Why did the Tucks have to keep moving from place to place?

Correct Answer
So people would not realize that they weren't aging

Explanation
The Tucks had to keep moving from place to place so that people would not realize that they weren't aging. This is because the Tucks had accidentally discovered a spring that granted them eternal life. If they stayed in one place for too long, people would start to notice that they never aged or got sick, which would attract unwanted attention and potentially lead to dangerous consequences. Moving frequently allowed them to maintain their secret and avoid suspicion from others.
