Deer And His Friends(5)
At the edge of the woods， Frankie swerved. He was coming back！ Near the stable he whee1ed again. Six times he crossed the meadow. Then， flanks heaving， tongue lolling， he pulled up beside them. Frankie had tested his leg to its limits. It was perfect. "Good！" said George distinctly. Everyone cheered.
Soon Frankie was again waiting for Jean by the electric shop every morning. In the fall Jean put a yellow collar around Frankie's neck to warn off hunters. The mountain was a nature preserve， with no hunting allowed， but poachers frequently sneaked in.
One day a pickup truck filled with hunters drove up to the powerhouse. When the tailgate was lowered， Frankie jumped down. The hunters had read about him and， spotting the yellow collar， figured it must be Frankie.
Every hunting season， George and the other people at Glen Gardner debate whether to lock Frankie in the stable for his own safety――and their peace of mind. But each fall， the vote always goes against it. Frankie symbolizes the philosophy of Glen Gardner， which is to provide care but not to undermine independence.
"A deer and a person， they each have their dignity， "Jean says. "You mustn't take their choices away."
So Frank Buck， the wonderful deer of Glen Gardner， remains free. He runs risks， of course， but life is risk， and Frankie knows he has friends he can count on.
在樹林邊上，弗蘭基突然轉(zhuǎn)過身來。它回來了！到了馬廄，又回頭再飛跑，連續(xù)6次橫穿草地。然后，喘著氣，伸著舌頭，慢慢地走進(jìn)人群。弗蘭基測試了傷腿的最大承受能力，證明它完全正常?！皢讨握Z氣肯定地說道。在場的人無不喝彩歡呼。
不久，每天早上弗蘭基又在電工室等著瓊。秋天時，瓊給弗蘭基套上個黃脖圈，告誡獵人不要獵殺它。那個山區(qū)是個自然保護(hù)區(qū)，不準(zhǔn)捕獵，但是總有非法盜獵者偷偷潛入。
一天，一輛小貨車滿載著獵人來到電工室。后擋板打開后，弗蘭基跳了下來。獵人們讀過有關(guān)它的報道，看到黃脖圈，斷定它就是弗蘭基。
每到捕獵季節(jié)，喬治和其他在格倫加德納療養(yǎng)中心的人就要辯論，為了弗蘭基的安全，是否該把它關(guān)在馬廄里，這樣他們自己也放心。但是每次表決結(jié)果都不贊同這么做。弗蘭基象征著格倫加德納療養(yǎng)中心的創(chuàng)辦思想――提供照看服務(wù)，但不限制自由。
“鹿和人一樣，它們有自己的尊嚴(yán)，”瓊說道。“我們決不能奪走它們自己的選擇?！?/p>
因此，雄鹿弗蘭基，這只深受格倫加德納中心人們鐘愛的鹿，一直自由自在。當(dāng)然，它有風(fēng)險，但是生活本身就是風(fēng)險。而且弗蘭基知道它有可以依賴的朋友。
