Mr. Haney gives an envelope to Arthur to give to his mom. Arthur is worried about the contents of the envelope, thinking that it's a negative report about him, so he comes up with a way of giving it to his mom without her opening it.
Plot
Mr. Haney gives an envelope to Arthur to give to his mom. The episode begins with Arthur's friends wondering what's in the envelope.
Then Francine and Buster have a tug-of-war with the envelope until Binky grabs it and says, "I bet you failed Ratburn's big history tests." Then Francine assumes that Arthur will have to go to summer school. Then we see Arthur in his desk with stacks of textbooks with Mr. Ratburn enjoying an ice cream.
Then we see Arthur's friends flying by the window like it's a tornado until Buster echoes "Repeat it" several times then the school falls quickly then a cow flies by mooing. Arthur is worried about the contents of the envelope thinking that it's about him, so he comes up with a way of giving it to his mom without her opening it. The envelope turns out to contain Mr. Haney's tax documents.
