The Lost Medallion: The Adventures of Billy Stone

Oh, see, you just got

a little sand on you.

You're ok?

Daniel?!

Hey Ms. Sally.

It's so good

to see you.

You too.

I brought a few

things for the kids.

Can I just leave

them on the table?

Oh, thank you, Daniel.

That's fine.

Can you stay

for a while?

I'm actually on my way to

see the game at the stadium.

The playoffs?

Yeah. Right behind

the dig-out.

Well, look at you.

How are you?

I'm good.

I see a few kids

I've not seen before.

Yeah, we brought three more

in from other foster homes.

My heart just goes

out to them.

It's never easy

for them to adjust.

That's Billy over there,

under the tree.

Hardly ever says a word.

And then there's Allie,

little girl with the red hair.

So insecure.

She said to me

the other day

"do you think God ever

makes people by accident."

I just wanted to melt.

And then, that's huko,

the boy in the blue.

WE'VE HAD A LITTLE

TROUBLE WITH HIM.

He likes to be

king around here.

I'm gonna knock home run

on that boy, be right back.

Huko!

HUKO,

GIVE ME THE BAT.

Are you here

to tell us a story?

A story?

We always hear

stories on Tuesday.

I'm sorry, Daniel.

Lisa, Ms. jessie

isn't feeling well today,

she'll be here

next week, okay?

Will you tell us one?

Um, I don't think my story'd

be as good as Ms. jessie's.

Oh, well, that's ok.

COME ON, COME ON,

COME ON EVERYONE!

Come on, come on,

it's story time.

It's story time!

Yeah!

Awesome!

Are you sure

you have time?

Um, a little time, yes.

A story, no.

Hey, get out

of my seat.

Ok, story time, huko cool it,

walking stick,

thank you very much.

Daniel, I'm gonna go fix their

snacks while you tell the story.

Ok.

So, what kind

of story is this?

Tell a scary one!

No, tell a funny one!

Just don't make it boring.

Why would it be boring?

It's not gonna be boring,

it's gonna be funny.

Ok, I've got a story.

It's a little bit scary,

it's a little bit funny,

and it's got a lot of action.

YES!

This story is called,

"the lost medallion".

Cool!

So, what's

a medallion?

Isn't that like a big

piece of fruit.

No-that's a melon.

Oh.

A medallion is

something very special

that you put

around your neck.

Like a gold medal.

Yes, like a gold medal,

but this one, was magical.

Now this story has three

very special kids in it.

The first, is a young

prince named huko.

Hey, that's my name!

The second was a beautiful

young girl named Allie.

And the third was a clever

boy named Billy.

Hey, that boy over

there is named Billy.

Hey, is your name

really Billy?

You May wanna come

hear this story.

He doesn't talk a lot.

I don't think

he's very smart.

Well, I know a lot of smart

people who are very quiet.

And I know some people

who talk too much

even though they're

not very smart.

Yeah, you talk

all the time.

Ok, now listen up.

Our story begins

a long, long time ago,

on a far,

far away island.

A kind-hearted king

melted down his crown

and shaped it into a medallion

with a special

stone in the middle.

The king did this

to show his people

that everybody was important,

and that no one person was

born greater than another.

Because of this humble act,

the medallion took

on special powers,

granting wishes to

the pure in heart.

With this powerful medallion,

the king used it to grow crops

from barren soil.

He saved his people

from deadly storms.

The king even

protected his village

from an evil warlord's

invading armies.

But one day, the king's

prideful son, huko,

took the medallion

and lost the stone,

causing it to lose

its power.

Without the power of the

stone to protect the island,

the evil warlord cobra,

conquered the peaceful people.

But just before he

seized the medallion,

the good king rescued it,

and escaped.

Where is it?

Did the king die?

Yes.

What

about the medallion?

Well, the

medallion stayed hidden for a long time.

No one found it, even though

many people looked for it.

And that brings us to the

next part of the story,

and a young boy named Billy.

I want you

out of here.

I said I want you off

this site, right now.

Let me help you.

You can't help.

I can clean tools, take notes,

get coffee, dig holes.

You're too young

for this kind of work.

I'll do anything

you need.

Promise?

Yeah, I promise.

Go home.

But dad,

there's no one there.

Ah, you know,

we could use an archeologist

like you on our team.

Cobb appreciates your talents

while certain others do not.

Are you kidding me?

Give me that.

Get lost

you little brat!

What do you think,

Mr. Cobb?

Our families have

been searching

for the medallion

for generations.

But this kid,

he's onto something.

Keep an eye on him.

Not to worry, we come from

a long line of trackers.

Oh...

Hey, you know,

you weren't created to fly,

at least not like that.

You know, from that height,

at your weight,

you'd need at least

four-and-a-half times

more surface area.

Where'd you

get that idea?

It's amazing what you

can find in a book.

You should open

one sometime.

What I'm looking for

can't be found in a book.

Did you get

kicked out again?

Yeah.

My dad's never

gonna let me join him.

Well, did you find

anything interesting?

Nothing... yet...

But someday the entire

world will be changed

when I find the medallion.

When we find

the medallion.

And so, the spider

sees the fly.

Well, see you

tomorrow.

Bye.

Hey, I almost forgot,

I found this at

a used bookstore.

It's some kind of antiquarian

journal about our island.

A what journal?

An old journal.

You should give

it a read,

you might find something

kind of interesting.

See ya.

Hey, how was

school today.

Dad, you okay?

It's over Billy.

What's over?

Cobb shut me down.

You owe the bank,

not him.

He is the bank, Billy.

He now owns everything

now, including the dig site.

I give up.

No dad you can't give up!

We can't give up.

I've lost everything

for what?

For some non-existent medallion.

You know mom would

tell you that it exists.

It's in the ground somewhere,

I can feel it, I know it.

Everything that has

ever meant anything to me.

It's all buried

in the ground.

Billy, I want you

to have this.

It's been in my

family for a long time.

And I know, it doesn't

look like much,

but there is something

very special about it.

I love you, honey.

He's reading a book.

Right, well, we sleep not,

till this mission be complete.

What are you doing!??

I was gonna

ask you that!

I wanted to

talk to you.

I'm gonna

run away.

What?

Why?

I want to

find my mom.

You don't even

know where she is.

I know where she isn't,

the orphanage.

Read anything interesting?

No, I haven't

even read it yet.

Listen, promise me that

you won't run away

and we'll read

it together.

Read this one,

June 18th, 1827.

Entry by moheya, she's the

one who wrote this journal.

"His eyes are filled with

the passion of waves

"on a summer day,

his arms are as strong

as the mountains."

There's no way, I'm reading

this romantic stuff.
