Just another day at McDuck Manor.

Scrooge McDuck was counting his gold.

Huey, Dewey, and Louie with playing catch.

Webby was having a tea party with her animals.

Mrs. Beakly was cleaning the house.

And Duckworth was also cleaning.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Duckworth answered it. 

A young woman stood in the doorway.

She was very beautiful.

She was holding a purse in one hand and a newspaper in the other

She was holding a purse in one hand and a newspaper in the other.

"May I help you, madam?" Duckworth asked.

"Hello. My name is Leela Tauras. I'm here to see Scrooge McDuck. I am answering to his ad for a private tutor and the other for a co pilot." She said with a sweet voice.

"Very well. Right this way, please." He said, showing her in.

She stepped inside.

Duckworth lead her to the sitting room. 

"Please wait here, while I inform Mr. McDuck of you presence, Miss Tauras." He said.

"Thank you." Leela said, taking a seat.

Just as Duckworth left, the boys came running into the sitting room.

Huey then threw the ball at Leela and she caught it before it could even hit her.

"Whoops. Sorry, miss." Huey said.

She smiled. 

"That's alright, sweetie. Just be more careful. You really shouldn't be throwing a ball in the house. Especially one like this." She said, handing back the ball.

"Who are you?" Louie asked.

"My name is Leela. I'm applying for the tutoring job and the co pilot position. And you boys are?" She said.

"Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Scrooge McDuck's nephews." They said at once.

"Ah. Well, it's a pleasure to meet you boys." She said.

"Do you mind if we ask you some questions?" Huey asked.

"Not at all." She said.

"Question one, do you know any games?" Huey asked.

"Many. I even put some games into study sessions." She said.

"Question two. Are you nice?" Dewey asked.

"Everyone says I am. I'm kind, but fair and I believe you should be kind to others no matter what." She said.

"Question three. Would you help us if we can't figure something out?" Louie asked.

"Of course. One, because it would be my job. And two, I love helping others when they need it." She said.

"Question four. We are supposed to be doing our homework, but you find us playing outside instead. What do you do?" Huey asked.

"I would try and arrange a time for you boys doing your homework, with a break in the middle. And a time for you boys to play." She said.

"Last question. What do you do for fun?" They asked together.

"Well, I love singing, acting, writing, drawing, designing, flying aircraft, reading books, and I love being out in the fresh air." She said.

"We hope you get the job. You're really cool." Dewey said.

"Thank you." She said.

Just then, Scrooge McDuck walked in. 

"Ah, Miss Tauras. Please come with me." He said.

She got up from her chair and followed Scrooge to his office. 

After about an hour, they stepped outside his office.

"Thank you, Leela. I hope you enjoy your time here at McDuck Mansion. I will look over your application for a co pilot as well." Scrooge said.

"Thank you, sir. I'll be by tomorrow with my things." She said.

"Very well." He said.

She walked out.

That night, Scrooge gathered the children together and told them about Leela. 

"Hooray! She got the job!" The boys cried.

"Well, I thought you wouldn't be happy about it." Scrooge said.

"Before we met her, we thought a tutor would be the pits, but she's a really nice woman." Huey said.

"We can't wait!" Dewey said.

"And we will do what we can to make her feel welcome." Louie said.

"I can't wait to meet her." Webby said.
