Plot
Donald Duck is collecting for charity, but everyone refuses to donate. Saddened by his failure he sits on a sidewalk next to a worker and tells him his troubles. The worker tells Donald that he was helped by charity once, and although he can't give too much, he still wants to donate. Donald is excited by the donation and gives the worker a "I Gave" button, which the worker proudly displays.
