Then he provides examples such as what will happen if there were no rules while playing soccer. The next example is at a library with one book. He says that if you want to join a library you must agree to return the books back to the library on time or it's no library. At the swimming club, he narrates that to join the club, you have to know how to swim. Binky then says that it's a waste of time so he jumps to the pool and thinks he is drowning and so he starts crying. Then in the next example Arthur is riding his bike until he stops at the Tibbles' house because the Tibble twins and a tree are blocking his path. They tell him that he has to pay $1 and hop on one foot. Arthur then says that maybe not always. | ||

Then D.W. comes to the treehouse and wants to be on the parade. Francine suggests to Arthur that the tree house is used by "The Parade Float Club" and only members are allowed. D.W. asks how to be a member and Francine passes Arthur a note which says you have to kick a ball out of the yard. | ||
At the yard Muffy and Francine give her a bowling ball. But she complains that she might break her foot. D.W. asks everybody else to follow their own rules and kick the ball also. | |||

At the living room everybody participates in this rule. D.W. finishes her picture first. She drew a picture of Mr. Ratburn but everybody is quiet. Francine speaks for everybody and says that the picture must be funny to qualify. But then Buster starts to laugh. Arthur reads a note from Brain saying that you have to be a third grader. Francine and Binky question why The Brain waited so long to provide a suggestion. | At the living room everybody participates in this rule. D.W. finishes her picture first.

Arthur protests and says that the treehouse has always been free. Muffy says to raise funds everybody should start paying $1 a week which shocks everybody including Francine, who only has 50¢ every week. Muffy kindly offers to take care of Francine but storms about nobody else gets any breaks. Arthur objects again and then Muffy decides to build her own club and Buster starts agreeing with some of the things Muffy and Francine said before also leaving. | ||

Inside the Muffy Club there is TV, refrigerator, Microwave Oven, basketball net, and bookshelves. Muffy says $1 for her and Francine and $2 for Buster. When asking why she says because "he eats like a pig" which he thinks it's not fair then he quits the club. | ||
Buster then tries to go back to the treehouse but Sue Ellen tell him he can't because he was "a dirty traitor". At his condo Buster opens The reading comic book under the blanket club. At school the friends are playing soccer but despite being in the same team the clubs they made makes them lose the game. It also affects eating together at lunch. Sue Ellen leaves The Parade Float Club. | Buster then tries to go back to the treehouse but Sue Ellen tell him he can't because he was "a dirty traitor".
