The story

What Is Self Control About?

The premise of Self Control without spoilers.

Donald hears a radio philosopher tell him to laugh and count to ten when angry. He tries it, succeeds, then naps in his hammock. While a caterpillar is chased by a hen, he becomes tangled and counts to ten again. He brushes off a bird using his lemonade as a birdbath, but when a woodpecker attacks his apple tree, showering him with apples, he snaps.
