Ok, here I come!

[Gulp]
yii-eee!

Hee hee hee! Ok,
you won that round,
big guy.

Now it'’s my turn.

[Car horn honks][gasps]

[Gears grinding]

Hey, where'’s he going?

Let'’s go see!

Oh, forget it, joe.
It'’s really stuck.

[Panting]

Well, hi there,
clifford.

Did you come to help us
get out of this mess?

[Woof]

There he is, cleo!

He'’s helping those
telephone people

Get their truck
unstuck.

No job'’s too big
for clifford.

Whoo-hoo!
Thanks, clifford!

[Woof]

[Cleo barks]

[Both bark]

You'’re really
a big help.

[Honk honk]

You really are
a big help, clifford.

Sometimes I wish
I were big like you,

So I could be
helpful, too.

I don'’t think
you have to be big
to help.

Anyone can do it.

Emily elizabeth:
clifford!

That'’s emily elizabeth
calling.

I'’ll see you guys later.

Cleo: bye, clifford.t-bone: see you later.

Clifford'’s right.

Anyone can be helpful.

So from now on,
I'’m gonna be as helpful
as I can be.

Me, too, cleo!

This is never gonna all
fit in the car, violet.

But, dear,
most of this is yours.

The lawn chair,
the umbrella, the cooler.

Ahem,
all the necessities
of vacation.

Now, why don'’t you
go check the doors
and windows

While I load up
the car?

Yes, dear.

Hmm, I sure
could use some help

Getting all this stuff in.

Did you hear that,
t-bone?

Mr. Bleakman needs help.

[Both barking]

[Chuckles]
so you think I should
pack the cooler first?

Well, it'’s as good
a place to start as any.

[Ruff]

Ok, next goes
the garment bag.

Thank you, cleo.

Oh, good idea, t-bone.

The umbrella can go next.

[Ruff]

Lawn chairs.

Books. Snacks.

Suitcase , suitcase ,

Shaving kit,
picnic basket, beach toys,

And my favorite fuzzy
bedroom slippers.

[Sighs]
there.

Perfect.
Packed tight as a drum.

[Arf]

Oh, my goodness!
I packed a pooch!

[Barking]

Let me help you
out of there, t-bone.

[Grunting]
ungh!

Unh--whoa! Oh!

[Wind gusts]

[Ruff]

[Gasps]
oh, no!
My underwear!

[Grunts]

Oh, how am I gonna
get those down?

[Both barking]

Need some help,
mr. Bleakman?

No--um, all I did
was let those dogs
help me pack

And now my--my underwear
is growing on trees.

[Chuckles]

Maybe clifford can
help you, mr. Bleakman.

[Woof, woof]

[Inhales]

[Exhales]

[Woof]

Oh--my!

I think that'’s
the last pair, clifford.

Thank you.

Of all the embarrassing
things to have happen, i--

[Ruff]

Thank you, t-bone.

And thank you,clifford.

[Sighs]

[Sighs]
[door closes]

All ready to go, horace?

The dogs helped him pack,
mrs. Bleakman.

[Both barking]

Oh, isn'’t that
nice, dear?

Oh, yes. They were
loads of help.

Did you hear that,
t-bone?

We were loads
of help.

Uh-huh. Let'’s go find
somebody else to help.

[Squawks]

Scat! Shoo!

Go on, go on!
[Squawks]

Oh, those pesky crows.

I wish I could keep them
out of my garden.

[Growls]

[Chuckles]
it would be a big help

If you could
scare them away, cleo.

[Barks]

Ok, then. You dogs
keep these birds away,

And I'’ll bring
you both a treat
when I come back.

Looks like we got here
just in time, t-bone.

Are you sure
about this, cleo?

Those crows
look awfully big.

[Squawks]

[Cleo barking]

Try it, t-bone.
It'’s fun.

Uh, I don'’t think
the crows like it
very much.

[Barks]

What do you mean,
t-bone?

Look.

[All squawk]

Quick, run for it, t-bone!

[All squawking]

[All squawk]

You can come out
now, guys.

Thanks, clifford.

We did it, t-bone.

We got rid of every crow
in the garden.

Uh, actually, I think
clifford is the one

Who got rid of '’em, cleo.

But he wouldn'’t have
gotten rid of them

If we hadn'’t
needed saving.

Well, I guess
that'’s true.

So you wanna come with us

To help
someone else, clifford?

I'’d love to,
but emily elizabeth

Is taking me
to the park today.

Ok, see ya later,
clifford.

Wish us luck.

Good luck, guys.

Heh, it feels
kinda good

To be so helpful,
doesn'’t it, t?

