Plot
SpongeBob wakes up, drinks a cup of french toast made by Gary and looks at his calendar. It says "You are a winner", and SpongeBob hugs himself. It also says "First day of summer". SpongeBob is excited, and tells Mr. Krabs at work that day. He's even more excited, and SpongeBob asks him why. He says (indirectly) that on summer vacation, children go around spending money, and the Krusty Krab will probably get more profits through kiddie meals (He raises the price from $1.99 to $4.99). However, he gets no money that day and finds out that they're all at a playground. He decides to make a playground of his own, Krabby Land. He shows it to all the children, but they're disappointed. It's really cheap and falls apart. Mr. Krabs gives the children some colouring books/liability waivers and says that whoever hands theirs back gets to meet the one and only Krabby the Clown. He also tells them that Krabby the Clown will come soon, and tells SpongeBob to stall them. He accidentally injures himself while trying to amuse them, and the kids laugh. He realises that they like pain, so he hires two torturers.[2] After a while, he goes to Mr. Krabs[3] (who was sorting through a large stack of money, presumably the children's') and tells him that he can't stall anymore. Mr. Krabs first ignores him and tells him to 'get back to work', but upon seeing SpongeBob's limbs flying around (the children were using them as boomerangs), he feared that his windows would get smashed. As a result, after a while, Krabby the Clown (Mr. Krabs in a cap and tomato nose) comes out, and says "Hey kids! Thank you all for coming! Thank you! Buy lots of Krabby Patties! Ar, ar, ar, ar, ar!" and walks back into his office. An extremely disappointed SpongeBob confronts Mr. Krabs, saying that he expected Krabby The Clown, but all he saw was "Cheapy the Cheapskate." Mr. Krabs retorts that it was ' survival of the fittest ' and comes back out of his office to go to the bank. However the children confront him and beat him. One child even throws Mr. Krabs' money off the roof of the Krusty Krab, giving the place the appearance that it was raining money. This enchants glum SpongeBob. But what happened to Mr. Krabs? The torturers feed him lima beans.
