Ducks and knowledge

[Dim I Nticoudis]

  I seem you noticed that Scrooge knows a great number of languages.One of 
the things that always fascinated me about the Ducks is than unlike Mickey 
they are only looking for a passtime.They travel the world seeking 
adventure,fortune,glory and knowledge.
  Scrooge does know a lot more languages than Enlish.He must be a fast 
learner.Many stories including Rosa's imply he has a large library.The books 
contained threre vary from old Spanish,Dutch and other jurnals(including the 
McDucks' chronicles from Vicar's stories),financial books,history 
books,occult books,science books etc.Many of them appear to be rare 
editions.Scrooge seems to have various interests.
  Donald is no ignorant too.He speaks the Tralaleans Thibetean dialect 
fluently while he is there for only a little time.He has learned to do lots 
of jobs during the year.Anything from businessman and commando to artist and 
gardener.He must be a fast learner too.
  Huey,Dewey and Louie are the best Junior Woodchucks ever according to 
Rosa.They sure keep learning from this book of theirs and from their 
travels.They have learned to translate about any language they came upon.
  Magica is a totaly different case.She is a sorceress borned into a hole 
family of them.She has natural powers but she chose to be even stronger by 
studying the occult.In Barks stories she translates ancient scripts without 
help and she is Circe's succesor.There is harldly a story with Magica in 
which she doesn't learn and study more.Mainly the reason why the witch is 
one of my favorites.Tradition,power and self-education.
  While Mickey usualy helps the police in his own city without gaining a 
thing or travels around with no apparent purpose.When I was a boy I thought 
he was a slacker.He never appears to be learning a thing.
  The Ducks are charachters with depth while Mickey is a lazy American 
traveling the world with no purpose,no gain.Have you ever thought about 
that?
