Question for Gary Leach or Don Rosa or anyone else who owns this comic in 
its original American English language. The story is "Rocket Reverie".

I wonder, what was the ending like? I mean... what were in the dialogue 
balloons? I've seen the story twice in Norwegian (in a Donald Duck & Co 
once this summer and in the brand new "Hall of Fame" series), and it had 
quite different endings.

First ending in Norwegian: "We looked up in the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook 
and found that we could hitch-hike with a comet!"

Second ending in Norwegian: ["naut" is a Norwegian word for cattle, though 
I doubt many use it] "We looked up ASTRONAUT in the Junior Woodchuck 
Guidebook and found that we could catch the [nauts|cattle] with lasso!" 
(now, THAT'S what I call a silly translation. I thought EVERYBODY could see 
that that comet were not an astronaut!)
