The story starts off with [[Stanley]] and a [[Woogle]] on the second shelf. Stanley looks old and worn and needs to be sewn. [[Jane Read|Arthur's mother]] sews him and then the Reads have a garage sale. D.W. thinks a penny is good enough. Arthur disagrees. She tries to sell her singing fish, [[Thelma]], to [[Vicita Molina]], but [[Ramón Molina|Ramon]] says it's too expensive (which was 1,000 dollars.) Soon, she hears from D.W. about [Stanley and gets even more excited than she did with Thelma. | |||
