An Introduction
SCROOGE MCDUCK was the wealthiest Duck on the planet. He was proud of the fact that he had accomplished his goal, and had done so honestly. Not many could boast of such success. The years of hard work and being surrounded by thieves had made him shrewd, suspicious to the point of trusting no one, and greedy. Now that he had his fortune he spent his days making more money and taking care of his grandnephews and Webby. She was the granddaughter of the nanny he hired for the boys. Before the boys had come to live with him, in the process of making his money he lost his family, his young adult life, and almost himself. He had become so consumed with money that he offended his sisters and they moved out leaving him to lead a life alone with his money. His grandnephews had been living with him for three years at this point and had softened his hard exterior to reveal a side of himself he had almost lost. Being forced into guardianship of boys so much like himself made him conscious of the example he set for them. He was still a shrewd businessman, but now he tried harder to be a better person. He was already known for being an avid bargain hunter and being greedy but what people didn't know was that he would have been those things even more than he already was if it wasn't for the boys.
WEBBY, like the boys, brought out good in him. Through her goodness she showed him how to be more kind to people outside of his family. She was kind to those he wasn't. Deep down he knew she was right, and when she was being nice and he wasn't it bothered him but not enough to make him change what he was doing. Webby was the kind of girl that could weasel her way into his heart and make herself comfortable before he knew what hit him.
HUEY, DEWEY, AND LOUIE were Scrooge's grandnephews. They were smart, resourceful, and they knew how to get what they wanted. These were the very traits that reminded McDuck of himself. The boys had lived with their parents; their uncle, Donald Duck; and now Scrooge. They were a little rough around the edges because of this but they were still good kids. Now they were eleven but they had come to live with Scrooge when they were eight.
This is their story.
