[THEME MUSIC]

--[SINGING] It's a beautiful
day in this neighborhood.

A beautiful day for a neighbor.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

It's a neighborly day
in this beauty wood.

A neighborly day for a beauty.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

I have always wanted to have
a neighbor just like you.

I've always wanted to live
in a neighborhood with you.

So let's make the most
of this beautiful day.

Since we're together, we might
as well say, would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

Won't you be my neighbor?

Won't you please?

Won't you please?

Please won't you be my neighbor?

I'm not going to put
these on right yet,

and you'll see why in a minute.

Do you have any idea
what this might be?

I'll give you a hint.

It's something for sleeping.

As a matter of fact,
it's a bag for sleeping.

A sleeping bag.

And I'm gonna get in it.

It's soft in here.

That's why I didn't
put my sneakers on.

You don't put shoes
in a sleeping bag.

Do you sleep in a bed?

Or on a couch?

Or on the floor?

Do you know anybody who uses
a sleeping bag for sleeping?

This feels good.

Mmm.

Do you ever sing
anything in your family

before you go to sleep?

My sons liked me to sing the
"Tree, Tree, Tree" song to them

when they were little.

Do you know that song?

It's like this.

[SINGING] Tree, tree, tree.

Tree, tree, tree.

Tree, tree, tree.

Tree, tree, tree.

We love you.

Yes, we do.

Yes, we do.

We love you.

Tree, tree, tree.

Tree, tree, tree.

Tree, tree, tree.

Tree, tree, tree.

Whew, feels like I
could just go to--

[PHONE RINGS]

-Is that the telephone?

Oh my.

Coming, telephone.

Phew!

Hello?

Oh yes, Mr. McFeely.

I was inside my sleeping bag.

Oh no, I wasn't sleeping.

I was just showing my neighbor.

Have you been able
to find the tape?

Oh, certainly.

Any time will be fine.

All right, see you later.

Yes, speedy delivery to you too.

That's Mr. McFeely.

I had been wondering how
people make sleeping bags.

So I asked Mr. McFeely if
he could find us a tape.

And he said he located one and
he would bring it over later.

So first let's roll
up the sleeping bag.

And then I'll put on my shoes.

Put this strap around it.

There we go.

That was fun to show you that.

I like to show you
all sorts of things.

Yeah.

Things that I'm interested in.

You know, while we're
waiting for Mr. McFeely, you

and I could have
some make believe.

Why don't we do that?

Get the trolley.

Hi, Trolley.

[BELL RINGING]

-Last time, Prince
Tuesday was trying

to learn a quick
way to fly high.

And he used that
magic hat, you know,

that Lady Elaine had given him.

And he had a bad fall and
he went to the hospital

because his arm was
hurting so much.

Well, let's make believe
some more about that now.

Ready, Trolley?

[BELL RINGING]

-OK, Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.

[BELL RINGING]

-Oh yes, Trolley.

It was scary.

[BELL RINGING]

-Oh, he should be
home very soon.

[BELL RINGING]

-See you later, Trolley.

[BELL RINGING]

-Oh X, I didn't
know you were there.

-Oh, I, I just heard
that Tuesday got hurt.

-He was trying to fly.

-I know.

And I was his flying teacher.

I feel terrible!

-Oh, he's gonna be OK.

[PHONE RINGS]

-Oh.

You're sure?

-'Scuse me, X.

[PHONE RINGS]

-Oh X, I'm sorry.

But I've got to get
back to the switchboard.

A telephone operator cleaning
person's job is never done.

-I guess not.

See you, Miss P. I just don't
know how he hurt himself

with those little
exercises I gave him.

I just don't--

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

NEIGHBOR ABER: Hello, X!

Are you at home?

-Oh, that sounds
like Neighbor Aber.

I'll be right over,
Neighbor Aber!

-Oh, hi Henrietta.

-Meow, meow neighbor.

Meow, meow.

-I hope all my calling and
knocking hasn't disturbed you.

-Meow.

Meow glad you're meow.

Meow, X. Meow disturbed.

-Oh, hi X.

-Oh, hello Hen.

Hi, Neighbor Aber.

-How are you?

-I'm feeling terrible today.

-Because of Prince
Tuesday's fall?

-Uh, that's right.

