[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?

Hey, neighbor.

Glad we're together again.

You know what?

I'm tree sitting today.

This is a little oak
tree that Mr. McFeely

asked if I would take
care of for a while.

Let's take it to the kitchen.

Hi, fish.

That's the tree.

And in my pocket is an acorn.

An an acorn is a seed.

And if I should
plant this acorn,

it would grow into another
tree, like this one.

Acorns grow into oak trees.

Isn't that wonderful?

Did I tell you Mr. McFeely
loaned this tree to me?

In fact, I thought I might
draw a picture of the tree

and give it to him.

I'll leave the
acorn right there,

and make a little
present for Mr. McFelly.

There.

What do you think?

Well, this tree grows
just the way you grow.

You're growing, you're growing,
you're growing in and out.

You're growing, you're growing,
you're growing all about.

Now, I tell you, I'm not a
great artist by any means,

but I do like to
draw, nonetheless.

[KNOCKING] Let's
go see who that is.

Whoever it is, I'll show
that person my drawing.

Oh, it's Mr. McFeely himself.

Mr. McFeely.

-I have the other tree.

Would you mind
tree-sitting it as well?

-Oh, I'd be happy to.

Here is a drawing of
the first tree, the oak.

-Did you draw?

-I did.

I'm not a very good artist,
but I drew it for you.

-Well, I like it very much.

Thank you.

-You're welcome.

-Oh, I have an idea.

Stand right there.

-Yes?

-And I'm going outside and get
the other tree-- oh, in fact,

cover your eyes.

-All right.

-So I'll be right back.

-OK.

-Be right back.

-Cover my eyes?

-Cover your eyes.

I want--

-Must be a surprise.

-It is.

I want to see if you can
guess what kind of tree

this is by just touching it.

-Oh, just touching it.

-Just touching it.

-Oh, it, it feels
like a pine tree.

-You're right.

It's a pine tree.

-There we are.

-A pine tree.

-And I'd like to show you
where the seeds come from.

Now, this is a pine cone

-Yes?

-And every part of the pine
cone has a seed inside of it.

-You mean each one of these?

-Each one has a seed.

Now, see, I can give you a seed.

There's-- you can keep that.

-And this grew from such
a little seed as that?

-That's right.

Isn't that wonderful?

-Oh, it is wonderful.

And so are you.

-Well, I have more
deliveries, but I'll

be back to pick
up both the trees.

Now, you don't mind
tree-sitting, do you?

-Happy to tree-sit
for you, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, thank you very much.

And thanks again for
that oak picture.

-You're welcome.

-Speedy delivery.

-Speedy delivery to you.

Now we're tree-sitting
two trees.

Oak tree, meet pine tree.

Look at that.

In there is a little seed
that if it were planted,

would grow into a
pine tree like this.

It's amazing how a tree can
grow from a little seed.

I think I'll just
set up our model

of the Neighborhood of
Make-Believe right here.

We'll use the
Eiffel Tower today.

Oak tree behind the castle.

Who works in the factory?

Cornflake, especially.

And who lives in this tree?

Henrietta Pussycat
and X the owl.

What about the Museum Go 'Round?

Who lives and works there?

Lady Elaine Fairchilde.

And the Platypus
family in that mound.

And what about the clock?

Daniel Tiger.

OK.

Let's just use our
imaginations and pretend

that we're visiting the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

Here we go.

Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

-Oh, trolley, I'm
just not getting it.

Doesn't look like it at all.

I think it's too short,
and the light's no good.

That doesn't seem to
make any difference.

I think I'll just give up.

-What a charming drawing.

-Oh, hi, Mayor Maggie.

-Did you do this yourself?

-I did.

And it doesn't look like
Grandpere's place at all.

-It has the feel of it.

I really like it.

-But I wanted it to look
exactly like Grandpere's tower.

I'm just no artist.

-Why don't we show it to
Grandpere, see what he says?

-You can do what
you want with it.

I was going to rip it up.

-Want to come with me?

-No, thank you.

I'll go play soccer.

That's something I can do well.

-OK.

I'll let you know
what Grandpere says.

I'm telling you, Prince
Tuesday, I really like it.

-See you later, Mayor Maggie.

-OK.

Grandpere, [FRENCH], Grandpere?

-Ah, Mayor Maggie.

Bonjour!

-Bonjour, Grandpere.

[FRENCH]

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

-Yes, I do.

I have a drawing
by a local artist

that I wanted you to see.

-My tower.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

-I think so, too.

It had just the
right feel to it.

-Just what I said.

-Who is the artist?

-Do you really
like it, Grandpere?

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

-Yes, I did it.

And I didn't think
anyone would like it,

but Mayor Maggie
thought you might.

-Well, she was correct.

I would like to frame it and
put it out for everyone to see.

-Oh, that's wonderful.

-Would you help to make
the frame, [INAUDIBLE]?

-Oh, I'd be glad to.

-What about your soccer game?

