Plot
As a school day ends, Mr. Ratburn reminds the class about their city projects due on Friday. Arthur does not have an idea for his project, and Brain asks for his help on studying wind patterns. On Tuesday, Buster gets Arthur's help to record a video about Elwood City. On Wednesday, Binky gets Arthur to pose so he can paint. On Thursday, Arthur helps Francine with her model of Elwood City.

Arthur goes to work on his own project, but does not get far and has nothing to present in class. Brain, Buster, Binky, and Francine all tell Mr. Ratburn that Arthur helped on their projects. Mr. Ratburn is impressed that Arthur has been busy with four projects; Arthur adds, "and four great friends, too!"
