[Laughter]

Woof!

T-bone: bone! Bone!
Who has the bone?

Bone! Bone!
Who has the bone?

You do.

Nope. Clifford.

Bone! Bone!
Now who has the bone?

Clifford.

No, I do.

Bone! Bone!
Who has...

T-bone, can we please
stop playing this game?

I thought you liked
this game, cleo.

I do, but this is about
the hundred millionth time
we'’ve played it.

I just wish
we could go outside
and do something.

It'’s so boring being
stuck inside all day.

It'’s not so bad.

There are lots of things
we can do inside.

Like what?

Well, uh, we...

We could,
you know, uh...

We could
make up a story.

Or?

Makin'’ up a story
sounds like fun.

How do you start,
clifford?

You just start.
Like, once upon a time,

I was picking up
emily elizabeth
from school.

[Yawns]

I was picking her
up from school,

Driving my brand-new
yellow car.

Cleo: hey, you can'’t
drive a car.

You'’re too young.

Anything can happen
in your imagination.

Really?

Then I wanna drive.

[Tires screech]

Does the car
have to be yellow?

Nope. Make it
any color you like.

I like purple.

A purple poodle dragster.
Hee hee hee hee.

[Tires screech]

Hey, guys, can I be
in the story, too?

Sure, t-bone.
Come on in.

What do you want
to happen, t-bone?

Uh, how about,
we'’re drivin'’ along,

And we'’re pickin'’ up
emily elizabeth?

We know all that
already, t.

Make something
happen.

Uh, ok.
It starts to rain.

No, it doesn'’t.

Yes, it does.

Ok, fine.
It starts to rain,

But luckily, my purple
poodle dragster

Comes specially
equipped with
a built-in umbrella.

Ha ha! This is fun,

Especially because
I'’m a royal prince...

And cleo is my driver.

You may think
I'’m your driver,

But I'’m actually
the queen...

And clifford'’s
our knight
in shining armor.

Let'’s make
his armor green.

Nah. Blue.

Green.
Blue.

Green.
Blue.

Green!
Blue!

Uh, how about yellow?

T-bone and cleo: perfect!

Cleo: with
a feather on top.

Where are
the king and queen

And shining knight
going, clifford?

Well, we tried to pick
emily elizabeth up at school,

But we found out
she'’d been captured

By a big green ogre
and taken away
to his castle.

Ooh, an ogre. Yes!

A big green ogre
with bad teeth
and funny ears.

[All laugh]

Ok, so if we'’re going
to the ogre'’s castle

To rescue
emily elizabeth,

We should take
a few things with us...

Like a picnic.

Cleo: and some games.

T-bone: and cake!

Clifford: and some maps.

Cleo: and an inflatable
swimming pool.

T-bone: and cake!

Clifford: and gas
for the car.

Cleo:
and pogo sticks!

T-bone: and cake!

We'’re off to rescue
emily elizabeth!

Ok, guys, let'’s go!

[Tires squealing]

Do we have to go far?

Nope. It'’s easy
to get to the castle,

Ifwe can get past
the flying pigs.

[Brakes screeching]

Flying pigs?

Uh-huh.

The ogre uses
flying pigs

To guard his forest.
See?

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Great idea
for the story, clifford.

Only, I think
the flying pigs
should be blue.

I think they should
be green.

Blue.

Green!

Green!
Blue!

Uh, how about yellow?

Both: perfect!

With blue hair
on top.

So how do we get past
the pigs,

O knight in shining armor?

Hmm.

We, uh...we...

I know! We could throw
cakes at them!

And while the pigs
are eating,

We make our getaway!

Hang on, emily elizabeth!

We'’re coming to rescue you.

[Tires squealing]

Look, guys!

Both: the castle!

Clifford:
that'’s where emily is.

This story is so good.

I know. It'’s great!

So what happens
now that we'’re at the castle?

Well, I guess
we open the door
and look inside

To see a big scary ogre.

[Gasp]

Y-you mean...

Like that?

[Thunder]

All: aah!

Wow. It'’s really raining
out there.

Mac?

Hi, guys.
What are you doing?

We'’re making up a story.

Want to play?

Hmm. What'’s the story about?

Oh, it'’s the greatest!

[Talking very fast]
it started when clifford
drove up in this yellow car

And then he let me drive
and I turned it purple

And t-bone made it rain,
only we had an umbrella,

And then these pigs
came along who were

Green, no, blue, no, green,
then yellow.
With blue hair.

So we threw them
some cake and built
some wings

And a crank and flew
across the river
to rescue emily

From the castle
of the big green ogre.

Cool story!

So what happens next?

Well, we were
just about to open
the castle door...

[Knock knock]

[Door creaks]

We have come to rescue
emily elizabeth,

Hideous big green ogre!

Rrahrr!

You know, all ogres
aren'’t green and hideous.

Some, like myself,
are actually--

Ahem--

Quite handsome.

Fine. You can be
a handsome ogre.

