"Jesse?" Winnie cried and ran to him. He hugged her for what seemed like hours, but she finally let go. "But, Jesse, what you said. Why not drink from it?"
Sorrow filled Jesse's eyes. "Winnie, I have something to tell you." He led her over to the tree trunk next to the spring and sat down.
"What is it?"
"I have something to tell you, Winnie. Do you know where we went?"
"No."
"We went across the ocean! We sailed the sea! We went all the way over to Australia."
"That's wonderful! No one will ever find you there!"
"Yeah, but what we found there was not so wonderful." Winnie looked at Jesse confused, so he continued. "The spring.it's different. In the outback, there is another spring. We think someone or something moved it."
"What are you talking about, Jesse?" Winnie cried. She couldn't believe this.
"Watch this." Jesse grabbed a wandering turtle, and carried it back to the spring, he let the turtle swim around in the spring, then watched it gulp in some water.
"Jesse, what are you doing? Is it even safe for you to be here?"
"Just wait." He replied. He lifted the turtle out of the water, and set it on the ground. It didn't move. It didn't walk. It just stood there.
Winnie went over to it, and almost screamed in surprise. "Jesse! This turtle, here, it's dead!"
