The Coin That Could Not Be Spent

La moneda que no se podía gastar

Esteban has collected coins for thirty years, but the gold coin he finds at a flea market has a talent he never expected—it screams whenever someone lies. Now he can't spend it, and his neighbors are starting to avoid him.

Esteban llevaba treinta años coleccionando monedas. Tenía monedas romanas, monedas árabes y hasta una moneda china del siglo XII. Pero ninguna como la que encontró aquel sábado en el mercadillo de antigüedades.
