one night, scrooge mcduck and launchpad go back to manor mcduck. when scrooge enters the mansion, he discovers that it is his birthday (which is weird because the show depicts it as a summer night whereas scrooge's real birthday is in the winter or very late fall) and his family prepared a surprise party. scrooge is unhappy because he is old. when mrs. beakley mentions the fountain of youth, scrooge runs to the library. there he finds a book that talks about "ponce de loon", a spanish explorer who said he found the fountain of youth in florida.
