
