6.4
Joe est un marchand de journaux pauvre de New York qui vit avec sa grand-mère violente. Tout en vendant des journaux, il reçoit un billet pour une excursion pour enfants parrainée par le Fresh Air Fund. Le lendemain matin, Joe se faufile hors de son immeuble pour rejoindre l'excursion, où il voit la campagne et l'océan pour la première fois. Après un pique-nique, un adulte bénévole lit aux enfants un conte fantaisiste tiré d'un livre de contes, l'histoire d'un jeune prince battu par une vieille sorcière. Un groupe de fées sauve le garçon, l'emmène sur un bateau et part pour «la terre au-delà du coucher du soleil, où il vécut heureux pour toujours». Joe s'imagine être le garçon de l'histoire.
