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.
How can I not remember?!

That's 'Donald Duck in Secret of Hondorica'. (DD 46).

Hondorica is a combination of two country names. Honduras and ...
What is the name of the other country? (Egg does not know.)

That's from the jet-motors ten page, the one where Donald is trapped on a mountain with Miss Swansdown-Swoonsudden.
