Bridge To Terabithia

Watch the original version of Bridge To Terabithia

Jess had wanted a friend, but never expected it to happen so quickly. On the first day of school, a new girl showed up to the fifth-grade class and her name was Leslie Burke.

He noticed her immediately. She had an infectious laugh, a devilish twinkle in her eye, and a ferocity that made it clear she wasn’t afraid of anything.

Jess was too shy to make friends and he retreated into the shadows whenever Leslie came near. But one day, something changed.

After school, Leslie had raced down the hill and stopped him in the middle of the woods. She had just been exploring and wanted to show him what she had found.

Jess was captivated by her enthusiasm and followed her back to the secrets of Terabithia. It was a magical woodland kingdom of towering trees, babbling brooks, and lush greenery. Leslie explained that it was a place where they could be heroes and rulers of their own land.

Everyday after school, Jess and Leslie would explore their secret kingdom and escape into their own imaginations. They would create tales of mystical creatures, imaginary battles, and adventures that would take them to far-off places.

Leslie taught Jess the rules of Terabithia and he began to feel like he belonged there. He gained confidence and a newfound courage to battle against his fears and dark secrets.

However, there was one rule that Jess and Leslie both agreed on – no one can ever enter their kingdom without their permission. So they built a bridge to Terabithia and guarded it fiercely. Little did they know what danger was waiting for them on the other side.

The two friends quickly developed a deep devotion to their secret kingdom and worked hard to protect it. But one day, tragedy struck. When a storm hit, their bridge was destroyed and Jess and Leslie were forced to face their fears to make it to the other side.

When they finally arrived on the other side, they were devastated to find that Terabithia had been destroyed. But even in the face of destruction, they found the courage to rebuild their kingdom. And although they knew they could never recreate the magic they once shared there, they vowed to continue exploring and protecting Terabithia forever.

The two friends remained the guardians of Terabithia for years to come, keeping it a secret from the rest of the world. But no matter how far apart their lives took them, a part of Terabithia stayed close to their hearts. It was the memory of their friendship that strengthened them and gave them the courage to keep moving forward.