I was his teacher and he was
trying to fly and he got hurt.

I feel just terrible!

-Well now X, what exactly
did you teach Prince Tuesday?

-Uh, I taught him jump and
call and spread and cheer.

-Jump and call and
spread and cheer.

-Mm hmm.

-How do you do those things?

-Uh, jump and call.

And spread and
then you say cheer.

-So it's jump and call
and spread and cheer.

-That's it.

-Well, did you ever tell
him to wear a magic hat,

go up somewhere and jump off?

-Oh no!

In fact, every lesson
I tell my flying

students two most
important words.

-Meow, careful.

-That's right.

Be careful.

You hear me saying that all
the time, don't you Hen?

-Meow.

Meow meow good teacher, X.

-Well, I try to be.

I sure try hard to be.

I think I'll just go inside in
my sleeping bag for a while.

NEIGHBOR ABER: Well, see you X.

-I'll see you all later.

-If we get any more uh,
news about Prince Tuesday,

we'll let you know.

-Oh yes, please.

Please.

Yeah, I'll see y'all later.

-Bye bye.

-Meow.

-You're a good neighbor,
Henrietta Pussycat.

-Meow feel bad, meow X.

-Well, he, he never
meant any harm.

-Meow know.

Meow see you later,
meow meow Aber.

-All right.

I'll see you, Hen.

-Meow meow, bye.

-Bye for now.

-Meow thanks.

--[SINGING] Let's
think of something

to do while we're waiting.

While we're waiting
for Lady Aberlin.

Hi!

-Hi, Neighbor Aber.

-How are you?

-Well, I'm, I'm all right.

But have you heard what
Lady Elaine's doing?

-Oh, what now?

-She seems to be
giving flying lessons.

-Flying?

But she can't fly!

-I know.

But she has these magic hats.

-Magic hats?

-Yes.

And she must think they
help people to fly.

-Prince Tuesday was wearing
a magic hat, wasn't he?

-Yes.

And he finally told me
who had given it to him.

-Huh.

So it wasn't X's
fault at all, huh?

-No.

-Oh oh!

Looks like somebody else
might be heading for a fall.

-Oh!

We'd better go over
there right away!

-Now you have your magic hat.

-Yes.

Now what do I do?

-Well, the first thing--

-Don't do anything, Anna!

-Ah, what's going on here?

-We just don't want
Anna to get hurt!

-What do you mean?

-Are you all right, Anna?

-I was just about to fly high!

-Didn't you give one of those
magic hats to Prince Tuesday?

-Yes.

How's he doing with it?

-He fell and hurt himself.

-Oh no!

I told him to be careful!

-We're sorry, Anna.

But that magic hat
is just pretend.

-Should I come down from here?

-I guess so, toots.

I really thought it would work.

-I've got some news, everyone.

-What is it?

-What?

-Prince Tuesday's coming home.

--[GASPS] We'll be
there in a minute!

-Thanks, Miss Paulifficate.

-Uh huh.

Something every minute.

-Oh, I am so glad
you didn't get hurt!

-So am I!

-So am I!

-I suggest you come
with us to the castle

and visit Prince Tuesday.

He's just back
from the hospital.

-Mmm, I hope he's all right.

I told him to be careful.

-Being careful means
thinking first and then doing

or not doing.

-I guess so.

-We'd better talk to X the
Owl and tell him all about it.

-He thought the prince's
accident was his fault.

-We've got a lot to do.

-Well, let's fly on over there.

-Uh uh.

-I mean, let's go on over there.

Mm hmm.

Tell you the truth, I thought
these hats would really work.

-Well, you learn something
old every day, hmm?

-Well, walking is very fun.

[BELL RINGING]

-We are too.

Thanks, Trolley.

-Come on inside, everyone.

Prince Tuesday's in the PT room.

-Oh good!

Here we come!

[BELL RINGING]

-What do you think will happen
when they go to the PT room

and see Prince Tuesday
and his family?

Lady Elaine said she didn't
mean for anybody to get hurt.

I guess she thought
that magic hat

could really make a person fly.

Well, you and I know
that nothing like a hat

can make a person fly.

No.

That's just magic thinking.

Here's some food for you, fish.

You know, the adults who really
love you want you to be safe.

