[Laughter]

Woof.

[Laughter]

Hey, emily, let'’s stop
for a second, I'’m thirsty.

Ok, charley.

Clifford, let'’s stop
for some water.

Woof.

Both: wheee!

[Laughter]

Ahh, that'’s good.

There you go, clifford.

Ahh.

Look at that
bush, emily.

It looks like
a rhinoceros.

And that one looks
kind of like a rabbit.

Emily: there'’s a bird!

Woof.

Woof, woof.

Those trees
make clifford
look like cleo.

[Laughter]

Woof, woof,
woof, woof.

Uh-oh, look
at that sign.

Emily: no, clifford.

Huh?

See that sign?

It means no one'’s
supposed to go in there.

[Whimpers]

I'’m not sure why, boy,
but that'’s the rule.

Woof, woof, woof.

Hey, emily, let'’s
skateboard to town

And get some ice cream.

Sounds good to me.

Whoa, slow down,
clifford.

[Laughs] this
is great!

Where we going, big guy?

I want to show you
these funny bushes

Emily elizabeth
and charley found.

See that one
over there?

[Laughs] it'’s
a rhinoceros.

That one looks
like a rabbit.

These are great,
clifford.

Wait till
you see this.

I'’m cleo.

Cleo: [laughs]

Have I ever
steered you wrong?

[Laughs]

That'’s great,
clifford.

Now watch me.

I'’m a moose.

[Laughs]

[Laughs]

Oh, let me do one.

Unh, unh, whoa!

[Chuckles] you'’re
a tumbleweed, t.

Yeah, I'’m
tumbleweed!

[Laughs] wait,
I just remembered,

We'’re not supposed
to be in here.

We'’re not?

No, that sign means

We'’re supposed
to stay out.

There'’s a human
on that sign.

Cleo: that just means
that humans can'’t come in.

It doesn'’t say
anything about dogs.

I don'’t know.

I don'’t think anyone is
supposed to be in here.

[Chuckles] come on.

Have I ever
steered you wrong?

[Laughs] well,
as a matter of fact--

Never mind.

It is pretty fun
in here.

So, let'’s play tag.

Not it!

Not it!

Come on, clifford.

Can'’t catch me.

Ok, ready or not,
here I come.

[Laughter]

That was a great
place to play.

It sure was.

I can'’t believe
we'’ve never
been there before.

[Sniffs] do you guys
smell something
kind of funny?

[Sniffs]

Yeah.

[Sniffs]

Ugh, I think
it'’s t-bone.

Hey!

[Sniffs] I think
it'’s you.

I think it'’s me.

Maybe there was something
in the field

That made us all stinky.

Oh, well, it'’s
not so bad.

Whoa!

Phew, those dogs
really stink.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Whoo!

P-u! What'’s
that smell?

Clifford: woof, woof.

You guys smell like
you'’ve been rolling
in stinkweed or something.

[Whimpers]

I think you all
better go home
and get a bath.

Go on.

Stinkweed?

Of course!

There was
stinkweed
in that field.

Whew! We really
do need baths.

I can'’t go home
and get a bath.

Emily elizabeth
will know I went in

After she told
me not to.

I don'’t want
a bath, either.

Mr. Kibble will
just make me smell
all fruitified.

Too bad we can'’t just
get rid of this smell
ourselves.

That'’s a great idea,
t-bone.

It is?

Sure, if we get
rid of the smell
ourselves,

Emily elizabeth
won'’t have to know

I went into the field.

And I won'’t have
to go to the groomers.

[Gasps]
and I know just
how to do it.

Follow me.

Ok, guys,
time for a bath.

But you hate baths, cleo.

I hate water baths.

We'’re going to take
a sand bath.

Come on, guys.

Think it worked, cleo?

[Sniffs]

Hmm, can'’t really tell.

Let'’s go see.

All: eww, oh, ugh...

Oh, cli--clifford,
you need a bath.

[Whimpering]

Well, I don'’t think
we'’re going to get
rid of this smell

By ourselves, guys.

We better just go home.

Yeah, it'’s bath time
for everyone.

