In "Tuck Everlasting," the wood serves as a magical barrier that grants the Tuck family immortality after they drink from its spring. The cows, who also drink from the water, become part of this cycle of eternal life, living alongside the Tucks without aging. This connection to the wood symbolizes the tension between the natural cycle of life and the desire for permanence, highlighting themes of mortality and the consequences of immortality. The presence of the cows emphasizes the idea that life, in all its forms, is meant to follow a natural course.
