After Bart washes the car, Homer pays him for his work.

Homer starts the book and gets to chapter 1: Placing trust in your child's hands. Homer sends Bart to the Kwik-E-Mart with $4 to buy a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk. When he gets there, Bart finds Apu throwing away two gallons of spoiled milk. Bart takes them off of Apu's hands and spends the rest of the money on the bread and candy. When Bart shows Homer that he got the bread and more milk than he asked for, which he claimed was due to a 2-for-1 sale, Homer gives Bart another $2 to buy candy.

Chapter 2 of the book is about using reverse psychology. Bart demands to go to the Jippum & Fleecum Circus, and threatens to join the circus if he's not allowed to visit. Homer agrees to let Bart join the circus and takes him to Dr. Nick to get fake ears and a nose put on Bart so he can join the circus as a freak. When Dewey Jippum finds out that Bart isn't over 18, he makes Homer sign a lifetime family membership contract for the circus so the family has to attend every circus performance.
