[Laughter]

Woof!

Ready, guys?

Ready.

Ready.

Ready!

Ok.

Here it comes!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

I think I'’ve got it!

No, no, I'’ve got it!
I'’ve got it!

[Gasps]

Hey, you said
you had it, cleo.

Sorry, t.

B-b-but look.

Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!
Ruff! Ruff!

What is she wearing?

I can'’t believe she went
out in public like that.

What is that
thing anyway?

It'’s no big deal.

It'’s just a cone collar.

They help to keep you
from scratching

So that a sore, itchy spot
can get better.

Well, it'’s
her own fault then.

She wouldn'’t be wearing
that awful thing

If she hadn'’t scratched
so much.

Uh-huh.

If I ever found out
I might have to wear
one of those things,

I'’d stop scratching
completely.

I'’d do anything
to keep from wearing
one of those.

I mean, just look at her.

That'’s really sad.

[Sighs] it is sad,
isn'’t it?

I'’m glad it'’ll never
happen to me.

Or me.

I think it could happen
to any of us.

[Laughs] oh, no.

I would
control myself

And just stop
scratching.

Me, too.

♪ Ooh dum dee dum
do do do do do ♪

I think we should
stop talkin'’ about
itching

And get back
to playing.

Come on, you guys.

Let'’s go play.

I win! I win!

[Sighs] you always win
when we race, clifford.

Let'’s play
something else now.

Oh! How about
hide-and-seek?

I'’ll be it!
You guys go hide!

Ok!
Let'’s go!

, --

What'’s the matter,
cleo?

Do you have
an itchy spot?

Oh, uh, itchy spot? Me?

[Laughs] no, no, no,
no, no. Don'’t be silly.

I was just--i--i--

Uh, checking my paw.

Well, looks great.

Gotta hide now. Bye.

, ...

, , !
Ready or not, here I come!

Ah-ah...

Ah-choo!

Hooray for me!

It'’s clifford I see!

Hooray for me!

It'’s mac I see!

Hooray for me!

It'’s cleo I see!

Cleo?

Are you ok?

T-bone,
you found cleo.

I know that.

But cleo doesn'’t seem
to know it yet.

Cleo?

Cleo?

Cleo?

Cleo?
Cleo?
Cleo?

Uh, heh heh.

Uh, hooray
for t-bone!

He--he found me.

Cleo,

Do you have...
An itch?

A-a-a-an itch?
No, no, no, no, no.

Uh, I was just,
you know, heh,

Knockin'’ the leaves
out of my fur. Heh.

Ow!

There'’s
a big red spot

Behind your ear,
cleo.

You'’d better
stop scratching, cleo,

Or you'’re going to end up
in a cone.

A cone?

Y-y-you mean,
like the one that
other dog was wearing?

I can'’t wear a cone!

It'’d be too awful!

Oh, then just
stop scratching.

I will!

I--i--i mean,
I won'’t.

I--i--i mean,
I will stop,

And I won'’t
scratch.

Good for you.

You'’re strong enough
to control yourself.

Right.

I'’m not sure
you can make yourself stop.

When you have an itch,
you scratch.

You should go see
dr. Dihn, cleo.

She can help make
your itch go away
completely.

I don'’t need it
to go away.

I just need
to stop scratching,

And everything
will be fine.

Uh-uh-uh.

Unh! Right.

Stop scratching.

Well,
it'’s almost time

To pick up
emily elizabeth
from school.

I'’ll see you guys
tomorrow.

Good luck with
the not scratching,
cleo.

Thanks, big guy.

I am ready for some
serious diggin'’ today,
clifford.

Me, too.

I can'’t wait
to feel the dirt
moving beneath my paws.

Look, there'’s cleo.

Clifford:
I hope she'’s in the mood
to do some digging, too.

Cleo'’s always
in the mood
for diggin'’.

Hey, cleo.

Cleo.

Uh,

Cleo'’s not here.

Cleo, it'’s us.

Clifford and t-bone.

Come on out.

Uh-uh.

Then we'’ll
come to you.

No!

Are you ok, cleo?

I'’m ok. I'’m just
kind of busy right now.

