Wood

I chose one book to carry on the day to come. Trees of Britain and Europe. I took it with me to the hostel and read it while my neighbor, whom I didn't know yet, was snoring in his bed.
I read about the Swamp-cypress. The common Silver-fir. The Norway Spruce. The European larch. The Western Hemlock-spruce. The Black Walnut. Beech. Tulip Tree. All commonly planted for timber.
The next morning I carried the book in my pocket. My neighbor walked in front of me. He carried a wooden table on his back.
