<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I read again the El Dorado story about two days ago
and the intrigue tends to summarize a lot of elements which are presents but
separated sometimes in the Barks' stories: the chance of Gladstone Gander
(Gontran Bonheur in french) with its part of humorous situation, the adventurous
Donald and his nephews searching for an expensive rare stamp in the jungle, the
collectors everywhere (and thus the rivalry everywhere), even at the end of the
world, searching for the same unique thing; the adventure in the jungle reminds
me of the beginning of the 'Raiders of the lost ark'; the story ends nicely for
Donald, whereas the lucky Gladstone, by accident, without doing anything, wins a
fortune in bucks for the precious stamp; this is a part of the final plot, how
this precious stamp is gotten by him suddenly, after a tremendous adventure in
the jungle with a golden giant, and thanks to the mail
administration.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
