Brain then tries to tell him how dirty it is and gains two strikes as a result. Suddenly, Brain hits the third ball, which then bounces off a lightpole and a catcher easily gets it. The others tell Brain they probably lost due to him not spitting on the bat, and that none of them remembered to bring their lucky items with them. | ||

Buster tries to stop Brain, but fails to believe superstitions are not true. They watch as [[Nigel Ratburn|Mr. Ratburn]] walks around a ladder and Buster tries to reason with Brain using "reverse logic" until he sees a crack in the sidewalk. He then hops away as Brain plans on stopping this nonsense! | ||
The next day, Brain has gathered his friends and shows them all three exhibits, such as a crack, ladder, and mirror. [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] tells him that he just gained seven years of bad luck and Brain shows them his special chart that he plans to use as a graph. He is going to prove how wrong they are once and for all when a rain storm drives the others off. Brain tries to tell them it wasn't bad luck and his umbrella is suddenly blown away by a gust of wind. | The next day, Brain has gathered his friends and shows them all three exhibits, such as a crack, ladder, and mirror.

Later during dinner, Brain soon learns his mother believes in superstitions also and asks her how she possibly can when someone rings the doorbell [[Binky Barnes|Binky]] then challenges him with some match questions and Brain determines Binky only wants homework help, so Brain leads him to his room to discover his missing backpack and they resume doing Binky's homework. | Later during dinner, Brain soon learns his mother believes in superstitions also and asks her how she possibly can when someone rings the doorbell [[Binky Barnes|Binky]] then challenges him with some match questions and Brain determines Binky only wants homework help, so Brain leads him to his room to discover his missing backpack and they resume doing Binky's homework. | ||
That evening, Brain is having trouble sleeping, due to his leaky roof and thundering weather. That morning he is woken up to realize that he is very late for school and he rushes to get his bike until his mom says that he left his math homework and lunch behind. Unfortunately | That evening, Brain is having trouble sleeping, due to his leaky roof and thundering weather. That morning he is woken up to realize that he is very late for school and he rushes to get his bike until his mom says that he left his math homework and lunch behind. Unfortunately Brain leaves the bike in the driveway and his father runs over it! So he is forced to run the rest of the way, but trips on a crack in the sidewalk, falls into a mud puddle and a dog eats his homework. A crow steals his lunch as well. Arriving to school around 10:30, Brain tells Mr. Ratburn how a dog ate his homework, but no one seems to believe him despite the mess. | ||
Brain goes over his chart and fears that he will have even worse luck considering it'll be Friday the 13th soon. So he goes to Buster who is always crazy prepared for this luck stuff. So Buster gathers him a box of salt packets, horseshoes, four leaf clovers, and finally his "lucky hat". | Brain goes over his chart and fears that he will have even worse luck considering it'll be Friday the 13th soon.
