A Duck tale

(Photo by Diane Finlayson)

This is Donald... Donald is brave and fast. He is the bravest and fastest duck on earth. In fact, his nickname is DUCKMAN! Like in

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo DUCKMAN! DUCKMAN!
(This is supposed to sound like the main theme of Batman....)

Within a split second, Donald can do things other ducks can only dream of. Uncle Scrooge has ordered him to find the cheapest dental clinic in the world, so off he goes!

His trip around the world of dentistry first brings him to China, where Uncle Scrooge can save some extra money because they do not do anaesthetics there... For a few wonderful moments, Donald considers ending the trip right there and then.

He travels on to Thailand and then to Eastern Europe. In some waterproof bags under his wings are hundreds of quotes. He has highlighted some of the text:

GET A LIFETIME GUARANTEE!!! Provided that you visit our clinic in Beijing every month.

TWENTY CROWNS WITHIN ONE HOUR!!! Quality checks are forbidden.

CHEAP DENTAL IMPLANTS!!! Made by my nephew, who is a mechanic in Saskatchewan.

FULL DENTURES FOR A SMALL PRICE!!! My grandmother wore them for years.

When he gives them to Scrooge, his uncle explodes in rage. Donald ducks just in time and off he goes again!


This time he takes Daisy with him. They start and stay in Bulgaria, spend some lovely days at the Black Sea and a few weeks later, Uncle Scrooge has his cheap gold teeth.
