He plays "Chopsticks", "London Bridge is Falling Down", and finally, a tune he says he made up. He explains that it might have been famous, had it had a little something more to it, just before [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] comes marching through banging a pot she's wearing on her head with kitchen utensils. | ||
One morning, Arthur's family gathers for breakfast, and [[David Read|Dad]] is serving a new oatmeal he's made. Unfortunately, it sticks to the inside of the pot and is no good to eat, as the ingredients were mixed together badly. | |||
Instead, Arthur decides to eat a bowl of Crunch Cereal, and opens the box to find a small form inside. It says that whoever can come up with the best jingle for the Crunch Cereal Company will have their song aired on T.V. and win a year supply of Crunch Cereal, with twenty box tops required for each entry. Eager to win the prize, Arthur tries to think up a new jingle, while eating Crunch Cereal right out of the box all throughout the week. While building snowmen, D.W. suggests coming up with a rhyme for the jingle, like "Crunch" and "lunch". Arthur says she doesn't understand true art, although she is sculpting the famous statue, "The Thinker", before throwing snowballs at him for the fun of it. | |||

At school, Arthur tries to come up with a good tune, but [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] calls him out to help him rescue [[Francine Frensky|Francine]], who's been captured in a snowball fight against the 4th Graders. However, Arthur spends so much time talking about the jingle that he and Buster forget about Francine, who is now buried in snow. | At school, Arthur tries to come up with a good tune, but [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] calls him out to help him rescue [[Francine Frensky|Francine]], who's been captured in a snowball fight against the 4th Graders.

At Arthur's garage, the band assembles and Arthur is conducting. Arthur wants to start "with a bang", but Francine suggests a drum roll first, followed by strings and horns.

He apologizes for almost stealing credit for it, but D.W. doesn't seem upset, saying she had much better songs than that one.
