Sarah sat next to Damien. And Damien continued reading.

"And then gathering up their spoils...vanished without a trace."

Damien and Sarah: Wow!

Damien:
"Flint's secret trove was never found. But stories have presisted that it remains hidden. Somewhere at the fathest reaches of the Earth. Stowed with riches beyond imagination. The loot of a thousand countries. Treasure Island!"

Damien: Wow! How'd he swoop in out of nowhere and vanished without a trace?

Sarah: I have no idea. Okay, now it's time for to go to sleep.

Damien: Okay. But you think somebody'll ever find Treasure Island?

Sarah: Oh Sweetheart, I think it's more...like...a legend.

Damien: But I know it's real.

Sarah: [laugh] You win. It's real.

Sarah kissed Damien on the forehead.

Damien: Good night, Mommy!

Sarah: Good night, Sweetheart! I love you!

Damien: I love you, too!

After Sarah left the room and Damien read a little more.

Damien:
"There are nights when the winds if the sky, so inviting in their promise of flight and freedom made one's spirit soar!"
