A special pencil seems to be bringing Arthur luck. What will happen when it's been worn down to a stub? | A special pencil seems to be bringing Arthur luck. What will happen when it's been worn down to a stub? | ||
==Plot== | ==Plot== | ||
Arthur starts out telling the viewers that all of his friends have something to give them good luck: Francine wears lucky socks during baseball, and her refusal to wash them during a win streak which makes other teams hesitate to tag her. | |||
Buster used to have a stuffed bear he thought would give him good luck on tests, however, he spent too much time focused on it, and never did the test. Grandma Thora has lucky rituals that help her at Bingo. Arthur thinks none of those were lucky. What is truly lucky is something in his room, somewhere in this room as it shows his room is a mess. | Buster used to have a stuffed bear he thought would give him good luck on tests, however, he spent too much time focused on it, and never did the test.

(Title Card) | |||
In Mr. Ratburn's class, they're learning about a fly laying eggs on a decaying banana with half of the class asleep. Arthur looks at Ms. Sweetwater's class where she is telling the class jokes. Their assignment for the day is to come up with a joke. At the end of the day, Arthur and Buster plan to sail a toy boat, but it's raining. | In Mr. Ratburn's class, they're learning about a fly laying eggs on a decaying banana with half of the class asleep.

At home, Arthur and D.W. battle over TV rights over heads and tails. D.W. beats Arthur, but he challenges her to two out three, which she beats him again. She watches a show about two cats in love with each other. Arthur decides he would rather do math homework and leaves. | At home, Arthur and D.W. battle over TV rights over heads and tails.

At dinner, the Read family is eating fish sticks. | |||
Arthur states he hates fish sticks and would make him sick. David gives Arthur cream ocred, which Arthur sarcastically remarks, “terrific”. He is looking forward to dessert, but Jane tells him that there was an accident. Pal comes in the dining room with his face covered with chocolate ice cream. | |||
The next day, Arthur is walking D.W. to Grandma Thora's. It is raining again and Arthur thinks he's cursed. D.W. dismisses this, saying no one who has a cute sister like her can be cursed. Arthur walks into a pencil, where it immediately stops raining as soon as Arthur looks into its eye. Arthur drops D.W. off and runs to school. | The next day, Arthur is walking D.W. to Grandma Thora's. It is raining again and Arthur thinks he's cursed.
