On the road of everyone's growth, there may be such a person: she appears in your world without warning, teaches you to live, grows with you, and when your heart is suddenly open and your life is renewed, you find that she suddenly disappears into your world, as if she has never been in the future. Because, you've grown, and she's got to the point where she needs to leave. Perhaps, in her life, you also played a role in growing up with her.
In a school in an ordinary small town in the United States, there lives a group of children who are not poetic at all. They bully the small and rely on the strong to bully the weak, and Jesse lives among them, the poor creature of the school. Jesse has two older sisters, two younger sisters, and Christian parents. The family is poor and often needs to calculate every penny of expenses carefully. Jesse's clothes were worn out, and his shoes were left over from his sister, which also made him inferior and taciturn.
Jesse loves to run, and he runs fast, and before Esley arrived, he was the fastest kid in his grade. Aisley was a girl who had transferred halfway through, dressed like a long stocking, with long legs, short blond hair, eyes that were shining with laughter, and her face covered with sunlight. Eisley ran faster than Jesse, which hurt Jesse's self-esteem, so at first Jesse didn't accept Eisley's friendship. By chance, the generous and well-talking Ashley discovered the painting that Jesse had secretly drawn and greatly appreciated him. With his personality, Ashley infected Jesse, gave him self-confidence, and taught him to open his heart and let his imagination run wild. Slowly, they became good friends.
One day, Ashley found a hanging rope through which the two of them swung across a river. Ashley told Jesse that there was a kingdom deep in the forest called Trebicia, where there were no bad people, no teachers who let you study all day, no annoying classmates, everything was very beautiful, and even everything was up to you, and you could do whatever you wanted.
Jesse, who is naturally active and loves freedom, naturally longs for this mysterious kingdom. So Esley asked him to close his eyes and "fantasize" about entering the mysterious kingdom of Trebicia, wandering comfortably in the kingdom they had imagined. Since then, Jesse and Ashley have often fantasized about the kingdom of Trebicia together, and the two have regarded themselves as kings and queens. Back in the real world, the two still have to face countless challenges and challenges, but when they are tired, the two will meet and wander in this wonderful fantasy world.
Their lives were so pleasant. Until one day, Jesse went to the museum with the music teacher he had always admired. However, Ashley didn't know where Jesse had gone. Just when she wanted to swing across the river with the rope again, the rope broke...
Jesse couldn't believe this fact, and he fell into immense self-blame. He felt that if he invited Eisley to the museum, Eisley would not be dead. Jesse said to the music teacher, "The next time we go to the museum and invite Esley well, she will be very happy." "
Sadly, Ashley disappeared from Jesse's world. After Jesse figured it out, he built a bridge over the river and invited his sister to the other end of the bridge to the mysterious kingdom of Trebicia.
