Tuck Everlasting
Jessie is 104 years old. He drank from a spring with his mom and dad and brother and horse. Today.. All of them live till they're a few centuries old... Everyone including the horse... Well accept the cat. She didn't drink from it.. So she died of old age. Jessie fell 30 feet one day and not a single bone was broken. Not even a scratch. Jessie met Winnie one day. They fell In love. Winnie met Jessie while she was lost in the woods. Jessie brought her home and showed her what it was like if she had all the time in the world to do what ever she wants. For the first time.. Winnie, an only child, stepped beyond the fence of her home and was free to have fun.. To run and play in the sun.. To ask questions... abt things she did not understand. And then one day.. After a whole day of swimming in lakes and running through fields and rubbing shoulders with wildlife.. Jessie had to leave the town for a while.. He was not sure when he would be coming back so she turned to Winnie and asked her to drink from the stream too... So that she could wait for him. And they could live forever together.
What would you if you were Winnie? What would you do if you had the chance of living forever? What if you could spend the rest of your days with your loved ones with out ever turning grey... Would you have drank from the spring???
You know what Winnie did... She did not drink from the spring. She realized that She should not be afraid of death but she should be afraid of not living life. Winnie Died at the ripe old age of 100. She lived her life and happy that she did. For the few days she spent in the woods with Jessie taught her one of the most important lessons in life.
