- Description: In the parody of 'Around the World In Eighty Days', it is Uncle Scrooge rather than Phileas Fogg who makes a bet with other members of his club. In this case it is the Billionaires Club, and he bets that he can go around the world in eight days - without spending a penny. He sets off not with Passepartout, but with Donald Duck, and they travel by air - in an improvised hot-air balloon - rather than by sea. In India, Donald's choice of transport is a sacred cow rather than an elephant. This sacrilege leads to his arrest, and he then has to be rescued by Uncle Scrooge. The parody concludes with Uncle Scrooge's arrival back at the Billionaires Club within the time limit. However, he loses the bet because Donald took a 20-cent bus ride...

I turisti di Cook erano arrivati e con loro passai più tempo possibile, andando a pranzo e a cena alla loro table d'hôte. Dovevano essere circa centottanta e mi assicurarono divertimento e insegnamenti a non finire. Arrivano in una città come locuste ed è un duro lavoro per noi habitués trovare cibo e alloggio durante la loro permanenza. Gli abitanti dicevano: "Ma hum Sayyahin: Hum Kukiyyeh", (questi non sono viaggiatori, sono Cookii); tuttavia non si può non lodare il signor Cook e la sua organizzazione. Dà la possibilità a migliaia di persone, che altrimenti starebbero a casa, di godere dell'éducation d'un voyage, e il viaggio è una necessità per "la nostra ristretta mentalità insulare". Aprirà al turismo paesi ora difficilmente accessibili; il gruppo di Cook non sarà maltrattato o depredato laddove un individuo da solo difficilmente riuscirebbe ad entrare. Il turismo crescerà invece di diminuire, e ogni anno si vedranno nuovi progressi.