[Both meowing]

Both: huh?

[Kittens meow]

[Kittens meowing]

T-bone: it'’s billy and betty
stuck in that tree.

What do we do, cleo?

I don'’t think
we can help

With this problem,
t-bone.

We'’ll have
to get clifford.

But clifford
went to the park
with emily elizabeth.

It'’ll take forever
to find him.

Looks like we'’re just
gonna have to do it
ourselves, t-bone.

You think we can?

Of course. We just have
to think of a plan.

[Billy and betty meowing]

I can'’t think of anything

When they'’re crying
like that.

Ok, ok. So you
go calm '’em down

While I do
the thinking.

Right!

[Billy and betty meow]

Hey, guys, uh, uh...

Wanna play a game?

[Both meow]

A game?

What kind of game?

Uh--uh, well, uh...

I'’ll pretend like
I'’m somebody else,

And you try
to guess who I am.

Sounds fun.
Ok.

[Imitates monkey]

Ooh!

[Both laugh]

You were
a monkey, right?

[Giggles]
a funny monkey.

[Both laugh]

Right. You'’re good
at this game.

Ok, kittens,
now it'’s your turn.

You pretend like
you'’re a squirrel
climbing down a tree.

No problem.i can do that.

That'’s incredible.

You guys look
just like squirrels.

Squirrels use their claws
to hold onto the tree trunk.

Can you do that?

I can do it. It'’s easy.

[Giggles]
it'’s easier than easy.

That'’s perfect!

You'’re
almost down.

Ooh! Unh!
Ooh-ooh!

Now use us
as a ladder.

Both: ow, ow, ow, ow,
ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

Whoa!

Oof!

Yeesh! I had no idea

Kittens had such
sharp little claws.

[Purr]
[purr]

But look, cleo,
we did it!

The kittens are down,
safe and sound! Ha ha!

[Meow]

I didn'’t think
we could rescue
the kittens

Without you,
clifford,

But we did it
all by ourselves.

I knew you guys
would make great helpers.

You really don'’t
have to be big

To be a big help.

[Both laugh]

[All laugh]

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

It'’s story time.

You wanna hear
a speckle story,

Don'’t you?
[Woof, woof]

[Giggles]
I thought so.

He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is "speckle
and the building blocks."

Reba had some brand new
building blocks,

But she also had a problem.

She didn'’t know
how the blocks were
supposed to go together.

So she asked her friends
if they could help.

Speckle looked at the blocks
and knew exactly what to do.

He put them in the shape
of a sporty race car.

Then luna
used the same pieces

And arranged them
to make a handsome horse.

When it was
ravi and darnell'’s turn,

They built a mighty robot.

After watching her friends,
reba realized

That the blocks didn'’t have
to be just one thing.

They could be anything
she imagined.

So she took the blocks
from the robot

And created
a shape of her own...

A spectacular castle.

Everyone was having
so much fun

That they continued to play
and build together

All that afternoon.

The end.

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

[Woof]

[Giggles]

[Squawks]

[Snores]

[Laughter]

[Yawns]
ooh, sounds like

Someone'’s
in mr. Bleakman'’s yard.

Hey, look at that.

It'’s billy and betty.

Race you
to the top, billy.

No fair.
You started first.

[Grunts]

Hey!

[Both laugh]

They sure are cute...

But mr. Bleakman
doesn'’t like anyone
to play in his backyard.

I'’d better
tell them to leave.

Hey, guys.

Both: hi, clifford.

Wanna play with us?

Sure, but not over there.

Come on, it'’s fun.

[Giggles]
totally fun.

Both: whoa!

Don'’t worry!
I'’ll get you!

Heh heh.
Whoo-hoo!

Whoa, that was close.

What a great game,
clifford.

Let'’s play it
again, huh?

Listen, you guys,

Mr. Bleakman'’s flowers
are very special to him,

And I don'’t think
you should--

Hey, look, billy,
a flappy thing!

Whoa, cool!

Let'’s get it!

[Horace hums]

Oh, no, mr. Bleakman.
He'’ll be so upset

To see the kittens
playing in his yard.

I'’d better not
let him see them.

Both: whee!
[Giggle]

You guys aren'’t
supposed to play here.

Ok, ok, ok.
Then we'’ll play

Up there!

Last one up is a bowl
of sour milk!

No fair!
You started first!

Horace: clifford.

What are you
doing here, clifford?

[Sniffs]

Aah.

Ah, yes. The flowers
do smell good this time
of year, don'’t they?

[Woof]

But I'’d like you to please
go home now, clifford,

So I can get
some work done.

[Woof]

Thank you.

Are you guys ok?