I guess we should stayed out
of that field after all.

Hey, look at
all the people.

Woman: we'’ll help
her to do that.

Second woman: it'’s time
to bathe these dogs.

Here comes
emily elizabeth.

Hey, clifford,
I heard you guys

Got into some
stinkweed today.

[Coughs]
whew!

I can smell
it, too!

[Whimpers]

That sign in the field
meant that no one

Was supposed to go
in there, clifford,

And now we know why.

Everyone else
knows why, too.

And they all
want to make sure

That you guys get
a really good bath.

Ok, everyone,
time to rinse.

There'’s my t-bone.

Who smells
so nice now?

That'’s my good
little girl.

Ruff, ruff,
ruff.

Oh, everyone makes
mistakes, boy,

But I bet next time,
you'’ll remember

To follow the rules,

Right, clifford?

Woof.

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

It'’s story time.

You want to hear
a speckle story,
don'’t you?

Woof, woof.

I thought so,
he'’s your favorite.

Emily: today'’s story
is "speckle and
the perfect painting."

One day, speckle decided
he was going to paint
a picture,

So, he got an easel,
canvas, and paintbrushes,

Just like a real artist.

Speckle was already
hard at work

When his friends
gathered around him
to watch.

Luna admired his blue,
cloud-filled sky.

Ravi thought the flowers
were so pretty

That you could
almost smell them.

And reba and darnell said
they couldn'’t have made

A better tree themselves.

Everyone said the painting
was wonderful,

But speckle thought
there was something
missing...

And he knew
just what it was.

Quickly, he painted
reba, ravi, darnell,

Luna, and himself
into his picture...

And all his friends agreed
that now it truly was

A perfect painting.

The end.

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

Woof.

[Chuckles]

[Laughter]

Clifford: woof, woof,
woof, woof, woof!

[Laughter]

Doggone noisy kids!

Here it comes, charley.

I'’ve got it, uhh!

It'’s all yours,
clifford.

It'’s going over
the fence, emily.

Mr. Bleakman!

Woof, woof.

Clifford!

[Whimpers]

Oh, no.

Mr. Bleakman
found our ball.

Uh, thank you,
mr. Bleakman.

Emily elizabeth,
would you and charley

Please take your ball
and your king-size canine,

Mr. Bleakman: and go
find something nice
and quiet to do

So I can finish
planting my potatoes?

[Whimpers]

Yes, mr. Bleakman,
we'’re sorry.

Yeah, we'’ll be
really quiet now.

Thank you.

Come on, clifford,
let'’s go.

Well, this game
is quiet...

And dull.

Yeah. I'’d rather
be playing ball.

Mr. Bleakman sure can
get grumpy sometimes.

That'’s for sure.

Sometimes I wish
he wasn'’t our neighbor.

Mmm?

Hey!

Where you going,
clifford?

Woof.

Is that mr. Bleakman?

It sure is.

Emily: I took
this picture
last summer.

Clifford had just gotten

A new inner tube
to play with.

There you go,
clifford.

It'’s all yours.

Woof, woof,
woof, woof.

[Laughs]

Oh, no.
Is it stuck?

[Groaning]

It'’s ok, boy,
just lie down,

And I'’ll help you
get it off.

[Grunts]

It--it'’s really stuck.

[Howling]

What'’s all
the commotion
over there?

Clifford got
his new inner tube

Stuck on his nose.

Oh, the poor puppy.

Puppy?

Horace, you'’ve
got to help him.

I know, I'’ll see what
I can do, violet.

Don'’t worry,
clifford.

Mr. Bleakman will help.

Now, let me get
a better look.

Mr. Bleakman: hmm.

Maybe if I just let
a little air out of it.

Be careful, horace.

Whoa!

You did it, horace!

Thank you, mr. Bleakman.

Aw, it was nothing,
really.

Yes, it was.

I'’m going to get
my camera and
take a picture.

You'’re a real hero,
dear.

Woof.

Ok, you two,
smile.

I guess mr. Bleakman
isn'’t always grumpy.

I guess not.

Hey, I even
remember once

When he was
kind of fun.

