When Jason grew up, he would become king. The bad uncle did not want Jason. "My own son shall be king," he said. "I will make sure he does. Jason must die." Jason's father found out what the evil brother wanted to do.

The people knew it. The king knew it. What was the evil king to do? "I must get rid of him," he said to himself. To Jason he said, "Who are you, young man? What do you want?" "My name is Jason," answered the boy. "I am the son of the real king of the country. I have come to claim the throne. It belongs to me."

Jason was not frightened. He would not give up. "No we won't," said Jason. "We are not afraid to fight." While the king was talking, a young girl came up beside him. When Jason left she followed him. "I am the king's daughter Medea," she said. "I can help you. If you do what I say, you can get the Golden Fleece." Jason needed all the help he could get.

Many young men wanted to go with Jason. They hated his uncle, the wicked king. They wanted Jason to rule. Besides, they liked the idea of adventure. They saw a chance to prove their bravery. When they were chosen, Jason was very proud.

Funnily he said he was busy So he can’t come to the dock

Argus built the world's best ships. He was glad to see Jason again. "Argus," said Jason, "I need your help. I am going on a long trip. I am going to bring home the Golden Fleece. I need a big strong ship. Will you build it for me?"

He said, "Did Chiron teach you everything? Let me see how clever you are. Did he tell you what to do if someone wanted your throne? What would you do?" Before he thought, Jason answered. "I'd send him to get the Golden Fleece," he said with a laugh. As soon as the words were spoken the king smiled.

The crowd grew quiet. Everyone listened for the king's answer. "Of course, Jason," he said. "I am glad to see you. I have been waiting. I have kept the kingdom for you. As soon as you are ready, you shall be king." "I have lived with Chiron," Jason said.

Soon they were all fighting. They fought among themselves until everyone was dead. Jason stood aside until the battle ended. Now two of the big dangers were past. Jason was getting closer to the Golden Fleece. He could see it, far away, shining in the sun. In his hurry to get closer, he forgot the dragon. But not for long.

Sparkling and shining, the gold skin was hung on a tree in a far away land. Everyone wanted it. Heroes tried to get it for their kings. Many lost their lives trying. Now it was Jason's turn. To get the Golden Fleece, Jason would have to make a long trip over dangerous seas. He would need a good strong ship. He went to Argus, the ship builder, an old friend of his father.

"He has taught me many things. I think I am ready to be king. I will be kind to my people. I will try to rule wisely." But the wicked king was not ready to give up. Already he was planning to get rid of Jason.

They laughed at Louis Armstrong when he said he was gonna go to the moon.

Jason saw how the king had tricked him. But it was too late. "You are very wise, my boy," said the king. "That is a good test. Chiron taught you well. When you bring me the Golden Fleece, you may be king." Now the Golden Fleece was the skin of a wonderful sheep. This sheep had saved two children. In honor of its good deed, it was turned to gold.
