==Plot== |
|||
Donald enters a toy shop at [[Christmas]] to buy gifts for his nephews. He tries out several toys and breaks them all. For example, the head of a [[croquet]] mallet flies off the handle and hits the salesman in the nose. A [[boomerang]] hits the salesman in the back of the head. The salesman offers Donald a [[baseball bat]]. Donald asks if it is unbreakable. "Let's find out," the salesman suggests. He hits Donald over the head with it.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Barks |first=Carl |year=2011 |title=Walt Disney's Donald Duck "Lost in the Andes" |publisher=Fantagraphic Books |pages=199, also unpaged 'Story Notes' |isbn=978-1-60699-474-0}}</ref> |
