	Hey Fernando,

>I want to know more about Carl Buettner's story "The Three Caballeros"
>(http://coa.duckburg.dk/coa/c1/story.php/0/W+WDC++50-06), maybe a
>description, for example.

	Jose Carioca and Panchito visit Donald in Duckburg. José and
Panchito are shown as foolish country bumpkins who have never been to a big
city or to Donald's country, and have no idea what to expect. They cause
accidents with an American football. They cause a cart horse to run away,
leaving a path of destruction. At a soda fountain, Jose floods the place
with soda water. Most of the damage is blamed on Donald, who takes all of
the punishment.
	At the end of the story, Donald is jailed by a cop. Jose and
Panchito wave goodbye to him in prison, cheerfully promising to visit again
when Donald gets out. They don't even seem to care that their friend has
been jailed, or to understand what it means.
	Not a great highlight of Jose's or Panchito's careers.

	David
