You have a great time at the party. It’s past midnight when the award ceremony begins. Your Carriage5000 has turned back into Jacko. The king holds up a glass key—yours. You’ve won! He asks that the winner drive his or her spaceship forward. But when you approach with Jacko, he frowns. “That’s not the right spaceship,” the king says, looking down at the glass key in his hand.
“But…” you say, desperately. “I can prove I was the winning pilot. I have a key to match!” You reach into your pocket and hand him the spare.
The king holds up both keys, still frowning. You hold your breath. Finally he shrugs and nods. “Well, then, congratulations! But please, remove that thing from our sight. You’ll be flying only top-notch ships from now on.”
