[Giggling]

[Grunting]

[Panting]

Hey, guys, look!

There'’s someone
at mr. Carson'’s house.

I wonder who it is.

Uh...hello?

Hey-hee! Hey!
How you doing?

I'’m doing fine.
Thanks!

My name'’s t-bone.

Clifford: woof!

Wow!

Are you red,
or what?

Get a load
of you!

I'’m clifford,
and this is cleo.

Hi.

Yeah, nice to meet you
there, curly.

Curly?

My name'’s artie.

My human is here
visiting mr. Carson.

Oh, we were just on our way
to the park to play ball.

You wanna come?

Love to, red!

Only right now,

I'’m kinda stuck
behind this fence.

Can you help
dig me out?

But if your human comes out
and finds you gone,

Won'’t he worry?

Mr. Tooma? Naw!

He probably
locked me in here
by accident.

Well, if you'’re sure
it'’s ok...

Absolutely!

Arr-brr-urr-rr!

Ha. Thank you
so much, red.

Let'’s roll!

But what about
this mess we just made?

Oh, oh, yeah, that.
Well...

There you go.
Good as new.

Am I right,
or am I right?

Man: artie?

Where are you? Artie!

That'’s mr. Tooma!

Gosh, artie,
he sounds upset.

Maybe you shouldn'’t have left
the yard without him knowing.

Oh, relax. It'’s cool.
You'’ll see.

Artie,
where you been?

I been worried
about you.

And did you do
this? Did you?

[Whines]

Ha ha. Oh, well,
dogs will be dogs,
I suppose.

Ha ha ha ha!

Wow. That artie
is one smooth
operator.

Ruff ruff!

Heya, red!

Oh, hi, artie.

So what are you
doing today, more
fun at the park?

Uh-huh. I was just on my way
to get cleo and t-bone.

All right! Play time!
Let'’s go-o-o-o!

Cleo, cleo, are you home?

Curly! Are you home?

Well, hello to you!

What have we got
here?

[Squeak squeak squeak]

Hoo hoo hoo!
I love it!

I love it!

Today must be
her grooming day.

Let'’s go see
if "t" is home.

Right behind you, red.

Gosh, it'’s too bad
t-bone wasn'’t home,
either.

Oh, well.
Red, it looks like
it'’s just you and me

And the hedgehog!

[Squeak]

That looks like
cleo'’s hedgehog.

Well, there'’s a good
reason for that--

It is cleo'’s hedgehog!
Ha ha ha ha ha!

You took
cleo'’s hedgehog?

Took? No!

Borrowed...sure!

Without asking?

Believe me, red,
I would have asked,

But she wasn'’t home.

And if she was, you know,
she'’d let us borrow it.

Either way, we got it!

Am I right,
or am I right?

Uh...that'’s not
the point.

Oh, come on!
We'’re not gonna hurt it.

Here, catch!

Ha ha ha.

Well, I guess we can
play with it a little bit.

But we have to take it back
before cleo gets home.

Wouldn'’t have it
any other way.

[Squeak]

[Squeak]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

It has to be here.

It just has to
be here.

It couldn'’t
just walk away.

[Gasps]

Cleo'’s looking
for her hedgehog.

Guys, this is
a total disaster.

I can'’t find
my hedgehog toy
anywhere!

Wait...

Maybe I left it
under my dog bed!

Cleo, wait!
Artie and i--

Whoa! Whoa...

Hold the phone,
red!

You'’re not gonna
tell curly we took it!

Of course!

Bad idea! B.i.! B.i.!

That'’s only going
to make her feel
even more upset!

See, the important
thing is we have to
calm cleo down,

Make her feel good.

Am I right,
or am I right?

Well, i...guess so.

We'’ll just let her
find it...herself.

Hey, curly!

Is that your hedgehog?

Wha--wh--where?

Yes, my sweet hedgehog!

Ooh! Ooh! Muah-muah!

I thought you were lost,

And you were really
here behind this tree
the whole time!

Oh, artie,

Thank you!
You'’re the best!

[Whimpers]

So what do you think,
clifford?

Was I right, or was I right?

You were right, artie.

This is the biggest hole
I'’ve ever seen.

Hey, well, let'’s
have some fun.

See how much...
Deeper we can dig.

I don'’t think
we should, artie.

Ok. But you'’re gonna miss out
on an awful lot of big bones.

Bones? Really?

Oh, yeah.

I smell some awfully
big ones down there.

[Sniffs] oh, oh...

[Panting]

[cr*ck]

[Rumbling]

[Gasps]

[Laughs]

[Horn honks]

Uh-oh. Gotta go, red.
I'’ll catch you later.