Ha ha! You'’re fun,
clifford!

Yeah, we really
like you!

Thanks, but let'’s just
stay in my yard today, ok?

Both: ok.

[Both giggle]

I have to stay awake
and watch the kittens.

I can'’t let them go
into mr. Bleakman'’s...

Yard.
[Snores]

Ahoy, clifford!

We'’re gonna play in
mr. Bleakman'’s yard.

No!

[Both snore]

Cleo: hey, clifford.

Oh, hi, guys.
[Yawns]

Wanna come
play with us?

I'’d love to,
but I have

To keep my eye
on the kittens.

What kittens?

Where'’d they go?
They were right here!

[Sniffs]
oh, no.

They must have gone back
to mr. Bleakman'’s yard.

We'’ll help you
find them, clifford.

Just give us a lift.

See anything?

Not yet.

Wait, somebody'’s comin'’!

♪ Doo, doo, doo, doo,
doo-doo, doo ♪

♪ Doo-doo doo doo... ♪[Telephone rings]

Oh, that'’s the phone.
I'’ll get it, dear.

Cool.

Let'’s climb inside.

There they are!

Let us down,
clifford.

T-bone and I will
take care of this.

Ooh! Oof!

Let'’s go
get '’em, t-bone.

Ok.

Hurry, guys.
They'’re in the clothes basket.

Hey, come on out
of there, you guys.

Oh!

Don'’t worry, cleo.

There'’s room enough
in here for everybody.

Aah!

Come on in.
It'’s really fun.

Well, it does
look kinda fun.

Don'’t you think so, cleo?

Ooh, look at your tail.

Tail? What about
my tail? Ow!

Ha ha! I'’m gonna get ya!

No, no! Leave
my tail alone!

[Laughs]
whoo-hoo!

Hey! Hey, wait for me!

I wanna chase
his tail, too.

Hey, come back here!

[Kittens laughing,
dogs barking]

Chasing t-bone'’s tail
does look kinda fun.

[Horace humming]

Oh, no.
Mr. Bleakman'’s coming.

There'’s going
to be trouble.

I'’ve got
to do something.

[Humming]

Horace: clifford.

Are you here again?

[Whimpers]

I want you
to go on home, clifford.

I don'’t have time
for your shenanigans today.

Whew! That was close.

It sure was.

Uh-huh.

Uh, guys, where are
the kittens?

Both: uh-oh.

[Kittens giggling]

Don'’t worry.
We'’ll get '’em.

Ah, look.
The dogs wanna
play tag again.

First one tagged
is a hairy
old fur ball!

No fair!
You started first!

[Dogs barking]

Horace: violet,
would you please help me

Get these roses
to the backyard?

Violet: coming, dear.

Quick, everybody out!
Head for my house!

Yipes!

Yeee!
Whoa!

Aah!

Whoa!

Whee!

Hee hee hee!

Horace: my yard!

Clifford.

Now, horace,
calm down.

Clifford, I asked you
to please go home. Now go!

[Horace coughs]

Just look
at this mess, violet.

Spraying water,
spilled birdseed,

Dirty clothes,
mud everywhere.

That dog is
an absolute menace.

Now hold on
a minute, horace.

What makes you think
clifford made
this mess?

Clifford always
makes the mess.

Well, not this time.

What do you mean?

Clifford couldn'’t fit
into that tiny bird feeder

To knock the seeds out...

And these muddy paw prints
are way too small to be his,

And I don'’t think
clifford started
that gush of water.

I think he was just
trying to stop it.

Well, if
it wasn'’t clifford
who did all this,

Who was it?

I think the answer
to that mystery

Is hanging right here
in front of us.

My overalls?

Oh, no, dear.
Kittens.

Both: mew, mew.
Mew, mew.

Well, I suppose
you could be right.

Maybe I'’d better just
take these mischievous
little kittens

Back home
where they belong.

That'’s a wonderful
idea, horace,

But isn'’t there
something else

You'’d like
to do first?

Uh, something else?

[Sighs]
yes, I suppose

There is something
I need to do.

Clifford,
I'’m really sorry

I blamed you
for all this.

It wasn'’t fair of me
to assume you did it

Before I knew what
was really going on,

And, uh, I just want
to say that I'’m...

I'’m sorry, ok?

[Slurps]

[Barks, slurps]

Ok, ok, boy.
That'’s enough.

[Snores]

Horace:
oh, clifford!

I'’ve got a surprise
for you, boy.

[Woof]

[Both meow]

[Laughs]

[Woof]

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

Whoa!

But it'’s best
to ask permission

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

Hey, what'’s this?

[Sniffs]

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?

Mmm, 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."
