When i read that story, i got different "meaning/impression" from that
story. The 1st page showed scrooge has a softer side for the animals. and at
the last page, he was seen using the "plate" to serve the birds the food.
though he was once a king, once it's over, scrooge saw the "plate" nothing
but mere old metal suited to feed the pigeons.

The "message" that i developed after reading that story is one can be a
ruler of the earth but eventually it's the little things that make ur inner
heart happy, not the things that make u "look" happy/powerful.

The same goes for the money he amassed, in stories by Barks, and later
stressed by Don, the money he collected act as a "time capsule".

But i hafta disagree with u Nils. Though the morale message(s) may be seemed
hard/tough for kids. But it's only because we read it as adults and we might
have been underestimate the children ability to learn the harsh things of
the world through a funny animal comic book medium. I could be wrong though.

I remember reading an Uncle Scrooge story when i was a kid. It was about the
goose that lays golden eggs and with gold feathers. the last message of the
lady is very deep but it made a deep impression on me even when i was a kid.

But the more i read Barks stories again and again when i reached older age,
i began to find other hidden details/message(s) in the stories.

So i believe that a funny animal comics such as Disney ducks, even though
have a hard/tough morale message, kids can absorb it at certain level and
will be able to fully understand it if they re-read it when they get more
mature.

Keep On Quacking,
