MB> It's W WDC 271-01 (published April 1963) Donald Duck "A
MB> Stone's Throw from Ghost Town", a ten-pager.

HF> That's what I (secretly) guessed too. 8-)

MB> I remember this one very well, because I was puzzled as a
MB> young child that
MB> the seller called the spring a "spring".... (figure this in
MB> the Italian translation!!!)

HF> In the Dutch translation, they changed the artwork! The spring became a
HF> bottle of water (Spa)...

In the Brazilian translation, they (easily) changed the spring to a
curled rubber hose, and changed the text to "... and great mango [trees]", since
in Portuguese the word "mangueira" means "mango tree" and also "hose". ;-)

     Tchau,
