[Laughter]

Woof!

[Whistling]

[Snoring]

[Snoring and whistling]

[Yawning
and muttering]

[Chuckles]

[Whistling]

[Snores and yawns]

[Gasps] whoa!

Clifford, would you
mind givin' us
a little warning

Before you wake up
next time?

Uh, sorry, cleo.

[Yawning loudly]

Hey, clifford...

What's emily elizabeth
doin'?

She's working
on a big assignment
for class.

All the kids
are writing about
what makes them special.

Emily elizabeth says
everyone is special

And has things about them
that they can be proud of.

I know what
makes mespecial.

I'm a natural-born
leader.

[Sniff sniff]

Ok, guys...
The bone is buried

Right behind
these bushes.

Follow me.

Uh...hee hee!

'Scuse me, guys.

I said,

"Follow me."

Are you sure

The bone is behind
thosebushes, cleo?

[Chuckling]
oh, clifford...

Have I ever
steered you wrong?

Uh...

You steered me
wrong, cleo!

Well, I'm not
steering you wrong
today,

So follow me.

I'll take you
right to it.

I can feel it.

The bone is
right in...there!

Um...after you,
clifford.

No, that's ok, t-bone.

You go ahead.

No! I...

Ow! Yaahh!

Ayee!

What?!

There.
[Panting]

What'd I tell you?

Piece of cake.

Yeah, I'm
a natural-born
leader.

Ohhh...

Now, thatwas being
a real leader,

Don't you think?

It sure was, cleo.

Hey, guys.
What's going on?

Emily elizabeth
is writing a report

On what makes her
special.

So I was just sharing
with everyone

What makes me
special.

Cleo is
a natural-born
leader.

Hmm. There are so many things
that make mespecial,

I wouldn't know
where to begin.

There's my good looks,

My intelligence.

Your modesty?

I've won awards
for best smile...

Best posture...

Best tail wagger...

Cutest ears.

Wow, mac,
you really do have
lots of specialness.

Uh-huh. What about you,
clifford?

Did you figure out
what's special about you?

That's easy.

Clifford is big!

[Chuckling]
I sure am!

He's also nice, and
he always helps people.

I do like
to help people.

Like the time when
you helped chief campbell.

We have a special guest
to help us today, kids--

Clifford,
the big red dog.

Yay!
Yay!
Ha ha ha!

Now, who knows
what to do

If your clothes
ever catch on fire?

All: stop, drop,
and roll!

That's right!

Can you show us how
to do it, clifford?

Woof woof woof woof!

Stop...

Drop...

Whoa!
Whoa!
Uhh!
Ohh!

And roll.

Ha ha!
Ha ha!
Ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ok, clifford,
you can stop rolling now.

Woof!

Thanks for your help,
clifford.

That was really great.

[Excited chatter]

[Chattering excitedly
and shouting]

Woof woof woof!

Helping can be
really fun.

Uh-huh, and I can think
of some other things

That make you special,
too, big guy.

Me, too!

You're special
in lots of ways,
clifford.

So are you, t-bone.

I am?

Unhh!

How am ispecial,
clifford?

Well...
You're really nice.

So are you.

You're very cute.

So are you.

Uh...

Thank you.

You've got lots of spots
on your back.

But...lots of dogs
have spots.

Uh, well, uh...

Uh...um...

I know there
must be somethin'

Really special
about me.

There are
lots of things.
There's--

Wait.
Don't tell me.

I want to
figure it out
myself.

I'll come back later
and let you guys
know what it is.

Ok. See you later,
t-bone.

Let's see...
What makes me special?

I really love...
Tummy yummies!

I guess most dogs do.

[Backup warning beeping]

Firemen
are really special.

They put out fires
and save lives

And all kinds
of neat stuff.

[Sighs] well...

It's been a long,
hard day today. Huh.

Oh, but look who's here
to cheer us up.

Hi, t-bone.
Hey, t-bone.

[Chuckles]

Come on over here,
t-bone.

Rrr...ruff!

Oh, it sure is nice
to see you, buddy.

You always
brighten our day.

Roo roo rooo!

[Men chuckle]

I love recess time!

[Indistinct chatter]

I'm gonna play
first base.

* Bluebells, cockleshells *

* Roses, daisies,
clover *

Oh, it's so hard
to jump rope

With just people.

I wish we had
someone else to twirl.

Ruff ruff ruff.

Looks like t-bone
wants to play.

Heh heh heh heh.

Way to go, t-bone.

Ooh, t-bone,
that was amazing.

Aw, things
always go better

When t-bone's around.

Hee hee hee.
He's such a great dog.

Hey, sheriff lewis
is home.

Gosh, he looks tired.

I better go see
if he's ok.

Ruff ruff ruff.

Well, there's
my little buddy.

Ruff ruff ruff.

Hiya, t-bone.
Good to see you.

Boy, it was rough
at work today.

I sure could use
one of those nice,
big t-bone hugs.

Oh, thanks, buddy.

I feel better already.

Ruff ruff ruff.
Ruff ruff ruff.

Ha ha ha ha!
Get it, t.