I'’m, um, uh,

Counting my squeak-toys,
and, um--

Oh, I just
lost my place.

I guess I'’ll have
to start over.

We could help you.

No! I mean,

This could take
all afternoon.

I have a lot
of squeak-toys, you know.

You guys go on ahead
and dig without me.

Hmm.

Uh, cleo?

Are you wearing
a cone?

Uh-huh.

I look terrible,
don'’t i?

No.

Not at all.

I tried to stop scratching,

But I just couldn'’t.
You were right, clifford.

When you have an itch,
you have to scratch.

I'’ll bet that dog yesterday
tried really hard
not to scratch, too,

And I bet she was really
glad when she finally
got to see dr. Dihn

And got some help
to make the itching stop.

Is that what happened
to you?

Uh-huh.
Now I feel terrible

That I was staring
at that other dog

And saying
she looked awful.

It'’s hard
to really know

What another dog
is going through

Unless you go through it
yourself.

Is the cone as bad
as you thought
it would be, cleo?

No. It'’s just kind of hard
to run and play

The way I'’m used to doing.

Well,
maybe you have to try
running and playing

In different ways.

Right! Let'’s try
playing ball.

[Squeak]

I said I had a lot
of squeak-toys.

Here it comes!

Ohh!

Hey--uhh!

Well, that didn'’t work
very well.

Try again. You'’ll get
the hang of it.

Nose it over here,
cleo.

Ok. Here goes.

All right, cleo!

Yes!

Ruff!
Throw it to me again!

Uhh--whoa!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

I'’ve got it! I'’ve got it!

Whoa--uhh!

I'’ve got it!

Ok, t-bone. Throw it back.

Right in the old
cone-basket.

Look at that ball go.

Heh heh heh heh.

[Bonk]
uhh.

[Gasps]

Mac?

Cleo!

You'’ve got a cone.

Uh-huh.

And you'’re out in public.

Yes, mac.
I am wearing a cone

In public.

I had an itch
I couldn'’t stop
scratching,

So dr. Dihn
put it on to help me
get better.

Now, if you'’ve got
a problem with that,

You can just
go and play with
somebody else.

Ok?

Well, i--

I mean, you--

I mean--

Do you want to play
with me or not?

[Sighs] yes.

I want to play with you.

Hee hee. Good.

Then let'’s
plaaaay ball!

Over here!
I'’ve got it!
Throw it to me!

Heh.

Got an itch, mac?

Don'’t worry
about a thing.

You'’re gonna look great
in a cone.

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

It'’s story time.

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

Ruff! Ruff!

Heh heh. I thought so.

He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is "speckle
and the slumber party."

"It was nighttime
at speckle'’s slumber party,

"And everyone was ready
for bed,

"But ravi
couldn'’t fall asleep.

"He was afraid of the dark.

"Well, everyone knew
what that felt like,

"So, speckle lent ravi
his special teddy bear

"To keep him company
throughout the night.

"Darnell shared
his favorite blue blanket.

"Luna offered
her snuggly stuffed doll.

"Reba even put
her night light
right by ravi.

"Snuggling
with his friends'’ gifts,

"Ravi felt wonderful
and ready to sleep,

"But now
no one else could sleep.

"They missed
their bedtime buddies.

"Then ravi said
there was enough room
under his blanket

"For everybody,

"So, they all piled in
together,

"And with their
bedtime buddies close by,

"And with the bright,
full moon shining on them
through the window,

"The g*ng
happily fell asleep.

The end."

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

Ruff!

Heh heh.

Oh, mr. Bleakman.

Thank you so much
for your help.

Those flowers
are just what I needed

To make my annual
garden party perfect.

Oh, there'’s
nothing prettier

Than a perfectly planted
petunia.

Yeah! [Slurps]

Yum. Chocolate.

No, no, cosmo.

If you lick all the batter,
there won'’t be any cake.

The guys with the extra
tables and chairs
are here, mom.

Oh, good. I'’d better
go talk to them.

No, cosmo,
not the flowers.

Yeah.

Pretty.

Oh, cosmo.

