| [[Arthur Read|Arthur]], [[Francine Frensky|Francine]], [[Buster Baxter|Buster]], [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]], [[Binky Barnes|Binky]], [[Fern Walters|Fern]], [[Alan Powers|Brain]] and [[Sue Ellen Armstrong|Sue Ellen]] ride in a cart of hay. Arthur comments that it's great when they do things as a group, and they bring up a snowball fight at [[The Tree House]], climbing [[Moose Mountain]], and river rafting in a giant rubber duck (in Buster's dream). George tries to catch up the the cart, but is sad when his friends leave him behind.

| |
| | |
| Buster advises Arthur on shooting a marble, which launches too far and rolls to Francine and Muffy. They speak strangely, and when Arthur questions them, the girls explain that they are speaking "oolah," a secret language. Buster wants to learn it, but Francine responds that then it wouldn't be a secret language.
| |
| | |
| Arthur visits George and teaches him "Arster-Buthur," he and Buster's secret language. At school, George gets frustrated with speaking Arster-Buthur and moves to sit with Sue Ellen, who tells him he should learn Oolah instead. Francine gets mad at Sue Ellen for "nearly contaminat[ing] Oolah," and George says, "I think you've all gone crackers!"
| |
| | |
| George asks Binky to create a secret language with him, but leaves when Binky burps, meaning "hand over the raisins." He goes to Brain, who wants to invent a new language as well and invites him to the [[Ice Cream Shop]] to discuss it tomorrow.

| |
| That night, George dreams that he and [[Wally]] venture into the [[Gramazon Jungle]], get attacked by [[Tongue-Twisting Toads]], and cross a pit of gobbledygook. They come across a village of smaller Georges, the[[Georgini| Georginis]], who teach their language made of "gestures and sounds."
| |
| | |
| George reports his idea to Brain, who dismisses it because it "looks really silly." George tries to show his language to other people, none of whom appreciate it. At school, George watches a ball bounce into Arthur's bag, and Francine runs to grab it. They argue, and George resolves the argument by showing that Francine just wants to get the ball. He comments that "things were a lot more fun around here when everybody understood each other!"
| |
| | |
| Everyone else apologizes and asks to learn George's language. George considers the advantages of his language, but realizes that people with injured limbs could not speak it. He suggests that they continue speaking normally, and runs off to play marbles with his friends.

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *Binky also created a "language", but it was essentially an excuse to communicate in crude burps (as his "language" was basically burping).
| | {{hidden10|Do You Speak George?}} |
| *Wally considered making a "language", replacing each word with "Wally" (it is obviously a joke).
| | *When George makes the baby cry the lady pushing the stroller looks like Arthur's aunt Loretta |
| *This is the first Arthur episode where Jessica Kardos is credited as the voice of Sue Ellen. Kardos previously voiced Sue Ellen in season 1 of Postcards from Buster.
| | *When Brain speaks his secret language in the playground scene, he says, "10 22 13 16," or JUMP |
| *When George makes a baby cry, the lady pushing the stroller looks like Arthur's aunt Loretta. | |
| *When Brain speaks his secret language at the playground, he says, "10 22 13 16," translating to "jump." | |
| *The secret languages [[Oola]], [[Arster-Buthur]] and [[Brain's Math Language]] have their own pages explaining the rules. For the Georgini language, see [[Georgini|Georginis]].
| |
| *'''Moral:'''
| |
| **Don't force everyone to stop saying made up languages for your own benefits.
| |
| **Made up your own languages no matter what.
| |
| *'''Timeline:''' George brings up that he has dyslexia. This is revealed in "[[The Boy with His Head in the Clouds]]."
