Stories

• Maharajah Donald · 28 pages

  Starting with a mere pencil stub, and through an unlikely series of events, Huey, Dewey, and Louie trade-up to a steamship ticket to India, which Donald gloms for himself forcing the boys to stow away on the very same ship. Aboard ship and facing consequences for unknowingly harboring his stowaway nephews, Donald meets the wealthy Maharajah of Hoopadoola, who offers to resolve the Ducks' matters with the steamship line for a favor in return. The favor? Riding an old, gentle, sacred elephant across a narrow river to a neighboring kingdom. What possible harm could there be in such a gesture?

• The Peaceful Hills · 2 pages

  Shunning his nephews' choice of entertainment, loud western movies with "blazing sixguns" and "thundering hooves", Donald opts for a hike in the peaceful hills "peopled only by the quiet, friendly creatures of the wild"... and is sorry he did.