You can do it, buddy.
Ruff.

Ruff. Grr.

You are one strong puppy,
aren't you, boy?

Ha ha ha ha.

You won again, boy.

Uh-oh. Look at the time.

Gotta get back
to work, t-bone.

[Car door shuts]
[engine starts]

See you tonight, t-bone.

Ruff ruff ruff.

[Truck horn honks]

[Engine bell ringing]

[Horn honks]

Hey, here's
the champion
jump-roper.

See you later.
See you, champ.

Heh heh heh.
Ha ha ha ha.

Ruff ruff.

Unh!

Hi, clifford.

Oh, hi, t-bone.

I was just going
to play ball.

Wanna join me?

Sure. But first
I have to tell you

I figured it out.

Figured out what?

I figured out
what makes me special.

I make people feel better.

You sure do.

I made fire chief campbell
feel better,

And emily elizabeth
and jetta,

And sheriff lewis.

You-you're making me
feel pretty good

Right now, too, t-bone.

Come on, clifford,

Let's go see who else
we can find to cheer up.

You've got it, t-bone.

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 elizabeth:
today's story is

"Speckle
and the homegrown garden."

One sunny spring day,

Speckle and his friends
decided to grow

Their very own garden.

After they had
prepared the soil,

They planted
rows and rows of seeds,

Carefully marking
what each row would be.

As the seeds sprouted,

Luna and darnell were
in charge of watering,

While speckle,
reba, and ravi

Took turns weeding,

So the vegetables could
grow big and strong.

And after many days
the vegetables did grow,

And grow and grow,

Until finally the crop
was ready to be harvested.

Everyone pitched in,

Picking the freshest,
plumpest vegetables

They'd ever seen.

And that night speckle,
luna, reba,

Ravi, and darnell

Enjoyed the most
scrumptious meal,

Eating vegetables
that they'd grown together.

The end.

That was a great story.

Isn't reading fun?

Woof.

Heh heh heh.

Purple and pink journal.

Blue pen, green pen,

Orange pen.

I think I'll use
orange today.

Hmm, now, let's see.

No, no, that's not right.

Grr.
[Slurping]

Grr.

Ahem!

Could you please chew
a little more quietly?!

I'm trying to write
something amazing

In my journal.

[Whining]

Hmm...i know!

I'll use my green pen today,

Not my orange pen.

Now, let's see.

Uh...

No...

Hmm.

Aah. Now it's tooquiet.

I can't think
when it's this quiet.

Grr. Grr.

Oh, mackie,

I haven't written
one single thing

In my journal yet.

Hi, jetta.
Woof woof woof.

Hey, mac, you wanna
play fetch with clifford?

Ruff.

Ruff ruff.
Woof woof woof woof.

[Chattering]

[Chattering]

Hop on.

Unh. Uhh.

How's your journal
coming, jetta?

Just great,
emily elizabeth.

Wow, you filled
a lot of pages.

Well, there's a lot
to write about.

Oh, I know.

You can write about
so many different things,

Like, oh, well--

What are you
writing about?

Well, today I'm
finishing a story

I started at school.

Yesterday I wrote
about a dream I had,

And the day before
I just drew some
pictures.

What about you?

Oh, uh, I can't tell you.

It's kind of private.

Oh, I understand, jetta.

Journals are kinda private.

Clifford: woof woof.

Ruff ruff.

Heh heh. Ok, guys,

This time I'm gonna
throw it really far.

Ruff ruff ruff ruff.

Ruff ruff.

I wish I knew
what emily elizabeth

Was writing.

Then maybe I could think
of something to write

In my journal.

"And I won an exciting trip
on a ship to hawaii,

"But I'm only allowed
to bring one good friend.

The question is,
which good friend
do I bring?"

Wow! Emily elizabeth
is gonna take a friend

To hawaii.
[Gasps]

She has to take me.
She just has to!

Heh heh heh.
Good job, guys.

That was fun.

Oh, you have such
a great throwing arm,

Emily elizabeth.

No wonder the dogs
just love playing with you.

Well, thanks, jetta.

I think I'll
write about it
in my journal.

So, um, if you
need help studying

For the spelling test
tomorrow,

I'd be happy to quiz you.

Well, great.

Then after
you quiz me,

I can quiz you.

Oh, that's ok,
emily elizabeth,

I just want to help you.

After all, that's what
good friends are for.

Last night I wrote
a big, long poem

About clifford.

If it's about clifford,
it has to be big.

There you are,
emily elizabeth.

I brought you
a special cupcake.

It's made
with macadamia nuts.

Uh, thanks, jetta.

Macadamia nuts come
from hawaii, you know.

Really?

I didn't know that.

So, emily,
can I read the poem

You wrote
about clifford?

I don't think so,
charley.

The stuff I write
in my journal

Is really just for me.

Ok. Here you go.

You know,
emily elizabeth,

You shouldn't
be so shy about
showing people

What's
in your journal.

You're a really
great writer.

[Gasps]
oh, no!

I almost forgot.

I'll be
right back.

Jetta sure is
being nice to you
lately, emily.

I know.
It's kind of weird.