-Oh, that can wait.

-Well, I'll see you
gentlemen later.

-Merci, Mayor Maggie.

-Yes, thanks, Mayor Maggie.

-Au revoir.

-Thanks a lot.

-I'm proud of you.

-And I, too.

-Thank you.

[HUMMING]

-Mayor Maggie.

-Hello, Henrietta.

What a beautiful day
to be living in a tree.

-Meow love meow treehouse.

-I was wondering, Henrietta,
what kind of tree is this?

-Meow.

Meow make believe meow.

-A make believe tree.

Of course.

-Oh, hello there.

-Hello.

-How are you all?

-How are you?

-Yeah.

I'm excited, that's how I am.

-Why are you excited?

-My cousin's coming to visit.

-Oh, you mean your
cousin Mary Owl?

-That's who I mean.

Cousin Mary, who lives
in a Sycamore tree.

-Meow love meow meow Mary.

-I think everybody does.

She's always thinking
up something fun

to do, like singing,
Tree, Tree, Tree, and all.

-Why don't we three
sing it, and that'll

help pass the time
until she gets here?

-Ah, sing and sign?

-Sure, sing and sign.

-Oh, good.

-[SINGING] Tree, tree,
tree, tree, tree, tree.

Tree, tree, tree.

Tree, tree, tree.

-Oh, hello.

-I thought I heard
Tree, Tree, Tree.

-Oh, indeed.

-I'm so glad you're here.

-I've taken up videography.

-Videography?

-Yes.

I'm an artist with
a video camera.

-Meow meow artist, meow?

-Well, some people
draw, some people paint,

and some people dance,
and some people sing.

There are all kinds of artists.

-What kind of
videos do you make?

-Mostly trees.

-X told me that you
live in a Sycamore tree.

-Oh, I do.

I love that tree.

Want to see some video of it?

-Oh, sure do.

-I'd like that.

-Just look right here.

It just keeps
growing and growing.

-Aw, do you have other
pictures of trees, cousin Mary?

-Oh, I surely do.

I'll show you the tape I made
for the OCS video course.

-OCS?

-Owl Correspondence School.

-Oh, of course.

-Yeah.

-Just look in here again.

-Hey, that last part was the
OCS headquarters, wasn't it?

-Yes.

And that's how I ended my tree
video, right at headquarters.

-Meow, meow, meow.

Wonderful video, meow.

-Oh, yes.

That was a wonderful video.

Some of the movements
of those trees

make me feel like dancing.

-Meow, meow.

-Know what it made me feel like?

-What's that?

-Singing the OCS song.

-Start it off, X.

-OK.

[SINGING] Owl Correspondence
School, dear OCS,

we do our lessons, and we get
a U or S, we hope for an S. So,

Owl Correspondence School, dear
OCS, Owl Correspondence School,

we love you best.

We love you best.

-Well, I surely love all of you.

I have a meeting at the castle,
but I'll see you all later.

Bye, bye.

-Bye, bye.

-All righty.

-Yes, Trolley.

Cousin Mary owl
came for a visit.

Oh, I do, too.

-Wasn't that a beautiful video
that cousin Mary made of all

those different trees?

I just loved seeing that.

Do you have any favorite trees?

I remember a tree in the
neighborhood where I grew up.

I used to talk to that tree,
tell it how beautiful it was,

and how glad I was
to live beside it.

I guess I've always loved trees,
ever since I was a little boy.

[SINGING] 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.

Fish, fish, fish.

You are hungry. [KNOCKING]
Oh, that may be Mr. McFeely.

I'll put the seeds in my pocket
and take the trees with me.

OK, [INAUDIBLE].

It is Mr. McFeely.

Come in, Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy delivery.

-Your trees.

-Thank you for tree-sitting.

-You're certainly welcome.

-Well, can we put them
in my delivery bike?

-Certainly.

-OK, it's right out here.

-Very good.

-There you go.

-Be glad to.

You're about to go
home with Mr. McFeely.

-In the basket right here.

-Wow.

You have really
decorated this tricycle.

-Well, you notice well.

I put some paper ribbon
in the spokes, and--

-I should say.

-Paper decorations
in the handlebars.

-And what's that?

-Well, you'll notice how
much your drawing helps.

-Thank you for using
that, Mr. McFeely.

-Oh, I was just wondering--

-Yeah?

-If you would like
to see a videotape,

how people make adult
trikes like this one.

-Do you have one?

A video of that?

-Right here in my
permanent collection.

Here it is.

-How people make
adult tricycles.

-Mm-hm.

-Do you have time
to show it to us?

-I certainly do.

-Good.

Let's put it on
picture [INAUDIBLE].

-Picture, picture, here we come.

-Yeah, right.

-And as we're watching the tape,
I'll tell you all about it.

-Very good.

How People Make Adult Tricycles.

Yours is a great one.

Let's look at for
picture, picture.

MR MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]: When
people make adult tricycles,

they start with the frame.