Clifford, clifford,
what happened?

[Whimpers]

It was terrible,
guys.

Water
was everywhere.

All the dirt
turned into mud.

And then the workers
came back,

And artie just ran away.

Why would he do that?

I guess he knew we had
done something wrong,

And he didn'’t wanna
get into trouble.

But he was the one
who told you to dig.

I know, but I knew
it wasn'’t right.

Oh, I shouldn'’t have let him
talk me into doing it.

I don'’t think artie
is very nice.

Sure he is. He found
my hedgehog toy for me.

No, he didn'’t, cleo.

Artie is the one who took it
in the first place.

What?

He just pretended
to find it

So you wouldn'’t
be mad at us.

What do you mean, us?

Well, artie took it,
but then...

I played with it, too.

I let artie talk me into
doing lots of things

I knew were wrong.

Helping him get out
of his yard,

Playing with cleo'’s toy,

Digging at
the construction site.

Wow. He seemed like
so much fun.

Well, he is fun,
but from now on,

I'’m never gonna let him
talk me into doing

Anything that doesn'’t
feel right to me,

No matter how much
fun it is.

All right, clifford.
Good idea.

I never thought
I'’d say this--

But do you think t-bone
and I could get you

To take a bath?

Whoo-hoo. Yeah. Heh heh.

Whoo.

Watch out. Cannonball.

Hey, come on, guys.
Let'’s play "drench the dog."

Uh, no, thanks, artie.

I don'’t really like
that game.

Ok, ok. I'’ve got a better idea.

Let'’s hose down the yard
and make our own slippery slide.

That'’ll flood the lawn.

Aw, this lawn could use
some water, and it'’ll be fun.

Am I right, or am I right?

Whoa.

Cleo, t-bone, and I
have rules we like
to play by.

We play fair,
and we always try to do
what we think is right.

If you wanna
play with us, artie,

You have to play our way.

Well, you are one
big, red drag.

If that'’s the way
you wanna play,

I'’m outta here.

Wow, you really stood up
to him, clifford.

You sure did, big guy.

Thanks, guys. Come on,
let'’s finish my bath.

Ok.

Great.

Here we go.

Cleo:
go, t-bone.

Whoa-ho.
Heh heh.

All right, ok. So
the way you'’re playing

Looks like it just might
possibly be kind of fun.

It is fun.

What do you think,
clifford?

You think I could
take a turn?

Sure.

I think you'’re gonna like
playing our way.

Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah.
Oh--oh, whoa.

Whoa-whoa-oh.

Am I right,
or am I right?

You are definitely r-r-right.

Emily elizabeth: clifford.

It'’s storytime. You wanna hear
a speckle story, don'’t you?

Woof woof!

Heh. I thought so.
He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is speckle
and the too-full toy chest.

One day, speckle realized
he had so many toys,

His toy chest couldn'’t
hold them all.

Darnell suggested
that speckle

Give away some of his toys.

And that sounded like
a good idea.

So with the help
of his friends,

Speckle started
cleaning out the chest.

Darnell pulled out some
swim fins and a snorkel

And thought they would be
a lot of fun at the beach.

So speckle gave them
to darnell.

Luna discovered
some roller-skates.

Speckle told her to please
take them home with her.

Reba found a fire truck
with a real siren.

She loved it so much
that speckle wanted her
to have it for her own.

Ravi and speckle dug out
matching badminton rackets

From the very bottom
of the chest.

Speckle gave one racket to ravi
and kept one for himself.

As his friends played with
the toys speckle gave them,

Speckle realized how good
it made him feel

To share his toys
with his friends.

The end.

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

Woof.

Heh heh.

[All talk at once]

Gosh, clifford, I wonder
what everyone'’s looking at.

Clifford, clifford!
Yay! Come on.

You have just got to see
this, emily elizabeth.

Ms. Carrington
has a boyfriend.

A boyfriend?

Ms. Carrington
has a boyfriend?

That'’s what I said.

Come on, everyone.
She wants us to come in
and meet him.

[All talk at once]

Ok, class, settle down.

I have some
exciting news to share
with you this morning.

I'’m getting married.

All: what?

Married?

[All talk at once]

Woof woof.

I'’d like you all
to meet my fianceé
frank williams.

Hello, everyone.

This is so amazing.

How did you two meet,
ms. Carrington?

Heh. Well, let'’s see...

Frank and I met
at the beach

When he visited
the island last year.

At the beach?
How romantic.

Well, I'’m not much
of a water person, though.

I prefer to stay
on dry land.

