//Dear Snoopy,// //I was drinking from the unusual spring again in the Treegap woods. The 'drink-me-and-live-forever' spring. Then along came this girl. Name's Winnie Foster. Said her family owned the Treegap woods(and I believed her).She said no-one was allowed to enter the Treegap woods, but she said it was fine with her that I came in. Suddenly, she said she wanted some water. Said she was thirsty. I couldn't! If she drank a bit of it right now, she would stay a little girl forever! I kept on making excuses. Then here comes Ma and Miles! Saved! Sadly, we kidnapped Winnie Foster. Seemed scared at first. Then, this man in a jaunty yellow suit sees us taking Winnie Foster away. Ma said we were just teaching Winnie how to ride. When we finally got home, Ma, Miles, and I explained everything to Winnie Foster. Had her mouth in a "o". Then she meets Angus Tuck, my father. He takes Winnie on a ride on the pond and tells her why Winnie's got to keep this secret.// //Well, I'll talk to you tomorrow! Bye! Jesse Tuck P.S. That Winnie Foster's real nice. A very nice girl to stay with. She's staying with us for one night. P.P.S. When Winnie Foster told Pa that she knows the man in the yellow suit, Pa thinks the whole thing's gonna come apart like wet bread. Dear Snoopy, This night, I visited Winnie Foster. I told her that life is to enjoy and Miles, Mae and Angus don't know how to enjoy it. I told her that maybe, since she is neighbors with the spring, when she is 17 years old, same age as me, maybe she could drink from the spring and we could go off together, even maybe marry! I will have to wait for 6 years. Jesse Tuck Dear Snoopy, This morning, we were eating breakfast. Then came this knock on the door. We haven't heard a knock on the door for a long time so it sounded alienish. Who would wish to see us? Ma opened the door and... the man in the jaunty yellow suit. The one we passed by. Oh no! Then he told his story and told us that he heard every single thing when we explained about the spring to Winifred. (I figured out it was her full name.) He said he owned the Treegap woods now. He also said it was a "trade" for Winnie. He said it was time for Winnie to go. Oh no! But... Ma took the old shotgun that Pa owned and hit the man. Hit the man's head. Just then a chubby man on an old horse came by. He was the constable and an eye-witness for what just happened. Jesse Tuck Dear Snoopy, The constable took Winifred back home and took Ma to the jail. Today we have a plan. We are going to free Ma by nailing the window frame out and letting Ma crawl out. Then Winifred volunteered to take place of Ma so we would have more time to escape. Jesse Tuck Sorry Snoopy but i just can't bear to say hello to you when I am in sucha bad mood. Okay here I go. Well, Ma told me that she had been walking where there had been the Treegap wood couple of years ago. She told me the cottage was gone too. Then it hit me. How about Winifred Foster??? What happened to her? Ma said on the way, she saw a **cemetery**. Okay. Then she said... she saw Winnie's name carved on a tomb-stone;Winifred Foster Jackson. So. She had decided not to marry me or drink the water. Stilll, I could forgive her. well. that's about it. this last sentence, i am so sad i dont feel like making capitalized letters. Jesse Tuck//
