An hour later Jan and Samos stood on the beach where they had landed. Jan took the golden coin from his pocket and flung it into the air. It spun high in a glittering arc. As it passed the peak, began to move away from the sky and back toward the sea, it changed into a ship, tiny but growing.

“Where shall we go?” asked Samos, as they climbed aboard.

Jan started to answer, but the words caught in his throat. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, tried again. “Where shall we go? Anywhere we want! After all . . . I’m a free man.”

The Golden Sail caught the wind. The sea air was fresh and sweet in their nostrils. A gull cawed and wheeled above them. Beyond the gull they saw a single bright star, the first star of evening.

A mermaid sang in the distance.

And the ship sailed on.