That's why we warn you
about things like magic hats

and stuff that can hurt you.

These fish know that
I would give them only

things that are healthy
for them to eat.

That's because I
care about them.

[SINGING] I'm
taking care of you.

Taking good care of you.

For once I was very little too.

Now I take care of you.

Oh, there's somebody
at the door.

Let's see who that is.

Oh, it's Mr. McFeely, good.

-Speedy delivery.

-Oh, you found it.

-I found it at last, "How
People Make Sleeping Bags."

-Do you have time
to watch it with us?

-I surely do.

-Oh, come on then.

-All righty.

-Oh incidentally, this
is my sleeping bag.

-Oh, it looks a lot like
the one on the tape.

-Oh good.

Well, let's just show
it on Picture Picture.

-All righty.

-"How People Make Sleeping Bags"
right here on Picture Picture.

MR. MCFEELY: People make
sleeping bags out of fabric

that comes on big
rolls like these.

MR. ROGERS: Each
one of them has one.

MR. MCFEELY: Mm hmm.

MR. ROGERS: Where are
they gonna take them?

MR. MCFEELY: Well
see, the green fabric

will become the outside
of the sleeping bag.

And the plaid fabric will
be the inside of the bag.

MR. ROGERS: Aha.

MR. MCFEELY: These
people cut the fabric

to just the right size.

Now this woman sews
the two pieces together

around the outside
edge to make the bag.

She will leave one side
open so the filling

can go inside the bag.

MR. ROGERS: Well, she
works very quickly.

MR. MCFEELY: Yes, she does.

MR. ROGERS: What's that?

MR. MCFEELY: Well,
it's the filling

that goes inside
the sleeping bag.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, the soft stuff.

MR. MCFEELY: Mm hmm.

And this is a garnet machine.

It combs the filling so that
it will be fluffy and soft.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, it
makes it all the softer.

I see.

MR. MCFEELY: And this
end of a garnet machine

rolls and flattens
it into a long mat

so that it will
fit into the bag.

MR. ROGERS: It
looks different now.

MR. MCFEELY: Oh, it does.

It's on its way up to
the stuffing machine.

This part is fun to watch.

Watch this.

MR. ROGERS: Does
it go in the bag?

MR. MCFEELY: Into the bag!

MR. ROGERS: Oh, that
is fun to watch!

MR. MCFEELY: Now look here.

It'll happen again.

MR. ROGERS: So the
bag's inside out there.

MR. MCFEELY: Yes.

MR. ROGERS: And then, oh.

I see.

Then the stuffing--

MR. MCFEELY: Stuffing goes in.

MR. ROGERS: That's the filling.

Ah!

Now are those finished
sleeping bags.

MR. MCFEELY: Oh, not quite.

This man is attaching
the bag to the frame

of this special sewing
machine called a quilter.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, it's
a sewing machine.

MR. MCFEELY: Mm hmm.

And it sews three layers.

The outside, the filling, and
the inside of the sleeping bag.

And it sews them all together.

That way the filling
will stay in the bag.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, so that white
stuff in between won't move--

MR. MCFEELY: Won't move around.

MR. ROGERS: Ah.

MR. MCFEELY: Well, he
turns on the machine

at this control panel.

And then watch what happens.

MR. ROGERS: I've never
seen anything like that.

That is really interesting.

The whole frame moves.

MR. MCFEELY: Yeah, that's right.

The frame moves
around as the needle

and thread sew the
layers together.

Now that sewing is done.

He'll fold the sleeping bag
and put it on a slide rail that

will carry it to another
part of the factory.

MR. ROGERS: That's right.

Speedy delivery.

MR. MCFEELY: Speedy delivery.

[LAUGHS]

This woman sews up the
open end so the filling

won't come out of the bag.

MR. ROGERS: She is
really good at her job.

MR. MCFEELY: She certainly is.

And then she sends
it to this woman

who will put in the zipper.

MR. ROGERS: I wonder if
the people in this factory

ever think of the people who
will enjoy their sleeping bags.

MR. MCFEELY: Well,
I bet they do.

Off it goes again on the
last part of its trip

to the packing department.

First it's folded and
rolled by this machine.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, look!

MR. MCFEELY: Folded, rolled.

MR. ROGERS: Mm hmm.

