The first Disney story that I read

[Ola Martinsson]

Some time ago this was up I see so I'm a bit late but anyhow.

As I remember there wasn't anyone that really could tell what their 
first Disney story was ? But I do. I was six years and both me and my 
younger sister (four) got the same comic book. I don't know why we got 
the same but I suppose that my sister wanted the same as me.

The first story I read was The oil well in Swedish Kalle Anka & c:o nr 
16 1967. I had only seen some shorts on the cinema before I read this one.
I remember that I didn't understand much when I first read it. Donald 
and the boys are dressed like beggers and visit another duck (Scrooge) 
that swims in a swimming pool full of money. Then they have to work for 
Scrooge and trade their car for some old hut because DD knows that there 
is oil there. And then there are lots of  oil towers that lower the oil 
level so that Scrooge gets it all. Not very much in common with the 
shorts there! I was quite puzzled i remember.

The end story in that issue was the Paul Murry Mysterious forest fires. 
I remember that I thought that this story was very exciting and what was 
going to happen to Mickey caught up in a tree with a fire behind him.

I still have this issue but the cover is long gone and it has been 
mended with tape, but still it gives me a nostalgic feeling to look at 
it. I still have all my old comics but this first Donald Duck is special 
to me.

For what its worth
