The Tucks cannot die. To protect this secret, they do not allow themselves to get involved with other people. They cannot have friends, lovers, or even enemies. But Winnie finds them. Winnie gets involved. She admires their eternal youth, the fact that they do not fear death or illness. But she senses that they are trapped. Their choices are limited because of their secret. When faced with the ultimate temptation of joining them in immortality, Winnie says "no."Mankind has been plagued with weakness against temptation since the beginning. We have insatiable desires for power, fame, and pleasure. We often want to please ourselves immediately, without regard for laws or principles. As individuals, we are faced with temptations every day. Will we be able to say "no" like Winnie?
