Tuck’s house The Tuck’s house is home to Jesse, Miles, Mae, and Angus Tuck. Tuck’s house is very homely with wood shaving high and low in a cozy way. It is in the middle of the forest by a pond. That only Winnie and the Tucks know where it is.
Problem • Winnie has to decide weather to drink the water or not • Man-in-Yellow Suit took the wood from the Fosters and went to get Winnie back • Mae hits Man-in-Yellow Suit over the head with a shotgun stock and killed him • Mae was sent to get hung but Winnie and the other Tucks got her out of jail
Plot • Winnie threw rocks at the toad because of boredom • Man-in-Yellow Suit shows up and asks Winnie if she has seen the Tucks • Winnie’s grandmother comes to see who she is talking to and they here the “elf music” • Winnie ran away from her house into the wood • She saw Jesse at the spring drinking the water • Jesse, Miles, and Mae explain their stories to Winnie • She was taken to the Tuck’s house • Angus tells here his story • Man-in-Yellow Suit “steals” the Wood • Man-in-Yellow Suit shows up during dinner • Mae hits and kills the Man-in-Yellow Suit • Mae was sent to get hung
