Inducks description: Wishing black stones in South Seas' island

Additional credits: In his 1969 list of work for Western, Barks wrote about this story: "Got this idea from my daughter."

Backstage: In the beginning of the story, a radio service man helps the nephews play an april fool trick on Donald by faking a radio newscast. In a 1971 letter Barks mentioned a (text_s_radio_joke,default,similar joke) played on colleague Harry Reeves during his story department years.

Questions: Is the story's radio gag a recollection of this joke from the cartoon years, or did it also belong to the idea by Barks' daughter?
