==Description==
Donald Duck is sent into the Forest by Walt Disney to scout for new talent. He happens upon the Dwarfs' Cottage — failing, at first, to recognize it as the home of his friendly acquaintances the Dwarfs. For their part, the Dwarfs themselves somehow become convinced that the cheerful, oddly-dressed man knocking at their door and enticing them to come out is a new disguise of the Old Witch!

==Behind the scenes==
This story was first printed in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #43, tying in with a theatrical rerelease of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs; when the movie was once more rereleased on July the 17th, 1987, Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #523 reprinted the story with the last speech bubbled altered to no longer mention the radio-play release of the story, but instead give the "July the 17th" date.
During its revue on Duck Comics Revue, the story was criticised for its strangely laid-back characterization of Donald Duck, which, combined with the metafictional idea of Donald being a "famous actor" acquainted with "Walt", prompted a discussion in which reviewer GeoX and frequent commenters "Elaine", Chris Barat and Joe Torcivia took part, wherein which they hypothesized that this story took place in a universe where the anger-prone cartoon Donald really was nothing but a part plaid by "Donald Duck, the Famous Actor", a much quieter individual who likely did not even speak in quacks, instead being dubbed in most (but not all) of his appearances by Clarence Nash.
