[Laughter]

[Woof]

Hurry up, t.
Clifford'’s waiting.

[Panting]
I'’m coming, cleo.

[Sniff sniff]

Hello there!

[Gasp]
what was that?

Hi! My name'’s k.c.

K.c.?

I didn'’t know
a dog lived
here.

Oh, we'’re just here
on vacation.

Hiya, k.c.
I'’m t-bone,

And this is cleo.

We'’re on our way
to meet clifford.

Who'’s clifford?

He'’s our friend.
He'’s great.

Would you like
to meet him?

Sure!

I'’ll come out.

He sounds nice.

Oh, my gosh!
[Gasps]

T-bone, whispering:
he'’s only got
legs!

What are you guys
gonna do today?

Huh?

Well...we may
go to the beach.

Really? I'’ve never
been to the beach.

What do you do there?

Uh...

Oh, well...

We run around.

But we don'’t
have to...

Run, that is.

Oh, running'’s fun.

What else?

There you guys are!

Both: clifford! Whew.

Wow!

You'’re the biggest
dog I'’ve ever seen!

Yep. I'’m pretty big,
all right.

Who are you?

My name'’s k.c.
Cleo and t-bone
invited me

To play with you guys
at the beach.

Great!

I'’ve never been
to a beach.

Oh, you'’re gonna
love it.

We run and jump around
and chase stuff...

Oh, great!
I'’ll go get my ball.

What a nice guy.

He'’s only got
legs, clifford.

Oh, my gosh!

What should we do,
clifford?

He wants to play
with us.

So...let'’s play!

I don'’t know...

We just have to remember

That k.c. Probably can'’t do
most of the stuff we can do,

So we have to look out
for him.

Yo, guys!

Let'’s go!

We'’d better hurry
so we can help k.c.
Cross the street.

[Panting]

I'’m hurrying
as fast as I can.

I'’ll meet you guys
at the corner.

You can slow down
if you want to.

I don'’t really
wanna catch up.

Why not?

I don'’t know.
It'’s just...

What if he'’s got
a disease or something...

And he wants
to play tag?

Huh?!

What if he'’s got some
kind of leg-losing disease

That he got from some
terrible germ,

And when he touches us,
we get the germ

And catch the leg-losing
disease and...

And then we all
lose our legs!

I don'’t think that
can happen, cleo.

Do you?

I don'’t know.

But I think
we'’d better we careful.

We have to wait
for the cars to pass.

I know. Thanks, clifford.

Looks clear now.
Let'’s cross.

Go ahead.
I'’ll make sure
the cars stop.

Ha ha ha ha.

You don'’t have to do
that, clifford.

There are no cars.

Well, this can be
a hard street to cross.

Do you have trouble
crossing it?

Well...no.

Huh. How '’bout you,
t-bone?

Huh? M-me?

W-well, see,
what--what happened
was, um...

Good morning, guys.

Got a new friend,
huh, clifford?

He sure is friendly.

[Ruff ruff
ruff ruff ruff]

Hello there, boy.

Have fun, guys!

[Gasps] is that the beach?

Hee hee, yah-hoo!

K.c., Wait.

The sand is kinda hard
to run on.

Cleo, did you see
charley pettin'’ k.c.?

I sure did!

It'’s like he hardly
even noticed

That he'’s only got
legs.

Yeah! I hope
he didn'’t pick up

Any leg-losing
germs.

Looks ok to me.

Hey, k.c., Let'’s go
over to the park.

It'’s got nice
soft grass.

Ah, no thanks,
clifford.

I wanna play
on the beach!

Ha ha ha ha! Whee!

Whoopee!

Come on, clifford.

Catch!

And he'’s only got
legs!

Here comes one,
cleo!

Cleo, y-you missed!

I don'’t wanna
touch it, t-bone!

It could have
leg-losing germs!

I really think you'’re wrong
about this germ thing, cleo.

I mean, I caught the ball,
and I feel fine.

Hoo-hoo!

Toss it here, cleo!

Um...

Ever seen
a lighthouse, k.c.?

K.c.: Wow! That'’s...

It'’s beautiful!

I wanna see it up close.
How do we get up there?

Gee, k.c.,
Rocky point'’s
kinda hard to climb.

Oh.

Is it too hard
for you?

Well, no...

Then come on!

[Panting]

Last one to rocky point

Is a rotten dog biscuit!
Ha ha ha!

Careful, k.c.

Whoa-oa-oa!!

Hey, clifford,
I think t-bone
needs some help!

He'’ll be ok.

He'’s been up here
lots of times.

Wow...

That'’s
a high one.

Let me help.

No. No, clifford.
I can do it.

Oof!

