The dream of Owen (3)

The dream of Owen (3)

He had not been asleep for long when there was a loud knock at the door.

Owen opened it and a stranger was there.
" I have a letter from the master which must be taken to America. "

" You've arrived very late for such a message, " replied Owen.

But he accepted the message, put on his boots, and went off, striding towards the west.

He met a young lad at the foot of a mountain.

The boy seemed to recognize him, " where are you going in the middle of the night ? " asked the boy.

" I have a letter to take to America. Is this the way ? "

" Yes it is. Keep going westwards. But how will  you travel across the water ? " asked the young lad.

" I will work that out in good time, " said Owen.
