This is a delightful story, and so helpful in teaching morals to children the fun way. --drboisclair 23:52, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

The description mentions the valley being flooded by Southwest Wind Esquire - is this correct? I thought Southwest Wind Esquire did quite the opposite and kept the rains away - turning it into a desert of red sand. Aghillo (talk) 08:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

I checked. My edition is completely different to the one in Wikisource - interesting! Aghillo (talk) 06:53, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

South West Wind, Esq. left the roof on over Gluck's room but blew it off Hans and Schwartz's room. The floodwaters that came as a result of the inundation accompanying SWW,esq.'s attack washed all away and left the red sand, which was a consequence of the inundation. I am surprized that there is such a difference! The work was composed in English, so there should be no variance. Perhaps the Wikisource text needs to be emended.--Drboisclair (talk) 16:55, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm very curious: what is the difference you have found between your version of the story and the one in Wikisource because the two editions I have confirm what is in Wikisource?--Drboisclair (talk) 17:02, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

It may be of some interest that Carl Barks made Ruskin's story the basis and centerpiece of his 1958 comic book tale Uncle Scrooge and the Golden River. There also exists a parody of the story also starring Donald Duck, published in 1961 in Italy, written by Guido Martina; it has recently seen its first printing in the universe by Fantagraphics. Where in the article would it be appropriate to mention these facts, and with what sort of sources? Scrooge MacDuck (talk) 14:30, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
