[ She chuckles. Sure, mocking Scrooge is easy, but sharing his lore is just as fun, and she does love the old coot. Plus, it'll pass time for their stomachs to digest so they can eat more! ]

Oh, he definitely wasn't born with any loot. Scrooge McDuck, firstborn of Fergus and Downy McDuck, had to scrape by without much to him but his name. But he was determined to make a better life for himself and his family. His first job was cleaning and scraping the dirt and mud off passing workers... and his first customer gave him an American dime. But that's pretty much worthless when you're living in Scotland!

But it instilled in him a lifelong lesson to never be tricked like that again. From then on, he'd be tougher than the toughies, smarter than the smarties, and sharper than the sharpies - and he'd make it square!
