CAPIOTS
by Veronika Kolchyk, 8b

  60 years, according to Peter, it was already a frank old age. He had no children, grandchildren, his wife had died three years ago, and until now he felt her presence and did not believe that she was not there. Every day of Peter was not so cheerful, everything was ordinary, without any joy... Peter daily looked after his garden and house. However, he refused to weed the grass in the very place near the stuffed animal, which scared off the pheasants. As a child, while going to the toilet, he noticed that the stuffed animal was alive! It blinked and moved like a flag! The parents did not believe the boy, because "It's just the wind, sonny." Since then, he had not touched the straw man. And then he realized that this was not the case and he needed to pull himself together.

Peter was working in the garden that day too. He approached the scarecrow and began to weed the grass. He was digging a deep hole when he found an old silver box. When he opened it, he was surprised to see an old map. He immediately calmed down and muttered: "What stupidity! The kid must have thrown it!". And threw the chest over the fence. After lunch, Peter decided to come back and pick up the map. But alas... The chest had disappeared. The man waved his hand and went to weed the grass in another area. Suddenly he remembered that he had left the shovel near the scarecrow. When he returned, he found the same silver chest right next to the scarecrow. “Some kind of mystic!” - said Peter anxiously and took the chest for himself. He brought it to the bed and began to examine what was inside. Map, compass and a gray ball of glass. «How has it not crashed yet?» Peter wondered. He rubbed the ball to remove dust and suddenly a man appeared in front of him! Well, not quite human, of course... Something between Gene and Casper.

“Who are you?” Peter exclaimed in dismay.

"Oh me, mister? Well, I thought everyone here knew me. Kheh-cheh. I am the great, all-powerful, brilliant, unrivaled Pixewal!"

- Heheh ..- the old man could not resist.
- Are you laughing at Pixewal?!

“Come on, Pix, calm down. - came the sound from the door. Peter turned around and asked in fear

- Who you are? How did you get here? What do you need?!!
- Quiet, quiet, old man, don't panic! We are here for you to help us. I'm Levy, this is Pix...
- Pixewal!!!
- Okay, Pixewal... He doesn't like it when someone else calls him, like me. We are brothers..
- Consolidated!
- What's the difference? Shut up at last, Pix!
- How may I help you?

"You're Peter Svoyski, aren't you?"

- Yes...
- Your father owed me a debt in his youth, yeah... Your dad, of course... not one of the best...
- Not true!
- Come on, okay! But the fact remains! You must help us! Plus... Your life isn't so interesting, Peter...
- What do I need to do?
- Do you see this map? Open it! Look closely, does it look like anything? -No... Although! This is my home!!! How is this possible?!
- The fact is that a long time ago...
- Hey, Levi, keep it short!
- Okay, in general, believe as you want, but besides people, there are also little people, the size of a thimble - capiots. Your father had lived with them in this house. And now you have to help the capiots.
- How?
- Follow the map and find a treasure, it is in a jar, which only you can get. Open it and release the unfortunate capiots from captivity.
- Okay...
- Well, it's time for us.

And they disappeared from Peter's sight. "What was it?" - still could not believe Peter.

Suddenly, he realized what kind of capiots we are talking about! These are the same freaks from daddy's fairy tale. Now the most important thing is to remember the route of the capiots in the fairy tale. He found an incomprehensible cookie in the chest, ate and suddenly!... all the furniture began to grow and he was as tall as an ant! What about back now? Elixir lay before him. Well, like from "Alice in Wonderland"! Several hours passed, and Peter kept thinking and thinking about the story. And suddenly he heard the voice of Mary, his wife! He couldn't believe it!

-Dear, I have little time!
-Mary, honey! I love you so much! I..
- Honey, I love you too, but I have no time!
- Yes, of course, tell me.
- Remember the valley of the sewer pipes!
-I remember, honey! Will you stay with me?
-Dear, I can't! But I will always be in your heart!
-I will not forget you! Mary! Hey!

The voice is gone...

Too many details... Let's speed up!? I'm already a little tired too, my reader!

So, Peter found the same jar, freed the residents, and.... What, and? Did you think everything would end with a happy ending? No guys... Peter did the job and went on with his normal life. Yes, of course, here I described unreal events, but I still haven’t told about Peter’s fate. Often in books about adventure, and not only, at the end, the main character is happy, next to loved ones. But! Let's go back to real life! Nobody wants Peter, they just used it. I'm sorry I didn't live up to your expectations for the ending. But such is life!
