That evening at supper, as they sat enjoying sundown and the quiet of woods and mountains, they heard a motor far away. The wind took it away and then it sounded much nearer, grinding in low gear. George stood up as a jeep came round the mountain. In it sat a man and a woman.
The jeep came into the clearing, swaying over stones and roots.
"Charlie!"
"Hi," Charlie said. He helped Beth down.
George yanked Timmy to his feet. "Stand up, son. This is the President of the United States."
"I got a present for you, George," Charlie said.
"Not another pressure cooker!" Rosy said.
"A peace pipe," Charlie said.
Timmy's big round eyes took him in. "Are you the President?" he asked in a small, awed voice.
"Not any more," Charlie said.
George stared at him. "You didn't give up the White House?"
"What else could I do?" Charlie said. "I gave it back to the Indians."

Have you ever thought about what fiction is? Probably, such a question may seem surprising: and so everything is clear. Every person throughout his life has to repeatedly create the works he needs for specific purposes - statements, autobiographies, dictations - using not gypsum or clay, not musical notes, not paints, but just a word. At the same time, almost every person will be very surprised if he is told that he thereby created a work of fiction, which is very different from visual art, music and sculpture making. However, everyone understands that a student's essay or dictation is fundamentally different from novels, short stories, news that are created by professional writers. In the works of professionals there is the most important difference - excogitation. But, oddly enough, in a school literature course, you don’t realize the full power of fiction. So using our website in your free time discover fiction for yourself.