MR. MCFEELY: And this
man puts the sleeping bag

into another bag and
then puts it into a box.

The box is taped shut.

It's ready now for someone
to buy it and enjoy it.

MR. ROGERS: I'll say.

Now we've seen how people make
them, those sleeping bags.

-Learn something old every day.

-That's for sure.

-As a matter of fact, I might
show this to my grandchildren.

I'll bet they'll be interested.

-Do they like sleeping bags?

-They do.

And I bet they'll be interested
to see how people make them.

-I guess so.

-Oh eh, Ida Clowney told me you
might stop over there today.

-Oh yes.

I want my neighbor to meet
her and to see her good work.

-Well, she has great dolls.

I do a lot of
delivering for her.

-Well, you do a lot for
all of us, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, glad to be
at your service.

As a matter of fact, [SINGING]
if there's anything you want,

if there's anything you
need, McFeely's Delivery

brings it to you
here with speed.

Yes, our speedy deliveries
are speedy deliveries.

Speedy delivery to you.

Speedy delivery!

-Thank you, Mr. McFeely.

-Oh, you're quite welcome.

I have more deliveries,
so I'll just

say see you around
the neighborhood.

-I hope you have a good day.

-Thank you.

Bye bye.

-Bye bye.

Thanks again.

MR. MCFEELY: You're welcome.

-I do want you to
meet Ida Clowney, who

is one of my neighbors
who makes dolls.

Yes, all kinds of dolls.

And she's expecting us today.

So I thought we might just go
over to her place right now.

Will you come with me
to meet Ida Clowney?

Come along.

This is Ida's house.

Come on, let's go in.

IDA CLOWNEY: Hi, Fred.

-Hi, Ida.
IDA CLOWNEY: Come in.

MR. ROGERS: Thank you.

I like coming to
your place, Ida.

Oh, I'd like you to
know my television

neighbor, Miss Ida Clowney.

-Hi, neighbors.

I want you to come
into my workshop.

-Good.

I always like to come here.

Oh, looks like you've got
some new materials and things.

-Oh, I enjoy all my creativity.

-I guess so.

-Come on over.

I want you to meet my new
addition to the family.

-Oh, who's that?

-My jogger.

-Ooh, what a handsome one he is.

Look at those jogging shoes.

IDA CLOWNEY: Oh, and
the very long legs.

-I like to jog.

Thanks Ida! [LAUGHS] Do
you have any bean bag ones?

-Oh yes!

I want you to meet
the Busybodies!

-Busybodies?

-Yes.

-Ooh.

Full of beans.

IDA CLOWNEY: Yes.

I'm working on one right now.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, are you?

IDA CLOWNEY: Yes.

Let's go over to the table.

-Which one is she like?

-She's like the one with
the kente fabric on.

-Good.

Well, let's go on
over and maybe you'll

show us how you make one.

-OK, come on.

-All right.

Come on, Busybody.

There she is.

-Oh, she's so busy.

We're gonna sit here like
she's reading her little book.

[LAUGHS] OK, we're
gonna start putting

it together starting
with the head.

-One just like her, huh?

IDA CLOWNEY: One just like her.

A little smile on her face.

And then I paint
the face and then

I attach the neck so I
can put it on the body.

Then we're gonna go with
their hands and feet.

And then we're
gonna attach it to--

-Oh, that's actually the body.

-This is the body.

The two pieces.

MR. ROGERS: Like this.

The front--

-And the back.

MR. ROGERS: Aha.

-And we're gonna get the two
pieces and sew them together.

So she's gonna watch us while
we set and put it together.

MR. ROGERS: Right!

IDA: OK, we're gonna
sew here, here.

Up the leg, down,
up, and the arms.

-These sewing machines
are for adults, huh?

-For adults only.

OK, and then we
got this one piece,

which we have attached
all of it together.

-Oh, so you've
already sewn this one.

-We already have sewn this one.

And I'm gonna put
this on the machine

so I can work on it later.

OK, you're gonna
start by stuffing.

You want to help me stuff?

-Sure.

-OK.

-How do you do that?

-We're gonna set.

And I want you to help me.

-OK.

-So let's join in here.

I want you to put
the little pellets.

And we're gonna use a funnel.

-Oh, a funnel.

-Oh yes.

