Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge #22
In "Going to Pieces," Carl Barks delivers a delightfully quirky tale where Scrooge’s obsession with his money pile takes a surreal turn when a dry spell threatens his fortune. Taken to a mountain cabin by Donald and the nephews for a break, Scrooge finds himself drawn into the strange, almost magical events that unfold after Dewey reads him "The King of the Golden River"—a story that seems to echo in the world around them. With Carl Barks handling every aspect of the interior art and storytelling, and his distinctive touch on the cover, this 1958 Dell classic captures the whimsy and quiet wonder of a tale where gold flows like water, and even the most cautious soul might just believe in miracles.

Scrooge, more miserly than ever because dry weather is shrinking his money pile, is taken to a mountain cabin by Donald and the nephews for the sake of his nerves. There, Dewey reads him the story of "The King of the Golden River," a story that comes true, after a fashion, when a waterfall near the cabin starts flowing intermittently with gold.