MISTER ROGERS
[OFFSCREEN]: The frame?

MR MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
This man uses this machine

to bend the metal tubes into
correct shapes for the frame.

MISTER ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]: Ah.

That's fun to watch.

Look at that.

MR MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
They're the frames.

After that, this woman welds
the different metal pieces

together.

And she makes sure the parts
are in place and secure.

And now she's ready to weld.

MISTER ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]:
Would you tell us about welding?

MR MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
Well, welding

is when you make two
parts of something so hot,

they melt together.

See how she does it?

MISTER ROGERS
[OFFSCREEN]: Mm-hm.

It must be extremely hot.

MR MCFEELY
[OFFSCREEN]: Oh, it is.

That's why she wears that
special helmet and gloves.

MISTER ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]:
So when it cools,

it must become very strong.

MR MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
Oh, yes it does.

And after the frame
parts are welded,

they need to be painted.

And that's this woman does
in this big paint booth.

She's spray painting.

MISTER ROGERS
[OFFSCREEN]: Uh-huh.

Just sprays it on.

MR MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
See all the different parts

of the frame?

MISTER ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]:
Looks like they're

on some assembly
line, or something.

MR MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
Well, they are,

and they move very
slowly through an oven,

so the paint can dry.

That's like a big oven.

MISTER ROGERS
[OFFSCREEN]: Uh-huh.

Looks like they're dancing.

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
Now, this woman

attaches the front
fork to the frame.

MISTER ROGERS
[OFFSCREEN]: The what?

MR. MCFEELY
[OFFSCREEN]: The fork.

That's where the
front wheel will go.

MISTER ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]:
Well, that does look like a fork

there.

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
And then this woman

attaches the crank.

MISTER ROGERS
[OFFSCREEN]: The crank?

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]: Mm-hm.

You'll see, there it is.

MISTER ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]:
Is that for the pedals?

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]: Yes.

That's where the pedals
will go a little later.

MISTER ROGERS
[OFFSCREEN]: Uh-huh.

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]: She has
to do a few things to it first.

MISTER ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]:
Look at that taking shape.

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
She's tightening it.

Around it goes.

MISTER ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]:
It's a beautiful design.

Now, here are all
the rest of the parts

that need to be put together.

MISTER ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]: I'm
wondering where the wheels are.

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
Here come the wheels.

MISTER ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]:
There they are.

MR. MCFEELY
[OFFSCREEN]: Well, now,

these two men need
to work together

to finish putting the
tricycle together.

And that's the rear
part of the frame.

MISTER ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]:
There goes the first wheel.

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]: Yep.

Now they put the back wheel on.

Make sure that one's secure.

He's pounding it down.

MISTER ROGERS
[OFFSCREEN]: Mm-hm.

The other wheel's on the back,
so now comes the third wheel.

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
On the front.

See, he's tightening
the bolts to make

sure it's on nice and safe.

MISTER ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]:
My, those tricycles

have a lot of parts, don't they?

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
They certainly do.

MISTER ROGERS [OFFSCREEN]:
Now, on go the pedals.

More tightening.

Spin it around.

Looks like it's almost finished.

But obviously it needs the
seat and the handlebars.

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
Right you are.

Well, there's the seat, and
there are the handlebars.

Now he's attaching
the hand brake cable.

MISTER ROGERS
[OFFSCREEN]: Oh, so you

can stop it by squeezing
the hand brake?

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]: Watch.

He'll do it.

That's how you stop
it, by squeezing.

MISTER ROGERS
[OFFSCREEN]: Ah-ha.

MR. MCFEELY [OFFSCREEN]:
That's the last thing they did,

and that's how people
assemble adult tricycles.

-Thank you, Mr. McFeely.

That's really interesting.

-Well, you're welcome.

-You know something that
I would really like?

-What's that?

-I'd like to hear you
sing your speedy delivery

song on your speedy
delivery tricycle.

-You've got it.

Just follow me.

-All right.

-Right this way.

I'll put the tape back
in the basket here.

-It looks so beautiful.

-All decorated.

Thank you very much.

I enjoyed decorating it.

Now I'll get on my bicycle,
my tricycle, I should say.

[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 delivery
is a speedy delivery.

Speedy delivery to
you, speedy delivery.

Bye, bye!

-Thank you, Mr. McFeely.

Was that fun?

What a wonderful neighbor.

Speedy delivery to you.

Do you ever ride a tricycle?

Well, sometime you could think
of making deliveries the way

Mr. McFeely does
in his tricycle.

I have my seeds in here.

And to think that
these seeds could

grow into an oak
tree and a pine tree.

Isn't that wonderful?

And then there would be more
beautiful trees in this world.

More expressions of beauty.

Just like you.

I like being with you.

[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.

It 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.

You will have things that
you'll want to talk about.

And maybe you'll have
things that you'll

want to draw about, too.

There's so many ways of saying
who you are, and how you feel.

I really like being with you.

Bye, bye.
