Editing Cents-less

Mr. Ratburn talks about money and its importance to the class. He then states that it would be difficult to imagine life without money and tells the class that it is exactly what he wants the students to do. [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] then starts to daydream of him sitting on a stool at the [[Ice Cream Shop]], while [[Alan Powers|Brain]] gives him his order of a "frozen yogurt replica of the Montreal Stadium with extra snow". With food on his face, Buster asks if he can have the chair in the shop to which the Brain allows, stating that everything's free. Giving the chair to his butler outside, Buster flies off in a helicopter heading to Paris. His daydream is finished and the class scene returns where Mr. Ratburn then explains the process of bartering (trading). This time, [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] daydreams of a scene inside a village where Brain is sculpting a goat out of rock that catches Arthur's eye. He offers to trade it for [[D.W. Read|D.W.]]'s singing cow that Brain rejects, ending the daydream. Mr. Ratburn concludes by giving everyone, including himself, an experiment for the weekend which is to not spend any money. [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] laughs, thinking that he is joking, only realizing that he isn't when everyone stares at her.

After school, as Muffy gets her backpack, [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] asks her how she is going to get through the weekend, pointing out that spending money for Muffy is like breathing. Muffy grabs out her credit card, convinced that using a credit card isn't the same as spending money in bills. But Francine informs her that it is still spending money, but you're just paying for it later. Later at home, Francine is convinced that Muffy won't last even a couple of days when suddenly she is given a letter to see its fifty dollars included! Her dad jokes, stating he would spend the money for her since she can't do it herself, but Francine is too smart.