But I sorta like it.

Here you go.

You can't eat
that cupcake
without milk.

'Course, it'd
probably be better

With coconut milk...

But it's all
they had.

Coconuts grow
in hawaii, you know.

Huh?
Huh?

Thanks, jetta.

You're welcome,
emily elizabeth.

I can't wait
until emily elizabeth
takes me with her

On that trip to hawaii.

Heh heh heh heh heh.

Ruff.

I'm finally going
to have something
absolutely amazing

To write about
in my journal.

Hi, je--

Emily elizabeth,
you look absolutely
exhausted.

Why don't you
sit down and relax

While I clean
your room for you?

Clean my room?

Mm-hmm.

I brought a feather
duster from home,

But you'll need
to point me towards
the vacuum.

Actually, you might
need to show me

How to use it, too.

But I'm a very
fast learner.

Clean my room?!

[Vacuum cleaner humming]

I wish you'd
let me help, jetta.

Oh, don't be silly.

There's hardly anything
in here to clean.

I'm very tidy,

Just like you,
emily elizabeth.

Tidy people
are wonderful
to travel with,

Don't you think?

I guess so.

I mean, you wouldn't
want to share

A hotel room
or a ship's cabin

With a messy bessie,
would you? Heh heh heh.

I guess not.

Oh, you sure have written
a lot of stuff

In your journal.

[Gasps]
jetta!

Oh, you can
let me read it,
emily elizabeth.

We're such
good friends.

Can I read
your journal, jetta?

No! I--i mean,

You probably couldn't
read my handwriting,
anyway.

Besides, we--
we don't have time

To read journals
right now.

Uh, I'm going
to take you out

For some coconut
pineapple ice cream.

Coconut pineapple ice cream?

Yecch!

Gosh, this stuff is heavy.

Thanks for helping me
take these packages

To my mom's store,
clifford.

Woof.

Hi, emily elizabeth.
Hi, clifford.

Need some help?

I'm always here
for you, you know.

Jetta, I was hoping
I might see you.

Could you go somewhere
with me?

Yes! Oh, yes,
I'll go with you.

Oh, I thought
you'd never ask.

I'll be right back.

You are gonna love
the new outfit

I got for the trip.

Trip?

* La hula hula hula *

[Giggling]

* La hula hula hula *

[Giggling]

Ok, emily elizabeth,

I'm ready to hula.

Hawaii, here we come.

Hawaii?

Of course. Isn't that
where you want me
to go with you?

Oh, I'm sorry, jetta.

I just wanted you
to come with me
to the sea shell

To deliver these boxes.

You're not taking me with you
on your trip to hawaii?

What trip to hawaii?

The one I read about
in your journal.

[Gasp]

You read my journal?

Just a little bit of it.

Jetta, you didn't want me
to read your journal.

Why did you think
it was ok to read mine?

I didn't want you
to read my journal
because...

It was empty.

But you have all kinds
of neat stuff in your journal.

Like winning that trip
to hawaii.

It doesn't matter
what's in it.

A journal's personal
and private,

And you shouldn't
have read mine.

Does that mean
you're not taking me
on the trip to hawaii?

There is no trip
to hawaii.

That was just something
on my wish list.

I wished I would win
a trip to hawaii.

You're not supposed
to write down wishes
in a journal!

You can write
whatever you want.

A journal's private,
just for you.

That's what makes them
so special.

Well, it's not fair.

I really wanted
to go to hawaii.

This is for you,
emily elizabeth.

Honestly, jetta, there
really is no trip to hawaii.

I know.

I want to apologize.

You're right about
journals being private.

I didn't want anyone
to look at mine,

And I never should
have looked at yours.

I'm sorry.

Well...ok.

Thanks, jetta.

But since I did see
your journal,

I want to show you
a few pages of mine.

It's not empty anymore?

Nope. I wrote all about
the amazing things

I imagined us doing
in hawaii.

There's a drawing
of us sunbathing

On the deck of the ship.

See?

And here's us
learning the hula.

And this is a story

I wrote about
an adventure
inside a volcano.

Sounds great.

After I finish
writing about hawaii,

I'm going to write
about a trip
to the south pole.

There'll be penguins
and seals.

Of course, I'll have
to stop at home
and change suitcases.

Everyone knows
you can't wear
a grass skirt

At the south pole.

Hi, t-bone.

Can we play, too?

I'm not playing, cleo.

You're not?

What are you doing,
t-bone?

I'm cleaning my doghouse.

Ugh. Wouldn't you rather
be playing with us?

Well...yes.

Then let's play.

Emily: nothing's
more fun than playing
with your friends.

But it's a good idea
to be responsible

And finish your work
before you start to play.

Come on, t-bone.
Hit it back!

Well...no.

I made a promise
to myself

To finish cleaning
my doghouse first.
Then I'll play.

Ok, t-bone.
Can we help?

No, thanks.

Are you sure?

Uh-huh. This is my job.

You guys keep playing.
I'll be done in a minute.

Emily: it feels good
to finish a job you start.

That's why clifford's
big idea for today

Is be responsible.
