The episode begins with [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] playing various tunes on the piano for the viewers. 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. | The episode begins with [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] playing various tunes on the piano for the viewers.

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. | One morning, Arthur's family gathers for breakfast, and [[David Read|Dad]] is serving a new oatmeal he's made.

Instead, Arthur chooses 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. | Instead, Arthur chooses to eat a bowl of Crunch Cereal, and opens the box to find a small form inside.

D.W. is shocked that she won, and later as they pile up the cereal boxes Arthur explains that he used her name instead because the song was hers, not his. He apologizes for almost stealing credit for it, but D.W. doesn't seem upset, saying she had much better songs than that one. At this point, she starts singing about how Arthur "stinks like yellow cheese". Arthur hits her with snowballs and chases her across the lawn, and she calls for their mom. | D.W. is shocked that she won, and later as they pile up the cereal boxes Arthur explains that he used her name instead because the song was hers, not his.