Ow.

T-bone?

Whoa-oa-oa!

K.c., Are you ok?

Yeah, I'’m ok.

But what were
you trying to do,
clifford?

I was just
trying to help.

Did I ask
for help?

Well, no, but...

Then why did you?

Because you only
have legs!

I do?!

Oh, my gosh!
You'’re right,
t-bone!

Where'’s
the other one?

Huh?
Huh?

Ha ha ha ha!

Oh...ha ha ha!
Gotcha.

Sorry, guys.
I was just kiddin'’.

I must have just
left it on the ferry.

Huh?
Huh?

Ha ha ha ha!

Gotcha again!

[Sighs] but I was
wondering

How long it would
take

Before somebody
mentioned...
[Whispers] my leg!

After all,
you'’ve been staring
at it all day.

Huh? I--i, uh--

Sorry.

It'’s ok. It'’s ok.

I'’m used to it.

I know it probably
looks strange
to you,

But I'’m still a dog,

And I like to do
the same things...
Any dog does.

I know. You can catch
a ball better than I can.

I can do
most things the same
as everyone else.

I really like doing
things for myself.

Sorry, k.c.

I know that...now.

But I do need help
sometimes.

When I do, clifford,

You'’re definitely
the guy I'’m gonna
ask. Deal?

Deal!

And you, cleo?

You'’ve been avoiding me

Like I had a disease
or something.

You don'’t?

Nah!

The thing is...
I'’m just looking
for some friends,

Same as anyone else.

And I'’d really like
to be friends
with you guys.

I'’d like to be your
friend, too, k.c.

Me, too.

Yeah.

Me, too.

Hey, thanks, guys!

Now I'’d really like to see
what'’s at the top
of that lighthouse.

Hey, clifford,
can you give me
a lift?

Are the stairs too hard
for you to climb?

No. Why climb
when I can take
the elevator?

Ha ha ha! Right!

Yeah!

Here we go!

[All laughing]
whoa! Oh!

Wow!

What a view!

Thanks, clifford.

Awoo!

Awoo!
Awoo!
Awoo!

Emily: clifford!

It'’s story time!

You wanna hear
a speckle story,

Don'’t ya?
[Ruff]

Ha ha. I thought so.

He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is
speckle and the old wagon.

One day when speckle
and his friends were playing,

Speckle saw something
behind a tree.

They gathered sponges
and buckets of soapy water

And went to work.

Now it was time
to paint the wagon.

Ravi wanted to paint it purple.

But luna wanted pea green.

Reba'’s favorite color
was blue.

And darnell
liked bright red.

[Arguing]

Speckled wanted everyone
to be happy.

So together they painted it
all the colors of the rainbow.

Then off they went
down the grassy hill

In their wonderful
rainbow wagon.

The end.

That was a great story!

Isn'’t reading fun?

[Ruff]

Clifford,
you lucky dog!

I'’ve never seen
a bone so big!

Are you gonna bury it,
clifford?

Sure am. Wanna help?

Yeah!
Yeah!

Let'’s go!

There you are.

The best fish '’n chips
on birdwell island.

Hmm. Looks like we might
get a storm this afternoon.

Hey, samuel,

I asked for
a fish sandwich,

Not a sand sandwich.

What is going on here?

Clifford!

Clifford!

Clifford!

Huh?

Clifford!

You can'’t dig here,
boy.

You'’re getting sand
in everyone'’s food.

[Whimpers]

Go do it
somewhere else,
please. Hmm?

That dog sure
likes to dig.

Now thisis
a perfect place

To bury your bone,
clifford.

Yeah! And you don'’t
even have to dig.

The hole'’s
already here!

It'’s like it was
meant to be.

Yeah, it'’s a nice
hole...

But not deep enough.

Here take this.
I'’m gonna make it
deeper.

Wow! He'’s good.

Yeah!
He'’s a natural!

Ok. Now my bone
oughta fit just right.

This tree
is gonna look great!

Seems a little
short.

Hmm. How did this hole
get so deep?

There'’s your
answer.

Clifford,
did you do this?

[Ruff]

That was not
a good thing to do.

[Whimpers]

[Sighs] the hole
we started here

Was for ourtree,
not for your bone.

We wanted to get it
in the ground before
the rain starts.

Clifford,

If you must dig,
go and do it
someplace else.

Please?

Ha ha ha. Ok! Ok.

I know you'’re sorry.

Now take your bone
and go.

[Woof woof]

I'’m letting you go
a little early today, class.

A storm is on the way,

And I want you all home
safe and sound
before it gets here.

Last time
we had a storm,

The library
was flooded
from the waves!