MR. ROGERS: And what are these?

IDA CLOWNEY: These
are little pellets.

MR. ROGERS: Are they plastic?

IDA CLOWNEY: They're plastic.

MR. ROGERS: How,
how many of these?

IDA CLOWNEY: Two scoops.

MR. ROGERS: Two scoops.

You make a lot of
them, don't you?

IDA CLOWNEY: Yes.

I have fun.

I enjoy my work, seeing
the creativity come alive.

-Have you always
liked making things?

-Oh, once when I
was a little girl,

I make this rooster for my mom.

MR. ROGERS: Mm hmm.

-And I made it out of cardboard.

And I drew it and I
traced it with glue

and I put glitter on it.

And then I dusted it off
and I gave it to my mom.

And she thought it
was so special she

hung it over the door.

-She must have loved that.

-Yes.

-Knowing that you made it.

-Right.

OK.

-Now you've got these pellets--

IDA CLOWNEY: We've
got the little beads--

MR. ROGERS: Right in here.

IDA CLOWNEY: Right
in the bottom.

So it can make it
heavy so when she sits.

MR. ROGERS: Like right here.

IDA CLOWNEY: Yes.

Right in the middle.

OK, we're gonna continue
with the cotton.

I want you to help
me assemble it.

-Oh, you mean you,
you put the cotton

over the pellets
that are in there.

-Yes.

So we can have a nice soft body.

You're doing very well.

Come on.
MR. ROGERS: More?

IDA CLOWNEY: Let's
put a little bit more.

MR. ROGERS: OK.

IDA CLOWNEY: OK, that's good.

See how you have the body?

-Uh huh.

-And then we'll go and
we'll attach the head.

We got the head, which is here.

MR. ROGERS: [INAUDIBLE].

IDA CLOWNEY: And
then you have-- OK,

and then I'll attach
that on to the body.

MR. ROGERS: Oh,
but then don't you

have to fill these things too?

IDA CLOWNEY: And then I have
to fill the arms and the legs

with the same pellet and cotton.

MR. ROGERS: With the same--aha.

IDA CLOWNEY: And
then I'll go back

and I'll attach
the hands and feet.

-I see.

But that's all done
with the sewing too.

-And that's all done
with the sewing machine.

-And what's that?

-Oh, this right here
[LAUGHS] is hair.

-You make, make hair out
of this little thing?

IDA CLOWNEY: Yes.

We're gonna make her
a little ponytail.

MR. ROGERS: How did you do that?

IDA CLOWNEY: We're
gonna get it and we're

gonna twist it around and
make her a little ponytail.

MR. ROGERS: Look at that!

IDA CLOWNEY: Oh man!

Is she wonderful?

MR. ROGERS: She's
gonna be a great one.

A great sister for this one.

IDA CLOWNEY: Yes.

And then we, now we
got to put a little bow

in her hair to make
her all fancy looking.

-Ida, you make the best,
the best creations.

-Oh, I have so much fun.

-I'm proud of you
as my neighbor.

-Oh, thank you Fred.

-I'd like to come back if I may.

I've gotta get to my
place now, but I'd

like to come back another time.

-Come back to see me soon.

-I will.

You gonna finish this one?

-Yes.

-Great.

See you later.

-Bye.

MR. ROGERS: Bye, my dear.

[SEWING MACHINE RUNNING]

-Going back to my place.

You know, every one of Ida
Clowney's dolls is different,

because she makes
them all by hand.

Every one of us human
beings is different too.

No two people are exactly
the same, not even twins.

And yet each one of
us can do something.

The important thing
is to do what we can

and to do it as well
as we can, and not

hurt ourselves or anybody else.

You and I have done a lot
together today, haven't we?

And we'll be able to do
more next time together.

[SINGING] It's such a good
feeling to know you're alive.

It's such a happy feeling
you're growing inside.

And when you wake
up ready to say,

I think I'll make
a snappy new day.

[SNAPS FINGERS]

It's such a good feeling.

A very good feeling.

The feeling you know that I'll
be back when the day is new.

And I'll have more
ideas for you.

And you'll have things
you'll want to talk about.

I will too.

We will have things
to talk about,

won't we, when we're
together again.

You always make it a
special day for me.

I'll be back next time.

Goodbye.
