Tina: Oh no!
Danny: What’s the matter?
Tina: Where did Hopian go?
Danny: He’s a big guy.
He can take care of himself.
Danny: Do you smell something?
Tina: It smells good!
Brad: It smells like breakfast to me!
All three: Good morning, Hopian.
Hopian: Good morning. I’ve cooked some breakfast.
Have a seat.
Danny: Uh, maybe we’ll eat on the floor.
Hopian: I’ve got an idea.
Hopian: Eat your breakfasts.
You’ll need your strength.
Hopian: Meanwhile, I'll tell you about Tristay.
Hopian: This information might help you.
Hopian: He’s been stealing the color from our world.
Hopian: When Tristay was growing up, he was normal.
Hopian: He was just like any other giant.
Hopian: As a young giant, I had many friends.
Hopian: Tristay wasn’t as lucky as me.
Hopian: He never played with me or my friends.
Hopian: We would ask him to join us, but he never would.
Hopian: Perhaps it was because his fur wasn’t as bright as ours.
Hopian: Then one day he did something mean.
Hopian: He threw a rock at me and hurt me.
Hopian: I got angry and chased him.
Hopian: I was bigger than Tristay, but he was faster.
Hopian: I chased him toward the mountain.
Brad: Did you catch him?
Hopian: No. As he ran up the mountain, rocks got loose [n3@and rolled down behind him.
Hopian: They blocked the path so no one could follow.
Hopian: He made it all the way to the top.
Hopian: The path up the mountain is still blocked today.
Danny: So you never got back at him?
Hopian: I didn’t want to hurt him.
Hopian: I just wanted to tell him that he had hurt me.
Hopian: But something happened to Tristay on that mountaintop.
Tina: What?
Hopian: When he reached the top, Tristay sat down and cried.
Hopian: He was full of jealousy and hate.
Hopian: His tears were black and they fell everywhere.
Hopian: He didn’t know it then, but the mountaintop is full of magic.
Hopian: He slammed his fist against the ground. Sparks flew.
Hopian: He didn’t notice the sparks, but he felt different.
Hopian: He reached for the nearest object.
Hopian: It was a red flower.
Suddenly it became gray.
Brad: Is that when he started stealing color?
Hopian: I don’t know.
No one saw him for many years.
Hopian: My friends and I grew up and forgot about him.
Hopian: Now he’s back.
And he’s using his power to steal our color.
Danny: We have to stop him.
