en	Christmas is approaching, and the nephews are extremely interested by a construction kit of giant size. They ask their uncle Donald, and Donald is OK to buy them a kit, at one condition: that they find what he wants for Christmas. The nephews think of every conceivable present for Donald, and make a long list of everything they can think of, but don't find what Donald's secret wish is. They ask the whole Duck family to help them, but to no avail. Donald decides to buy them a kit in any case, and the uncles, cousins, grandma and relative also do so separately. They also decide to buy Donalds's secret wish independantly, a car! The nephews and Donald end up with multiple copies of their birthday presents. (by 210...140, history)
