The Adventures of Mickey Matson and the Copperhead Treasure Page #2

We all do.

He'd want you to remember the

good times you two had together.

Can I go to my room now?

Hang up your good clothes,

honey.

I don't know

what your father was thinking

Giving him that stone.

He thought he was ready.

Ready for what?

To run off

on some wild goose chase of his?

He's still a little boy.

I don't even think

he's ready for junior high.

He lost his grandfather.

He doesn't need

to be disappointed by him too.

Ready?

Oh, yeah, I'm ready.

Set. Go.

Hey, you're getting faster.

Try again.

I'll never be as fast as you.

Oh, you'll be even faster.

This knot

will come in handy someday.

It's a strong knot.

Won't slip.

Did you use it

in the coast guard?

Oh, almost every day.

Got me out

of a lot of tight spots.

This is for you.

It's been used

for quite a while.

I've just been looking after it

for you.

Grandpa,

I can't take this from you.

I know

you'll take good care of it.

It doesn't keep time very well,

So...

Be sure you keep winding it.

But it will always point you

In the right direction.

See here.

You point the hour hand

towards the sun.

You place a blade of grass

on across the face of the watch,

Right between

the hour hand and 12:00.

The grass

points north and south.

That's so cool!

Love you, gramps.

Love you too, Mickey.

I'm sorry.

I can't do this.

Don't you touch them raisinets,

boy.

You want me to give you

another whupping?

Ah!

Eat your dang prune Danish.

You know the general puts it out

for you for regularity.

Boy, you need help,

I'll tell ya.

That gas you had last night

was disgusting.

You keep eating cherries

and candy like that,

You'll get fat, fat, fat.

You won't even be able to ride

your hog.

You might have made a less

noticeable entrance into town.

I heard you coming

from a mile away.

Yes, general.

We need not raise eyebrows.

One of the elements

has surfaced.

The Petoskey stone.

Well, where is it?

It was bestowed

to a runt of a boy.

Who's gonna give it to a kid?

Jack Bettys.

Ugh.

He must've been desperate.

Now, I don't think the boy

is even properly trained.

Well, if he's just a kid,

Why don't we just go snatch it

from him?

No, no, no, no, no.

We will be patient.

And when the time is right,

We will reclaim

what is rightfully ours.

And our glorious flag will fly

proudly across this community

And every other

around the nation.

Not a normal breakfast.

Nope.

It's lunch.

Taking a friend

on a bike ride...

To coffer woods.

Coffer woods?

Mickey, that's too far.

You know...

No, it's not too far.

I'm not a little kid anymore.

So this friend,

Would it be the girl

that was climbing down our porch

When we got home last night?
