Arthur Writes a Story (episode)

Arthur Writes a Story is the first half of the 12th episode of Season 1. It first aired on November 25, 1996 with Arthur's Lost Dog.

Summary
Arthur needs to write a story for homework, so he decides to write about how he got Pal ("Arthur's Pet Business.") He is afraid that no one will like his story after D.W. informs him that it's boring. He begins fictionalizing the events and revising his story using advice from different people, as he tries to write a good story.

Trivia

 * There is a song about this episode, including the original lyrics of the country song he wrote for his report.

Goofs

 * In some scenes in Mr. Ratburn's classroom, there were even some students who actually belong in the other classes, and there were sixteen desks instead of the actual twelve.
 * When Arthur tells his story in front of the class, the desks are full.
 * While Arthur is writing his story in the living room while Bionic Bunny is showing on television, the television set is brown; but in all other episodes, it is gray.
 * One VERY interesting goof is that when Arthur is in the classroom in one shot D.W is clearly seen outside the window, why is she there if she isn't even at his school?
 * How can Mr. Ratburn expect Arthur's real story tomorrow if it's Friday?
