| ==Summary==
| |
| [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] doesn't fit into his costume for the play and is shocked to learn that he's now "husky-sized." He wants to get in shape, but is he ready to try something as radical as ... exercise?
| |
| | |
| ==Plot==
| |
| Arthur is supposed to be playing a seemingly rich character in the school play. He is told to come to [[Nigel Ratburn|Mr. Ratburn]], along with everybody else, showing him his costume. Arthur's costume doesn't fit, so he can't show him his costume. | |
| | |
| Arthur goes to a clothing store, where he buys a new suit. He is too embarrassed to show the rest of the cast.
| |
| | |
| Arthur talks to Mr. Ratburn, where he tells him a short tale of his own past. Arthur's class were each given a pedometer to track the steps they have taken a day. Mr. Ratburn told the class to aim for 10,000 steps a day, which is much more than Arthur's. | |
| | |
| Arthur begins to do more exercise, with the help of his friends and family, and even Pal. As a result, Arthur is able to fit into his costume, and he and D.W. give each other a high five. At the play, Arthur performs wonderfully (using a tip from his sister).
