☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue features multiple humorous stories. "What an Artist!" depicts Freddy's artistic ambitions when he learns of an art contest judged by Superintendent McHazy with a free trip to New York as the prize. "Simple Saima in 'Calamity Saima'" shows a girl's misadventure when she attempts to scare her Uncle Rock Boulder, the star of a TV show, by pretending to be a monster from a cereal box, but her plan backfires when she actually encounters a frightening situation involving fireflies that she initially mistakes for danger.
Freddy tricks Rip into accepting a bottle of spoiled perfume as a gift for his girlfriend, setting off a chain of mishaps when the scent proves disastrous in unexpected ways. As Freddy tries to profit from the stink by rebranding it as an insecticide and later a junk-destroying substance, each scheme backfires in increasingly absurd ways.
Freddy Finch, convinced he can’t paint, hatches a scheme to win an art contest by substituting a self-portrait he didn’t actually draw—using a window frame to create a fake masterpiece. When the school superintendent praises the "artwork" and prepares to award the prize, Freddy must scramble to keep the ruse going after realizing he left the real painting behind.
Saima, a young woman eager to impress her favorite TV cowboy star, Rock Boulder, arrives at Brown's Resort in a cowgirl costume, only to discover he’s there to rest and avoid fans. When the resort’s owner pressures her to ride a wild horse to prove her western spirit, Saima panics—she’s never ridden a horse before and is terrified, despite Rock’s fame as a stuntman.
Freddy bets Mr. Tantrum that flying saucers aren’t real, only to prank him by dangling a toy saucer outside his window at night. When a mysterious light appears and Freddy tumbles through a hedge, he’s terrified—only to realize he’s not alone in fearing the unknown.
