==Summary==
==Summary==
It is winter, and [[Arthur Read|Arthur's]] snow shoveling business is booming — that is until [[Buster]] plans to get in on the action. As the temperature drops, the competition heats up.
It's winter, and Arthur's snow shoveling business is booming — until Buster decides to get in on the action. As the temperature drops, the competition heats up.


==Plot==
==Plot==
[[Arthur Read|Arthur]] and [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] are seen arguing about how best to share a pogo stick, and Arthur starts to wonder if all best friends fight. Some examples are shown, including the Wright brothers arguing who gets the next ride on the Flyer, Dr. Frankenstein’s assistant arguing that it should not just be “Frankenstein’s monster”, and in the refrigerator jelly is arguing that it should be “jelly and peanut butter” (alphabetical order).
The episode starts when Arthur is sitting on the grounded being angry saying that it's his turn while Buster says that he had it for 48 bounces and that he had it for only 22. Arthur tells him that he had it for longer. Buster complains that he can't help it if he hops slower. Arthur mentions that Orville and Wilbur Wright argue with each other. Arthur then grabs the pogo stick while Buster is still jumping with it and jumps with it.

Arthur tells Jane and D.W. it's snowing outside and that there's no school. D.W. tells him that it's Saturday. Arthur wants to call Buster that they can build snowmen, go sledding on the golf course, and have a huge. But Jane interrupts Arthur that tells him to help dad shovel out. Arthur complains that he doesn't want to do that. Outside, Arthur is finished shoveling out and he wants to call Buster. Ramon tells him that his son Alberto has the flu and wants Arthur to do his work. Arthur tells him that he has plans. Ramon then tells him that he'll pay him $5.00. Arthur accepts the deal. At the Sugar Bowl, Buster tells Arthur that he should go into business.
 
On a Saturday in winter, Arthur wants to play with Buster, but [[Jane Read|his mom]] makes him shovel the driveway first. [[Ramón Molina|Mr. Molina]] offers him five dollars to shovel their driveway too, since [[Alberto Molina|Alberto]] has the flu.
 
Afterwards, Arthur meets Buster at [[The Sugar Bowl]]. He suggests that Arthur should go into business.
 
Arthur shovels a few driveways for money, then meets Buster, who has the same idea. They team up, but right at the next house, they quarrel. Buster wants to keep eight of fifteen dollars because he was first at the house, while Arthur accuses Buster of not doing his share of the work. They part in anger.
 
After a snowy night, [[David Read|Mr. Read]] wants to let Arthur sleep in, but Arthur is already busy. When Arthur comes to the Molinas’ house, Mr. Molina has already promised the job to Buster, who has advertised with self-made posters.  
 
Arthur has posters made at a print shop which costs him $10. He has another quarrel with Buster when they both stick their posters to the same telephone pole.
 
At home, [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] offers to help for a fee. She is to small to shovel, but she is good at getting customers, since no one says no to a four-year-old girl. Buster is angry, and starts advertising with a tape recorder and a megaphone.
 
When D.W. tells Arthur that Buster has lowered his fee to $4, Arthur lowers his to $3.50.
 
Both Buster and Arthur break their tools and have to buy new ones. They cover each other’s posters with their own and keep lowering their prices.
 
When Arthur arrives at [[Thora Read|Grandma Thora]]’s house, he is hurt that she gave the job to Buster for $1. Arthur offers to do it for free.
 
On his way home, Arthur meets [[Francine Frensky|Francine]], [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]], and [[Binky Barnes|Binky]], who have enjoyed playing in the snow. Buster overhears their conversation. Both boys look unhappy.
 
In the evening, Arthur is exhausted and has only made ten dollars, minus one for D.W. He is relieved that the next day is a school day.
 
The next day, school is cancelled because of more snow. Arthur goes to work. He passes kids having fun and meets Buster. Both have blisters and have accepted jobs for ridiculously low fees. Muffy arrives with a snow plow driven by [[Bailey]]. The boys agree to give her their jobs, spend their combined profits on a new sled, and go sledding as best friends, finishing the episode.
