Jason's uncle has sent him on a quest for the Golden Fleece of a flying ram. Jason knew it would be tricky. But even he didn't imagine he'd face clashing rocks, man-eating birds and a murderous king.
This story is about Jason's adventure. Long ago in Greece, there lived a boy named Jason. He was supposed to become king of the island Iolcos, but his Uncle Pelias had stolen his throne. When he was old enough, he set off to Iolcos to win it back. On the way, he carried an old woman across a river, but he lost one of his sandals. The woman said "Don't worry. If you go on with just one sandal, you'll become a great hero." When he got to Iolcos, his Uncle Pelias was not pleased to see him. The gods had told him that a young man with only one sandal would come to take his throne. The king said "Well, I've a job for you first. Bring me the precious Golden Fleece, and the throne is yours!" with an evil smile. Jason gulped, but he agreed. After that, he left from Iolcos to a place known as Colchis. Will he accomplish the mission?
