On the first day of heart evaluation school a little girl sat down next to Triportia and said,"why is your heart life set so low?" Triportia was only five years old, she didn't really understand that she was different, her happy heart was set at thirty-two, but the other little girl's heart was set for seventy-eight. Her teacher, Dryad Juglans pulled her aside after class and shared a bowl of walnuts with her that they shelled and ate together slowly. He helped her understand the cycle of life, just as the cycle of a walnut moves from fruit to sprout to tree. Not all walnuts become trees, but that doesn't make each one less important. Each walnut has a role to play. This is the story of the education of Triportia.
