Arthur practices his piano, and [[Kate Read|Kate]] starts laughing. Arthur continues to amuse Kate by making silly faces. Meanwhile, in [[The Sugar Bowl]], Muffy decides that Arthur can't be a clown until he can learn to be funny.

[[Sue Ellen Armstrong|Sue Ellen]] comes over to Arthur's house to teach him how to juggle, but he struggles with it. [[Alan Powers|Brain]] teaches him jokes, but Arthur doesn't understand them. [[Binky Barnes|Binky]] shows Arthur how to make funny faces, but he is unable to do that as well. Even after Muffy hires [[Pickles]] to teach Arthur, he is still not funny.

Arthur admits that he is not funny. On the day of the carnival, he is the piano player. He starts to play the piano off-key and make silly faces, like he did with Kate, causing everyone to laugh.
