Arthur starts out telling the viewers that all of his friends have something to give them good luck: Francine wears lucky socks during baseball, and her refusal to wash them during a win streak which makes other teams hesitate to tag her. | |||
Buster used to have a stuffed bear he thought would give him good luck on tests, however, he spent too much time focused on it, and never did the test. Grandma Thora has lucky rituals that help her at Bingo. Arthur thinks none of those were lucky. What is truly lucky is something in his room, somewhere in this room as it shows his room is a mess. | Buster used to have a stuffed bear he thought would give him good luck on tests, however, he spent too much time focused on it, and never did the test.
