00:07 Who's got the sweetest disposition?
00:09 One guess, guess who?
00:12 Who never, never starts an argument?
00:15 Who never shows a bit of temperament?
00:18 Who's never wrong, but always right?
00:21 Who'd never dream of starting a fight?
00:24 Who gets stuck with all the bad luck?
00:27 No one but Donald Duck!
00:30 Have you ever heard of a "Boodle Beetle"?
00:36 Well, confidentially, neither have we.
00:38 But it seems that long ago, these little creatures were plentiful.
00:42 But because of an inborn love for travel and adventure,
00:45 the "Boodle Beetle" is now a rare little bug.
00:48 The bug collector, er, the entomologist,
00:52 regards this little bug as a prize for his collection.
00:55 [music]
00:59 Going somewhere, sonny?
01:03 I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry if I were you.
01:06 There's danger lurking out in them woods,
01:09 and you're just setting yourself for a heap of trouble.
01:12 You know, there's not many of us "Boodles" left,
01:16 and it's just because too many of them have set out across that stream
01:20 and never come back.
01:22 And here you go, setting your cap for the same medicine.
01:26 Sit down, sonny, and let me tell you a story.
01:30 [music]
01:33 When I was a young pup and full of vinegar,
01:37 just like yourself,
01:39 I had ideas of adventure, too.
01:42 So, I packed my bag and said goodbye to my home.
01:47 I'm a little funny about this sentimental stuff.
01:51 And set out for what was going to be the doggone-est adventure.
01:57 I'll have to admit, it was pretty fascinating at first.
02:00 [music]
02:04 Well, I never had anything like this hap--
02:16 Uh-oh. What's this?
02:19 Big, tall things that disappear in the sky.

02:38 [thunder]
02:40 Phew. A bug sure has to be careful when he's out looking for adventure.
02:45 But unknown to me at the time,
02:47 there was lurking in the forest a horrible monster.

03:04 [grumbling]
03:06 Well, I guess I must have walked hundreds of miles that first day.
03:11 I was just picking them up and laying them down.
03:16 I just didn't feel up to it.
03:20 So I thought I'd lay down for a little shut-eye and tackle it in the morning.
03:25 Well, suddenly I had the feeling I wasn't alone.
03:30 And there on top of the mountain I saw a most amazing thing.
03:35 Well, being a curious little fellow, I decided to investigate.
03:39 And there it was. A horrible monster millions of feet high.
03:44 I sneaked out to get a better look, and suddenly it moved.
03:49 Huh? I looked again. Two hideous eyes glared at me.
03:53 [music]
03:56 [music]
03:59 A poodle-bigger. That's him.
04:01 Hooray! I got him! I got him!
04:04 [laughing]
04:06 Come on, small fry. That's not much of a time.
04:10 [laughing]
04:12 Oh, no, you don't, you little schmuck.
04:15 You're gonna get away from us, you little...
04:18 [music]
04:20 [music]
04:23 I'll get you, you little brat!

04:52 [music]
04:55 That's him. How do you like it, Schroeder?
04:59 [laughing]
05:02 [laughing]
05:04 Then you want to go travel safe and sound.
05:07 So, there I was. Headed for I don't know what.
05:12 It was simply terrifying.
05:16 I tried again and again to escape.
05:18 But it was no use.
05:21 If only I had listened to Mama.
05:24 Just take a look. The famous Professor Duck.
05:29 Oh, boy. I can just not go duck.
05:32 Now what?
05:34 The door opened, and there he was.
05:37 Suddenly, I realized that this was my last chance.
05:40 It was now or never.
05:42 He's gone.

06:15 Well, sir. I was one happy little bug.
06:19 And do you think I cared what folks thought about the sentimental stuff?
06:23 No, sirree.
06:26 [music]
06:28 So, you see, Sonny. Home isn't such a bad place after all.
06:33 [music]
06:35 [music]
06:37 [laughing]
06:39 Oh, I was just thinking.
06:43 For all I know, that monster may be looking for me yet.
06:46 [crash]
06:48 Oh, Mr. Biggle. I bet you're not staying on too.
