Every 10 years, Winnie would visit the boys at the spring. Mae lamented that they didn’t have many friends. Once in a while, the Tucks would find a new house to live in. They had to take on many jobs in order to kill boredom. Mae and Tuck made stuff to sell and their works were all lying around the house. Later, she explored the Tuck’s family house. Winnie was well disciplined as she was brought up under constant supervision at home. To Tuck, this was his happiest moment in 87 years. Winnie was carried by Miles and they came to their own hut, where Tuck was around. No one noticed this, but the man with the yellow suit overheard everything and was following them now. However, she was not allowed to let out the secret. The plan was for Winnie to see her parents tomorrow. Although the Tucks kidnapped her, Winnie didn’t feel all that bad. Apparently, only Winnie knew about this secret. Being an immortal didn’t seem such a good idea after all. Dad thought it was a leftover from some previous plan the world had. Nobody knew how it works or why the water possessed such magical powers. Tuck tried to shoot himself but he wouldn’t die. Bullets wouldn’t even leave a mark when it hit someone. Everyone concluded that there was magical powers with the spring water. After a passage of time, they realized that they couldn’t grow old anymore. However, he accidentally fell and hit his head. Later they found a shack and decided to stay there. Jesse admitted to Winnie that the Tucks needed her help.Ĩ7 years ago, the Tucks came to this forest. The fact was that the music didn’t come from elves. It was the same music she heard the night before. With the music playing, Winnie stopped crying. Mae took out her music box and started to wind it. Now, the Tucks stopped and Winnie started to cry. Winnie did not do anything to signal for his attention. While on the road, they found the man in the yellow suit. They would explain why they were taking her away. Winnie next found herself on a horse and being kidnapped by the Tucks. Just then, Mae Tuck and Miles Tuck appeared. She wanted to drink the water but was advised not to do so by Jesse. He was a 104 years old but looked like a 17 year old. Winnie explained to him that the woods belonged to the Fosters. He started drinking water from the ground. Suddenly, she came upon a boy who was sitting down beside a tree. The woods felt alive and Winnie enjoyed walking in them. She had belief now and she wanted to exit the woods. It was one thing to talk about being by yourself, doing important things, but quite another when the opportunity arose. The man in the yellow suit started humming the tune and he skipped away happily. The man didn’t reveal who he was looking for. Later, he wanted to speak to Winnie’s dad. The man admitted that he was here because he was looking for a family. He started talking to Winnie and asking about her family. Do you know they’ve hardly ever let me out of this yard all by myself? – Winnie FosterĪ stranger in a yellow suit came to the Foster’s gate. Why should you have to be cooped up in a cage, too? It’d be better if I could be like you, out in the open and making up my mind. The toad hopped away when Winnie tried to talk to it. She vowed to escape as she couldn’t stand the incessant attention and nagging from her mum and grandma. The weather was sweltering and extremely warm. Winnie started talking to a toad near the fence. Mae, her husband, and her two boys (Miles and Jesse) looked the same since 87 years ago. Whenever she went, Mae would carry her precious music box with her. Tuck was lazy and continued sleeping, not wanting to go. It was 10 years since she last visited Treegap. Mae admitted that she wanted to take the horse to meet their sons. Tuck dreamt that he was in heaven and that he had never heard of Treegap. Winnie was a kid who was interested in the forest but had never visited it before. The woods actually belonged to the Fosters and no one except them would cross it. The first house before Treegap was extremely quiet. Treegap contained cottages, houses, roads and woods. But sometimes people find this out too late. Fixed points they are, and best left undisturbed, for without them, nothing holds together. A Ferris Wheel has one, as the sun is the hub of the wheeling calendar. This book will continue to intrigue readers way into the future.Īll wheels must have a hub.
