Franklin and the Trading Cards (4x18)

: 03, 2000

Franklin, Beaver and Fox are all trying to complete a set of trading cards. They're getting annoyed because there's just this one card that they can never find. Then, Franklin finds two of the same card that they don't have in his pack! That makes one for him and one for... Beaver or Fox? Both of them want it, but Franklin doesn't know who to give it to. He says he'll have to think on it. The two immediately begin vying to get the card from Franklin. Fox comes all the way to his house to help him out. On the bus, Beaver saves a seat for him. Plus, both of them give him food and other assorted bribes. Throughout the school day, the two are always write behind him, ready to help him out with something, like when he knocks something over, or breaks his pencil. At recess that day, he's trying to play with Snail, when Beaver and Fox each separately try to get him to play a game with them. Snail's not really sure what to make of all this and wonders who Franklin will give the card too. On the bus that day, Fox and Beaver both try to find Franklin and save a seat for him. But when they see that he's not sitting by Snail and ask Snail where he is, Snail tells them that he thinks Franklin is walking home today. After they leave, Franklin comes out. Snail was covering for him! Franklin and Snail go back to the store that's selling the trading cards. Franklin thinks maybe he'll get lucky and get that card again. Instead, he just ends up with eight of the same card. Later, he tells Snail that he's come up with the perfect solution and that he's going to have Beaver and Fox meet him at the playground tomorrow morning. Snail, thinking Franklin is going to have them race or something, announces "let the games begin!" The next morning, when Fox shows up, Franklin simply gives the card to him. Then, Beaver comes and Fox wonders what Franklin is going to tell her. He's surprised when Franklin walks over to Beaver and hands her the card - the one that would have completed his set! Fee
