The news of Fred's efforts spread across Bedrock™ faster than he could say "YABBA-DABBA-DOO™!" Upon his return to Bedrock™, he had so many questions to answer to the reporters.
"You have obtained a glorious amount of wealth, sir," one reporter from the BBC said. "What are your plans to do with it?"
"I want to give twenty million clams, or 40%, to my lifelong friend and former neighbour, Barney Rubble," said Fred. "Throughout my adventure, he agreed to assist me, but I cannot and will not forget something that he had done on the Dino Express."
"What did he do?" a female reporter asked.
"Fred and I found a man whose body was very badly cut," explained Barney, "and the man who had done the dirty deed had just escaped. I made a very wise decision, despite my lack of medical experience, to check his pulse, and the victim was indeed still alive."
Reporters from all over gasped.
"I am mainly giving this share of money," continued Fred, "to my friend because he does not have sufficient funds to move back. Of course, the government will get its fair share from both of us, but I am very pleased with my immense wealth."
The Daily Slate had a headline that read, in large letters, "BEDROCKER FINDS HIDDEN TREASURE!" The Bedrock™ Gazette read "NEW WEALTH PEAKS IN BEDROCK™!" while the Daily Granite had the article "YABBA-DABBA-DOO™! PITCHBLENDE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE."
In the Daily Slate, Fred looked at his article. "'Could this be the first millionaire in Bedrock™?'" he read. "'Probably not, but it is among an unprecedented peak in history.'"
Fred was soon interrupted by a marching band outside his door, playing a familiar song that he knew from anywhere.
"YABBA-DABBA-DOO™!" he cried as the whole town sang:
"Flintstones, meet the Flintstones
They're the modern Stone Age Family
From the town of Bedrock™
They're a place right out of history
Let's ride with the family down the street
Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet
When you're with the Flintstones
Have a Yabba-dabba-doo™ time
A dabba-doo time
We'll have a gay old time!"
