Anything but those!

[Moss, Thomas]

     The urn of diamonds is from a (I believe) Barks story where
Scrooge, Donald, Huey, Dewey and Louie fly to another country where
there is a flock of birds destroying the country's rice crops.  The King
is offering an urn full of diamonds to anyone who can rid the country of
the birds.  Scrooge has a bunch of mechanical brass monkeys that he is
unable to sell because the tone made when their cymbals crash together
is annoying, and Donald, conveniently, has finished a correspondence
course in bell-tuning.  Donald has the idea to tune the brass monkeys'
cymbals to a different frequency to chase the birds out of the country
and Scrooge can sell all of the brass monkeys to the King and get the
urn full of diamonds. I apologize, but I can't remember the name of the
story, but if I come across it, I will post it.  Can anyone else
remember what the story's title is?

Donald is wearing the Lost Crown of Genghis Khan (from the Barks story
by
the same name) and admiring himself in the reflection from one of the
Spanish suits of armor from Barks' "Prize of Pizzaro." He's standing
next
to an urn of diamonds (I don't think they're from any story, but I could
be wrong; I'm doing this from memory) and in the iced bucket behind him
is the Bombastium from "A Cold Bargain" by Barks.
