The legend of how Treegap Spring became enchanted has never been revealed, until now.
Treegap was nothing but trees and a spring. No one lived there, no one knew what "Treegap" was until two boys discovered it. Sick of all the rules at home, Mike and Joey, two eleven year olds decided to run away. Little did they know about what was coming.
The early vivid sunlight shone through the paned windows of the small brick home sparking like a diamond. Mike and Joey were ready. Their parents weren't awake so it was the perfect time for them to escape. They set off on their adventure with no maps, no food,water, or shelter.
"Where exactly are we going?" Mike asked his brother.
Joey looked up at the blazing sunlight, “Who knows?”
So the two boys continued on their journey. They did not know where they were, and did not know if their parents were awake looking for them. Time was meaningless because Mike and Joey were determined to find a place to stay for the night. They could see some trees in the distance and those trees seemed to call them there. So they ran over to the trees and found a forest.
They explored the forest and no homes or sources of food so they started leaving but a glistering sparkle caught Joey's eye.
"Hey look over there Mike!" Joey said to Mike. Mike looked over where Joey was pointing. "Yeah, what is that?"
"Might as well go over there!" Joey replied to him walking over there cautiously.
What they reached was a spring. Mike and Joey both danced in joy! They found water!
After their long walk they found a water! The both dived into the water like puppies getting their dinner. They were so happy and excited. The whistling of birds filled the forest. The faint smell of pine trees also filled the forest. Only...
... middle of paper ...
... many trees in the forest and the spring made a gap between one side and the other. Treegap was born.
Twenty years passed.

In ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ Lee presents the tree as a way to allude to something that it’s not: Boo Radley.

The children do recognize his want to communicate as they write him a letter, ‘dear sir… we appreciate everything you have done for us’. When the hole gets filled with cement, it symbolizes the end of the communication; ‘tree’s dying. You plug ‘em with cement when they’re sick’ is the reason