Now can we have
emily elizabeth back?

Hmm.

No! Now go away!

Rrahrr! [Snort]

Wow! Good ogre, mac.

Now chase me!

Ok. Rrahrr!

Aah! Oh, no! Help!

Ohh!

Ok, so if the ogre'’s
chasing cleo,

Then--oh, I know!
The pigs are chasing me!

Emily elizabeth:
clifford! Over here!

Save me!

It'’s good to see you, boy.

Thanks for the rescue,

O big red knight
in shining armor.

See you home
for dinner.

Mac: ogre coming through!

Cleo: excuse me!

T-bone: watch for
flyin'’ pigs!

Hey, look!
The sun'’s come out!

Mac: that'’s ok, clifford.

Ogres aren'’t afraid
of sunshine.

Rrrhhhr!

Cleo: right.
A little sun
isn'’t gonna stop us.

No, not in the story.

Here, on birdwell island.

T-bone: really?

All: whoa!

Come on!
Let'’s go outside.

But...i don'’t want
to go outside.

I thought you couldn'’t
wait for it to stop
raining, cleo.

That was before we started

Doing this really fun
storytelling thing,
clifford.

It isfun
to make up stories.

I love it!

So let'’s stay inside
and make up some more.

That'’s the great thing

About telling stories,
guys.

You don'’t have to stay
inside to tell them.

You can tell them
anywhere.

Really?

Uh-huh.

You hear that, ogre?

The story continues.

Only this time,
I'’mgonna chase you.

Unh!

[Barking]

Clifford, now that
you'’ve rescued
emily elizabeth,

Would you mind being a pig

And chasing after me?

Sure! Oink, oink, oink!

Ha ha ha!

Oh, no!

A giant red pig
is chasing me!

[Barking]

Ha ha!
Oink, oink, oink!

Ha ha ha!

[Panting]

This would be
a whole lot easier

If I had my purple
poodle dragster.

Whoa!

[Barking]

[All laughing and barking]

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

It'’s story time.

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

[Woof woof]

[Giggles]
I thought so.

He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is...

Speckle
and the impossible meal.

One night speckle invited
his friends over for dinner.

As they sat around
the dinner table,

Speckle asked them what
they would like to eat.

Ravi wanted hot dogs...

While reba craved
a big, old hamburger...

And darnell thought
grilled cheese would be nice,

But luna was in the mood
for tuna.

Since nobody wanted
to eat the same thing,

Speckle wondered what
he was going to do.

Then he got an idea...

And got right to work on it.

The g*ng listened to speckle
bustling in the kitchen

And wondered what tasty treat
he could possibly be making.

Then voilaà!

Speckle appeared with
the world'’s first yummy

Hot dog-hamburger-cheese-tuna
pizza!

And everyone agreed it was
exactly what they wanted.

The end.

That was a great story.
Isn'’t reading fun?

Woof!

[Giggles]

[Panting]

Ahh...

[Deep breath]

Ahh...

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

Clifford!

Clifford!

Woof! Woof!

[Giggles]

Are you trying
to keep cool, boy?

[Whines]

How'’d you like to go
cool down at the beach?

Woof!

Clifford, let'’s go
to the beach!

Woof!

Oh...

Ah...

Oh...dear...

Horace, wouldn'’t it
be easier just to use
the electric dryer?

When I was a boy, we didn'’t
have an electric dryer.

The sun is the best
clothes dryer there is.

Oh, I suppose
you'’re right, dear.

With all this heat,
our clothes will be dry
in no time.

And we won'’t be using
any unnecessary electricity.

Oh!

And the wet clothes will
keep us nice and cool.

Ahh...that cold air
feels good.

Mrs. Handover: jetta,
I hope you'’re not standing

In front of that open
refrigerator again.

Oh, no, mom.
It'’s closed.

Good. Keeping that door
open wastes a lot
of energy, you know.

Right. Remember that, mac.

Would you please keep
an eye on cosmo

For a few minutes, dear?

I have some things
to do upstairs.

Sure, mom.

Just shout
if you need me.

Come on, cosmo.

Let'’s go find a way
to cool us down.

Cosmo hot.

It'’s a real scorcher today--

One of the hottest days in
birdwell island'’s history.

The mayor is asking
everyone to do their best
to conserve energy.

And that means everyone
needs to think about only
using electrical items

That are absolutely necessary.

That means take it easy
on the kitchen appliances--

The toaster...

Blenders...

Fans...

Ok, cosmo.

Almost time
for silly fairy tales
to start.

Yah! Hooray!

Cosmo watch silly fairy tales.

Again, the mayor has asked
that we avoid using
any unnecessary energy...

Here come
the silly fairy tales,
cosmo.

Yay! Cosmo watch
silly fairy tales!

And now it'’s time for...

Silly fairy tales!

Silly fairy tales!
Silly fairy tales!

[Whimpers]

That'’s weird.

Hey!

What'’s going on?

[Horns honking]

Oh, no, clifford.
The traffic lights
aren'’t working.

