Synopsis:
The nephews have found a ten-dollar bill and Donald teaches them that the rightful owner should be located. But how does one find the true owner of a simple dollar bill?

Comments:
Donald goes to great lengths to give his nephews solid values in this story, but despite overwhelming odds against him - not to mention having to fight several battles along the way - he fulfills his self-chosen crusade of finding the rightful owner. The nephews are duly impressed...

Other examples:
But Donald has also tried to pass on a responsible parent's solid values on other levels. Two examples: In WDCS184 'Bath Battle' from 1955 he reacted firmly when the nephews refused to bathe and in the end he managed to persuade them that cleanliness is good for you. Later, in WDCS249 Stranger than Fiction from 1961 he very graphically demonstrated that the reading of science fiction pulp magazines is bad for you.

Synopsis:
Gyro invents an imagining machine by which one by force of thought can travel wherever he wants. Donald and the nephews pop up to Jupiter, where everything is much larger than on Earth!

Comments:
This is a case example of a story in which Donald really teaches his nephews a few things - in this case about comparative sizes - in an entertaining manner.

Other examples:
In WDCS274 Call of the Wild from 1963 they remain on Earth and Donald takes the nephews out to teach them how to survive in the wild. In WDCS214 'Flower Garden' from 1958 the ducks just stay in the garden when Donald decides to be an expert on flowers in order to help the nephews with a school project.
Donald has also tried to impart some knowledge to the nephews about live animals. In WDCS170 'The Ant Farm' from 1954 he thinks they should know about the smallest of creatures - the industrious ants - but they are not terribly interested. That they were in WDCS168 'Cheltenham the Mascot' from 1954 in which they wished for a small alligator for a pet. Donald taught them - the hard way - that this was not a good idea!

Synopsis:
The nephews are hired as messengers and they have to deliver a certain package within twenty minutes. But a lion stands in the way!!!

Comments:
Donald wishes to help his nephews, and they gratefully accept. And Donald really reaches his goal of helping the distressed nephews out of their fix.

Other examples:
This also happened in WDCS238 The Dog Sitter from 1960, where he took over the nephews' dog-sitting job. Furthermore, Donald volunteered to help the nephews out in their job as sellers of eggbeaters in WDCS039 Salesman Donald from 1943.

Synopsis:
Donald and the nephews are on vacation in the deep woods and Donald tries to take pictures of a deer. But it is not that cooperative...

Comments:
Donald is very versatile in his acts of responsibility in this story; not only does he instruct the nephews in setting up camp and how to behave in the forest, but he actually rescues their lives. This happens in connection with a big forest fire that would have killed them all, had Donald not been clear-sighted enough to know what to do.

Other examples:
In WDCS228 'To the Rescue' from 1959 Donald is a member of Duckburg's Watchful Parents Club and he takes the nephews down a wild river to prove that he can rescue them from anything anytime. In WDCS142 'Houseboat Vacation' from 1952 Donald arranges the perfect - and safe - summer vacation for his nephews with great thoughtfulness; he rents a house boat that will only float on shallow water, and there should be plenty of swimming and fishing.

Synopsis:
The joust between the Junior Woodchucks from Goosetown and Duckburg ends in a tie and now their trainers have to reach a decision. Donald acts for Duckburg...

Comments:
In this story Donald goes to great lengths in order to help his nephews and the JWs out of a predicament; he volunteers to take part in a boxing fight, although he has never tried that sort of thing before.

Other examples:
This was by far not the only time Donald helped his nephews out when they acted as boy scouts: In FC0367 A Christmas for Shacktown from 1952 and in WDCS294 Duck out of Luck from 1965 he repeated his willingness to help by trying to raise money for their movement, and in WDCS227 'Forest Hideout' from 1959 Donald volunteered to hide in the deep forest, so that the JWs could train in tracking him.
