Chapter 4: Fun at the Mall
At noon, the Read family and relatives went to the Mill Creek Mall for lunch. Arthur, Mo, and Ricky went to get a slice of pizza; D.W., Kate, and Mo's sister went to get chicken strips and fries; David and Jane went to get spaghetti; and Loretta and Bud went to get fried chicken. They all sat together at a table.
After lunch, Arthur and his sisters and cousins went to get ice cream. Arthur and Mo picked out rainbow sherbet, D.W. and Kate picked out strawberry, and Ricky and his younger sister picked out chocolate.
When they were done eating ice cream, they went to the arcade center to play arcade games. Arthur and Mo were playing a racing game, and Arthur was player 1 while Mo was player 2. D.W., Kate, Ricky, and the girl were playing skee-ball. Arthur and Mo then went over to play a fighting game. They played in the arcade center for almost an hour. After winning tickets, they went to the counter to choose some prizes. Arthur picked out a rainbow ball that was used to bounce and catch, Mo picked out the Chinese finger traps with blue and white diamonds, Ricky picked out a baseball card, D.W. picked out a toy pony and it was pink, Kate picked out the same as her sister but was purple, and the younger sister of Mo and Ricky picked out a purple pencil.
After Arthur and his sisters and cousins played arcade games, they started to look around in the stores with all of their parents.
After going to the mall, they all went home to continue preparing for Christmas.
