==Summary== | ==Summary== | ||
Arthur is looking forward to a class trip to a cave, although he is just a little concerned about how dark it will be in there. | |||
==Plot== | ==Plot== | ||
The opening begins with an aardvark in a cave as Arthur comes by and begins to talk of how people dealt with being submitted to the darkness over the course of years. | ===Opening=== | ||

In the 19th century, someone invented the light bulb, and that person was Thomas Edison. Arthur suggests a name, to which the man then quickly leaves. Arthur then begins to discuss how useful it is, then yells when [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] turns out the lights. | In the 19th century, someone invented the light bulb, and that person was Thomas Edison.

===The Cave=== | |||
Arthur and his classmates are preparing for a field trip to some caves in Palisades Park after making replicas of caves for homework. Mr. Ratburn discusses mostly bats, and other creatures that live in there. He reminds them of the replicas, and that they're due tomorrow. | |||

During class, [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] teases Arthur of being scared of going inside a cave, which annoys him. [[Nigel Ratburn|Mr. Ratburn]] explains what “spelunking” is, to which most of the students are looking forward to and he claims the caves will seem less frightening the more they study them. He then reminds them of their homework before class ends. | During class, [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] teases Arthur of being scared of going inside a cave, which annoys him.

Trying to make him feel better, his dad tells them a story about the basement he was afraid to go into as a child. But to solve this, he would whistle a comforting tune a little bit in order to help him conquer this fear. | Trying to make him feel better, his dad tells them a story about the basement he was afraid to go into as a child.

Arthur is more hesitant and seems frightened. In class, Mr. Ratburn overlooks the replicas one by one. | |||
[[Alan Powers|Brain]] then shows him and the others how much work he put into his own replica when it lights up. [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] then asks if bats give people rabies, but both Brain and Mr. Ratburn deny this. Mr. Ratburn then scolds Francine, and tells her it's perfectly natural to be frightened at first. | [[Alan Powers|Brain]] then shows him and the others how much work he put into his own replica when it lights up.

After Arthur and his classmates get out of the cave calmly, Mr. Ratburn apologizes to everyone for his panic attack and thanks the guide for helping him and Francine out of the cave, as well as thanking Arthur for his helpful whistling tip. | After Arthur and his classmates get out of the cave calmly, Mr. Ratburn apologizes to everyone for his panic attack and thanks the guide for helping him and Francine out of the cave, as well as thanking Arthur for his helpful whistling tip. | ||
Francine, on the other hand, refuses to admit that she was that scared, though Binky proves this wrong by having taken two pictures of Francine and Mr. Ratburn being scared while seeing the bats, as well as pulling a trick on Francine to make her believe that she's getting attacked by a bat, leaving Arthur and the others to laugh at her when she falls for such a silly trick | Francine, on the other hand, refuses to admit that she was that scared, though Binky proves this wrong by having taken two pictures of Francine and Mr. Ratburn being scared while seeing the bats, as well as pulling a trick on Francine to make her believe that she's getting attacked by a bat, leaving Arthur and the others to laugh at her when she falls for such a silly trick. An angry Francine then chases after Binky, saying that he'll be sorry for taking those pictures. | ||
