Read the excerpt from "Jason and the Golden Fleece." “I am a stranger here, and know of no oracle,” Jason replied. “But what of my sandal? I lost it as I crossed the river Anauros.” The old man sighed and said, “I will tell you, for it could mean your death if I do not. Beware how you speak at Pelias’s palace, for he is the cruelest and most cunning of kings, and the oracle at Delphi has said that a man wearing one sandal will take the kingdom from Pelias and keep it for himself.” Then Jason laughed a great laugh. “Good news,” he said, “for both you and me. That is exactly why I have come.” And he strode on toward the palace, while all the people wondered at his noble bearing. Which detail from the excerpt best shows that Jason is confident he'll become king?
