The Veteran
by Stephen Crane
Out of the low window could be seen three hickory trees placed irregularly in a meadow that was resplendent in spring-time
green. Farther away, the old, dismal belfry of the village church loomed over the pines. A horse, meditating in the shade of
one of the hickories, lazily swished his tail. The warm sunshine made an oblong of vivid yellow on the floor of the grocery.

since birth were able to achieve driving success in this Transylvanian world where cars truly are the kings of the road.