We'’re gonna have
to call a sitter for you,

Or I am never gonna be ready
for this party.

You don'’t need
to call a sitter, mom.
I can watch cosmo for you.

Oh, I don'’t know, jetta.
He'’s quite a handful.

I can do it, mom.

Besides, you'’ll be
right here if I need you.

Well,
all right, dear.

Call me
if you need help.

Don'’t worry, mom.

Cosmo and I
are gonna have
lots of fun.

[Laughs]

Come on, cosmo.

Let'’s go play.

[Cosmo laughs]

Cosmo: good horsey.

Horsey, go!

Horsey, go!

[Sighs]

[Gurgles]
again!

Uhh.

Wasn'’t that fun, cosmo?

Again! Again!

Again! Again!
Again!

Again!

Mrs. Handover: is everything
all right, jetta?

Yes, mom!

Everything'’s great!

Hi, jetta.

Woof!
Ruff!

Hi, guys. I'’m sorry
I can'’t play today.

I'’m watching my brother
while my mom gets ready
for her party.

Would you like
some help, jetta?

We love playing
with cosmo.

Uh, no, thanks.

I can handle it.

Oh! Again! Again!

Again!

[Sighs]

Ok. Here we go again.

Jetta, maybe you could try
and get cosmo

To do something quiet
to calm him down a little.

Like read a book,
or something.

He'’s too young
to read.

Again!

Again!

Besides, cosmo
needs action.

Yeah!

Well, clifford
can'’t read, either,

But he loves it
when I read to him.

I'’m as active as cosmo,

And I love it
when my dad reads to me.

[Cosmo giggles]

[Groans]

Ok.

It'’s worth a try.

Let'’s read cosmo
a book.

Here'’s a good one.

"Far-flung fairy tales
from far-off lands."

There are tales
from africa, asia, europe.

This one'’s called
"the shell boy."

Cosmo: cosmo!

I think we have
a winner.

Emily elizabeth:
"long, long ago

"And far, far away,

There lived a poor fisherman
and his wife."

I am so hungry.

I hope my husband
returns soon

With lots of fish
from the sea to eat.

[Boat approaches]

[Sighs] here he is now.

Oops. Sorry, wife,

But I have returned
from the sea

With my catch
at last.

I hope
you caught
lots of fish.

I'’m starving.

I'’m starving, too.

Look!
A treasure chest.

Maybe it'’s full of fish.

Nope. No fish.

Wait.

[Sighs]

Look, a clam.

Great. I'’ll make us
clam chowder.

Manhattan
or new england?

Hello, mother!

What is it, wife?

It'’s a boy.

A real boy.

Well,

We can'’t eat that.

Wait!

Whoa!

Whoa-oh-oh!

What?

Don'’t you see,
husband?

We'’ve been blessed
with a son.

Hi, daddy.

He is kind of cute.

He'’s our own
little shell boy.

Shell boy?

He needs a more
distinguished name
that that.

Ok. How about
fisherman phineas flounder'’s

One and only amazing
abalone seashell boy
from the lost lagoon?

Not bad.

That'’s a name
that will take him far.

Emily elizabeth:
"and the fisherman
and his wife

"Came to love the little
shell boy very much.

"It wasn'’t long before
the little fellow grew up

"Into the bravest
and strongest young man
on the island,

Ready to head out
into the world
to seek his fortune."

More, emily elizabeth!
More! More!

"So, fisherman
phineas flounder'’s

"One and only amazing
abalone seashell boy
from the lost lagoon

"Set out.

"He went to a small village
in the heart of the island

"And entered the shop
of the local shoemaker,

Ready to make his fortune
as a shoemaker'’s helper."

Um, you'’re not an elf
by any chance, are you?

I don'’t hire elves
anymore.

I am fisherman
phineas flounder'’s

One and only amazing
abalone seashell boy

From the lost lagoon.

It'’s a name
that will take me far.

[Snoring]

Hey!

Um, sorry.

Does that mean
you'’re not an elf?

Uh, yes.

Yes, you are an elf?
No.

No, you'’re not an elf?
Yes.

Yes, you are an elf?

Look, do I get the job
or not?