[Murmuring]

Oh, my goodness!

All the power
on the island
has gone out.

That'’s what happens
when too many people

Use too much electricity
at the same time.

Hello, mr. And mrs. Bleakman.

Hello,
emily elizabeth.

Clifford.

We were on our way
to the beach when
the lights stopped working.

Looks like you two
weren'’t the only ones
headed for the beach.

Well, mrs. Diller
is making the best
of things.

But everyone else
looks so unhappy.

Uh-huh. I hope the traffic
lights come back on soon.

When I was a boy, we
didn'’t have traffic lights,

And we got to the beach
just fine.

Back then there were
traffic police with signs.

The green sign meant
you could cross.

The red sign meant
you had to stop.

That'’s great!

Well, maybe we
could help out

By doing something
like that today,
horace.

Hmm, maybe.

Of course, we'’d need a red sign
and a green sign,

And they'’d need to be really big
so everyone could see '’em.

Hmm, a really big
red sign.

I wonder where we
could find that.

I wonder.

[Whines]

Woof!

[Tweet]

Great job, clifford!

You make a perfect
traffic light.

Hi, emily elizabeth.

Hi, vaz.

Clifford'’s doing a great job
as a traffic light.

But I can'’t wait for the power
to come back on.

How come?

I was right in the middle of
learning about the rain forest

When my computer shut down.

When I was a boy,
we didn'’t have computers
to teach us things.

We read books.

Maybe you should check
the library, vaz.

I'’ll bet it'’s full
of rain forest books.

Great idea!
I'’ll go find out.

Silly fairy tales!
Silly fairy tales!

[Cries]

Mom! What are we
supposed to do?!

Well, I'’d say this is
a perfect time to take
a walk to the beach.

A walk?

[Tweet]

[Cosmo wails]

Aw, what'’s wrong,
cosmo?

I want silly fairy tales.

Cosmo wants to watch
his favorite tv show,

But the power is out.

When I was a boy,
we didn'’t have tv
to entertain us.

Ahh! No tv?

No silly fairy tales?

That'’s so sad,
mr. Bleakman.

You must have been sobored
all the time.

Nope. We entertained
ourselves.

We put on shows
and sang songs.

Oh, that sounds wonderful.

Yeah! I could put on
a show for cosmo.

I'’m sure he'’d love to see me
act, wouldn'’t you, cosmo?

[Babbles]

Heh heh heh.
He'’s just teething.

Come on, mom. Let'’s take cosmo
down to the beach,

And mac and I will do
a show for him.

[Whines]

Ok, dear.
Sounds like fun.

Drink up, clifford.

You deserve it.

Clifford did a wonderful job
helping with all those cars.

But I'’m sure sheriff lewis
can take care of things now.

Hi, charley.
Hi, mary.

[All chuckling]

Well, that'’s one way
to stay cool today.

What are you guys
doing?

We were playing a video game,
but you can'’t do that
without electricity.

You know, when mr. Bleakman
was a boy,

They didn'’t have
video games.

Right, mr. Bleakman?

Uh, well, yes,
that'’s true.

What did you do
for fun, mr. Bleakman?

Well, we played cards...

And sometimes
we played board games.

That sounds like fun.

Want to come
to the beach

And play cards with us,
mr. Bleakman?

You, too, mrs. Bleakman.
Come on, emily.

Well, sure!

That sounds great!

Heh heh. So what
are we waiting for?

Let'’s go!

Ready for another story,
cosmo?

Yes! More story.
More, more story.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Once upon a time,
there was a very smart,

Very pretty,
very sweet girl

Who went to visit
her grandmother.

Oh, why, grandma,
what big yellow teeth
and smelly breath you have.

But...

[Sniffing]

I'’ve got just the thing
to take care of that.

[Whimpers]

Hello, everyone.

The power
is now back on.

You can all go home!

[Overlapping remarks]

Well, look at that,
t-bone.

Looks like no one
really wants to go home.

Oh, we'’re all
gonna go home...

Just long enough to
turn off all unnecessary
electricity-wasting items.

Then we'’re all
coming back down here

To spend an electricity-free
evening together.

That sounds
like a great idea,
mr. Bleakman.

I believe I'’ll come back
and join you myself.

You know,
when mr. Bleakman
was a boy,

People used to love
just hanging out
at the beach

With their good friends
and family.

And I guess some things
never change.

Woof! Woof!

[T-bone laughs]

Hey, look, guys.

There'’s k.c.
He'’s helping mrs. Young.

Emily elizabeth: everyone
can use a helping hand
now and then.

And helping someone out
can sometimes turn out
to be fun.

It looks like k.c. Really
likes helping mrs. Young.

I always feel good
when I help someone.

Hey! Why don'’t we all
go and see

If we can find someone
to help right now?

Ok!
Great!

Emily elizabeth:
the best part of helping others

Is how good it feels.

The person you'’re helping
feels good,

And so do you!

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

Help others!
