Arthur realizes that he'll have to face his fears, and calls Buster, who comes over. They sit by Arthur's front door, and feed some squirrels acorns. The squirrels charge then charge at them, and Arthur and Buster quickly run into the house, and trip, and the squirrels attack them, but luckily [[Jane Read|Mrs. Read]] sees, and chases them off with her broom. When Arthur and Buster stand up, they look and see an injured squirrel on that they had landed on. | ||
Mrs. Read, Arthur, and Buster quickly rush to the emergency animal hospital, where the squirrel is treated. The veterinarian explains to Arthur and Buster that squirrels are harmless creatures and they're more afraid of people than people are of them. He also adds that he can understand that they were afraid, because he gets a lot of calls about squirrels every time the movie ''The Squirrels'' shows on TV. | Mrs. Read, Arthur, and Buster quickly rush to the emergency animal hospital, where the squirrel is treated.

Buster mentions that ''The Birds ''is on that night, and they all agree to watch it, leaving viewers to think they'll be scared of birds next. Binky walks by, and Francine asks if he wants to play. He says yes, but when a squirrel walks up to him, he screams and runs home. | ||
