It's an image: the ducks going fast over of one those-- I can't recall the name; those bridges you find in the Andes; they travel fast by different means. I think at one point they are in the mountains, possibly on mules or donkeys, and Donald explains he tied a hornet in a cage to the tail of each animal to spur it-- hence the crazy speed at such dizzying heights, and the quotation, from the nephews.
I cannot remember the story, though. There's a race, obviously, maybe with Gladstone.