You do?

Sure, remember when
I got a pogo stick

For my birthday?

Charley: I just
couldn'’t figure out
how to make it work.

Dad says you just
put one foot on,

Then the other, then--

Wh-whoa!

[Chuckles] let me
try, charley.

Go ahead.

Wh--wh--wh--here
I go!

All right, emily.

Ha ha heh, ooh.

Ooh, whoa!

[Laughs]

That wasn'’t bad,
emily elizabeth.

Thanks.

But the real trick
to staying on a pogo
stick is balance.

Do you know how to do
it, mrs. Bleakman?

Ooh, heavens, no.

But horace here used
to be a real champion.

Hmm?

He did?

He did?

Will you show us
how to do it,
mr. Bleakman?

Please?

We could really
use some help.

You see, you need
a real firm grip.

[Laughs]

I'’ve still got
it, violet!

Wow!

He'’s really good.

He was voted
best pogo-sticker
at our grammar school

Years in a row.

It'’s really
not that hard,

Once you find
the proper balance.

[Chuckles]

[Chuckles]

Charley: oh,
how do you do it?

Please, let me try,
let me try.

Emily: oh, show me,
I want to know.

We sure had
a great time.

Yeah, that was fun.

Not like today, when we
have to play checkers

Instead of ball.

I had fun playing checkers
with mr. Bleakman once.

You did?

Mm-hmm, when I had
the chickenpox.

I felt fine,

But I didn'’t have
anything to do.

Oh, this is awful.

I can'’t go to school.

I can'’t play
with my friends.

I can'’t even
go outside

And play with clifford.

I am so bored.

Clifford: woof.

Hello, emily elizabeth.

I was just in the mood
for a nice game of checkers.

Would you care to join me?

I'’d love to.

But I have
the chickenpox.

I don'’t want you
to get sick, too.

Aw, don'’t worry about that.

I had those spots
a long time ago.

I can'’t get
them again.

So, let'’s play?

Great, can I be red?

Black goes first, you know.

I know, but red
is my favorite color.

Woof, woof, woof.

[Laughs] red
it is, then.

Mr. Bleakman
really did that?

Mm-hmm.

You know, he might be
kind of grumpy sometimes,

But most of the time,

Mr. Bleakman is
a really good neighbor.

Remember the time
he spent the day
with clifford?

They had lots
of adventures together.

Hey, my hat.

My paints!

My masterpiece!

Clifford, help!

Aw, clifford, move!

Woof.

Thank you, clifford.

You saved my painting.

Uh-oh, clifford!

Help!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Woof, woof, woof,
woof, woof, woof.

Wow, that was
really something.

Uh-oh.

Whoa!

[Laughs]

Whoa!

Clifford.

That was absolutely
the most fun

I'’ve had in years.
[Laughs]

They came home
the best of friends.

Yeah, I guess
you can'’t blame him
for being upset

About us messing up
his garden
this morning.

Why don'’t we go over
and see if we can

Make it up to him,
charley?

That sounds like
a good idea.

Woof, woof, woof, woof.

Whew. Now that'’s
a perfect garden.

Clifford: woof.

Oh, no.

Hello, mr. Bleakman.

We just want
to apologize again

For bothering you
this morning.

Well, thank you,
emily elizabeth.

Is there anything
we can do

To help you
with your garden?

Well, now that
you mention it,
there is one thing.

What?

You can come back
in about months

And share a batch
of homegrown potatoes
with me.

Wow, that
sounds great.

We'’ll be here.

Ok, clifford,
you can come, too.

I got it.

Cleo: oh!

Oh...

Emily elizabeth:
clifford and his friends
love to play games,

And everyone likes
to be the star.

But sometimes it'’s better
to work together

Than to try
and win the game alone.

All: I got it,
I got it.

Uh, guys, I think
we'’re doing
something wrong here.

Maybe we should try
working together.

Good idea, clifford.

It'’s worth a try.

Ok, then,
let'’s do it.

All: yes!

Emily: working
together as a team

Makes playing
more fun for everyone.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today

Is work together.

[Laughter]