You look
like an honest kid.

Ok, you'’re hired.

Yes!

How much do you pay?

Pay? I never paid
the elves.

What?

Oh, I suppose
I could pay you
on commission,

Although we do have
major cash flow
problems.

Mind if I pay you
in shoelaces?

Aw, forget it.

Emily elizabeth: "so,
fisherman phineas flounder'’s

"One and only amazing
abalone seashell boy

"From the lost lagoon

"Left the shoemaker'’s shop,

"And once again, he set out
to seek his fortune.

"This time, his quest
led him to the castle

Of the grumpy old giant."

Whoa.

Grumpy giant!

Oh, wow.

Look at that.

There'’s nothing prettier

Than a perfectly planted
petunia.

Fee, flea, a cup of tea,

I hate soup,
and soup hates me.

Hey, uh, mr. Giant.

Huh?

Down here!

Ohh! Go away

And stop tugging my pants.

Wait! Wait,
mr. Giant!

Please, uh,
I want to talk
to you.

Huh?

Whoa!

[Coughs]

Are you still here?

Excuse me for noticing,
mr. Giant, sir,

But, you know,
you seem a little grumpy.

Well...!

I can'’t help it.

I didn'’t have
my nap today.

Oh, I get grumpy
when I miss my nap, too.

[Sighs]
I used to go to sleep

To the sound
of my magical, musical
sleepy-bye mobile,

But the batteries
ran down.

I knew I should'’ve
bought rechargeables.

[Mobile plays slowly]

Ok, ok, ok, I get it!

Just make it stop!

You know, uh,
you'’re kind of nice.

Are you an elf?

No, I am not an elf.

So, who are you?

I am fisherman
phineas flounder'’s

One and only amazing
abalone seashell boy

From the lost lagoon.

[Yawns]
that'’s quite a name.

Makes me
kind of sleepy
just to hear it.

What is it again?

I am fisherman
phineas flounder'’s

One and only amazing
abalone seashell boy

From the lost lagoon.

[Snoring]

[Whispers] it'’s a name
that will take me far.

Emily elizabeth:
"the shell boy'’s long name

"Put that giant
right to sleep,

"And the giant
was so grateful

"For the good
and restful sleep,

"That when he woke up,
he gave the shell boy

"A wondrous, giant chicken

"That laid eggs
of the purest gold.

"So, the fisherman'’s wife
was right.

"The name
fisherman phineas flounder'’s

"One and only amazing
abalone seashell boy
from the lost lagoon

"Did take the shell boy far.

The end."

Well,
look at this.

You'’ve done
a great job

Of looking after
cosmo, jetta.

Thank you.

Oh, it wasn'’t hard, mom.

Especially after
emily elizabeth
and charley came to help.

I'’ll take cosmo now,
so you kids can play.

Uhh! No go! No go!

More stories. Yeah! Yeah!

It'’s ok, mom.
He can stay here.

We all want to hear
another story.

Woof!

Well, ok, honey.

What story
would you like
to hear now, cosmo?

Cosmo want shell boy again.

Again?

Now jetta read shell boy...
Please?

Oh, ok.

Shell boy it is...

Again.

[All laugh]

Emily elizabeth: playing
with someone else'’s toys
is fun...

Whoa-oh-oh!

But it'’s best
to ask permission

Before you use something
that doesn'’t belong to you.

Hey, what'’s this?

Wow! Cool!

This must be
clifford'’s new toy.

Let'’s see
what it can do.

I don'’t know, cleo.
That toy isn'’t ours.
It'’s clifford'’s.

I don'’t think
we should use it without
asking him first.

How would you feel
if someone used
your favorite toy

Without asking first?

Hmm. I wouldn'’t like it.

Ok. I'’ll wait
till clifford comes back

And ask
if I can use it.

Hi, guys.

Hi, clifford.

We came to see
if you could play

And saw your cool new toy.

Can we play with it?

Sure. Thanks
for asking, cleo.

Emily elizabeth:
asking permission

Before you use something
that doesn'’t belong to you

Shows that you respect
that person

And the things
that belong to them.

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

Is "have respect."