Do you think this storm
is going to make the waves

That high again,
miss carrington?

I suppose it'’s possible.

Maybe it'’ll turn into
a hurricane

With lots of rain
and really strong winds

That blow things
all around, like--

Like--like that!

Oh, my goodness!

Nobody does it better.

Nobody!

Clifford!

Emily elizabeth!

Clifford,
what are you doing?

You can'’t just
dig a hole here.

[Whimpers]

Sorry. But this is
not a good place

To dig.

You interrupted
our class.

You better go home
now, ok, boy?

[Whimpers]

Go on, clifford.

You, too, cleo.
You, too, t-bone.

T-bone: the sky'’s
getting dark.

Looks like
it'’s gonna rain!

Yeah. I should
go home, clifford.

Mrs. Diller hates it
when I get wet.

I get frizzy.
You know.

Yeah. Me, too.

Not the frizzy part.
I just should go home.

Ok. Thanks for trying
to help me bury
my bone.

Maybe I'’ll just bury it
in my backyard.

Great idea, clifford!

We'’ll see you tomorrow!

Yeah, this should do
the trick, violet.

Our flowers will be well
protected from the storm now.

[Splashing]

[Gasps]

Oh, dear!

Of course, nothing can
protect '’em from clifford.

[Ruff]

Would you mind doing
your digging somewhere else,
please?

Like on another island?

Now, horice.

[Whimpers]

The storm is
moving in fast.

It'’s gonna be
a big one.

Will the library be ok, dad?

Well, I think if we
can get this seawall
built in time,

Everything should be
just fine.

We'’ll have to dig up
plenty of sand and dirt.

We'’ll need it to make
the wall high enough

To protect it from the waves.

That'’s an awful lot
of digging.

Yes, it is.

I wish we had
a few more diggers
to help.

Wait a minute. I know
the best digger around.

Clifford!

I wonder where he is.

Ok, bone.

I don'’t think my digging can
bother anyone way out here.

So let'’s start digging.

Emily: clif...ford!

Clif...ford!

Emily elizabeth.

I'’m coming, emily elizabeth!

We'’re never gonna
get this done
in time, emily.

Sure we will.

Just as soon
as clifford gets here.

All: here comes clifford!

[Woof]

Clifford!

I knew you'’d come, boy.

We need your help.

We need you to dig!

[Ruh?]

Come on, boy.
No one digs better
than you do.

[Mm mm mm]

What'’s the matter, boy?

I told clifford
to stop digging
just this morning.

[Mm]

I told him
digging was not
a good thing to do.

I wouldn'’t let him dig
at school this afternoon.

And I told him
to go away and dig
on another island.

Poor clifford.

No wonder he
doesn'’t want to dig.

Clifford.

I know everyone'’s been
telling you not to dig today.

[Whimpers]

But we didn'’t mean
for you to think
that all digging is bad.

In fact, digging is one
of your best talents.

You'’re very good at it!

[Woof]

It'’s just that there'’s
a right time and a right place

For you to use your talent.

And right now,
if you dig here,

You'’ll really be
helping us.

[Ruff ruff ruff]

Go, clifford!

[Cheering]

Good boy!

Good work, boy!

[Cheering]

I love the way that dog digs.

That'’s clifford,
my big red dog!

[Thunder]

Let'’s go everyone.
The big storm is here!

[Sighs]

It feels good knowing
the library is safe.

We never could have done it
without the help of clifford.

He'’s a very cool dog.

Hey, clifford,
did you ever find a place
to bury your bone?

[Whimpers]

Don'’t worry.
I'’ll get you another bone.

A really big one.

I'’ll get you one,
too, amigo.

Me, too. You certainly
deserve it, clifford.

I'’ll get him one, too.

As long as he doesn'’t bury it
in my backyard.

Oh, horice.

And I'’ll help you bury
all those bones, clifford...

Someplace absolutely,
positively perfect...

Just like you!

Wow, t-bone!
Your sandcastle
looks great!

It sure does, t.

Thanks. I did
the whole thing
all by myself.

Clifford and I know
that it'’s always important

To be thoughtful of other
people'’s feelings and ideas.

That'’s why clifford'’s big idea
for today is respect.

You know
what would make it
even better though?

A great big flag.

No. I think it'’s great
just the way it is.

There. Now it needs
a big wall!

No, it doesn'’t!

Cleo, this is
t-bone'’s castle.

Before you change it,

You should find out
if he wants you to.

I'’m sorry. Next time
I'’ll remember to ask first.

Sometimes our friends
have thoughts and feelings

That are different
from ours.

When we take the time
to find out about
those differences,

It shows how much we care.

That'’s why clifford'’s big idea
for today is respect.