Huh?

Frank is a botanist.

He studies plants.

I'’ve traveled all over the world
looking for plants

That no one
has discovered before.

The jungles of south america.

Whoa.

The deserts of africa.

I'’m hoping to find some
interesting plants

Right here on birdwell island.

Wow. That
sounds cool.

I'’d like to be a botanist

And work out in the jungles
and deserts someday, too.

Well, actually,
I don'’t spend all that
much time in the jungles.

Most of the time,
I work in a classroom.

Frank is a college
professor.

He teaches,
just like me.

But there aren'’t any colleges
on birdwell island.

Oh, that'’s true,
emily elizabeth.

That'’s why frank and I'’ll
be living on the mainland
after we'’re married.

Wow. You'’ll have to take the
ferry back and forth every day.

I hope it'’s on time.

It wouldn'’t be right for our
teacher to be late to class.

Well, actually, I won'’t
be your teacher anymore.

[Gasps]

I'’m going to miss
you all very much.

I'’m hoping you'’ll
write to me often,

Tell me all about what'’s
happening on birdwell island.

But, ms. Carrington,
you'’re our teacher.

Mrs. Grumbly
will be your new teacher.

She'’s one of the most
interesting people
I'’ve ever met.

And she'’s got lots of
great ideas that she can'’t
wait to share with you all.

Interesting is good,
I guess.

I don'’t want this new
grumbly teacher.

I want ms. Carrington.

Unh.

Huh?

Are you ok, emily?

I guess I don'’t feel much like
playing volleyball today.

I just keep thinking about
ms. Carrington.

I know.

We'’re all gonna
really miss her.

But she did say our new teacher
was very interesting.

People only say things
are interesting

When they can'’t think
of anything nice to say,

Like, "gee, those new shoes
you'’re wearing

Sure are interesting."

Or, "what an interesting
dog you have."

Woo.

Besides, with a name
like mrs. Grumbly,

She'’s probably a real crab.

[Whimpers]

Or maybe she'’ll
be really strict,

With lots of rules
and regulations,

Like someone in the--

Attention!

Good morning, class.

Good morning, mrs. Grumbly.

I'’m your new teacher.

And I'’m sure
we'’re going to have
lots of fun together

Once you understand
the grumbly rules.

[Toot toot toot]

That means
take out your books.

[One long toot]

That means turn in
your homework,

And this--

[Toot toot]

Means everyone line up
at the sharpener

To sharpen your pencil.
Got it?

Yes, ma'’am!

[Grunts in time]

Ehh, it'’s gonna be awful

Listening to that
whistle all day.

I don'’t mind the whistle
as long as she'’s nice.

I just hope
she likes us.

Why wouldn'’t she
like us, charley?

Well, maybe she'’s
allergic to kids.

Ok, class,

Now we will do some--

Ah--ah--

Addition.

Ah-choo!

Emily elizabeth: ew.

I'’ve never heard of a teacher
being allergic to kids.

No, but mrs. Grumbly
might be allergic to dogs.

[Whimpers]

Don'’t worry, clifford.

I'’m sure mrs. Grumbly'’s
going to really like

All of us.

Oh, at least
I hope she will.

It'’s going to be weird
not have ms. Carrington

As our teacher anymore,
clifford.

I mean, I'’ve known her
for such a long time.

Woof.

Wouldn'’t it be great
if our new teacher

Could be someone
we already know, too?

[Cheering]

Woof woof!

Woof woof.

I guess we won'’t really
know what she'’s like

Until we meet her tomorrow.

In the meantime,

Why don'’t we read
one of our favorite stories?

Woof.

"There once was
a little seal..."

I don'’t think
she'’s here yet.

It looks like ms. Carrington'’s
in there alone.

Do you think we'’re going
to like ms. Grumbly at all?

I doubt it.

Woof woof.

What is it, clifford?

Ahh, look.
It'’s her.

Ah-ah-ah-choo!

She'’s sneezing. She really
is allergic to kids.

Good morning,
children.

I'’m mrs. Grumbly.

I hope I didn'’t scare you
with that awful sneeze.

I guess my nose is still
getting used to

Birdwell island'’s
fresh air.

The last school I taught at
was far, far away from here.

Far, far away?

That'’s where I got
my lucky whistle.

[All gasp]

I use this whistle when
I coach soccer for the kids

During recess.

You know how to play soccer?

Oh, it'’s one of
my favorite games.

Mine, too.

I'’ll bet you'’re charley.

Ms. Carrington told me

What a terrific
soccer player you are.

She did?

He'’s the best player
on our team,

After me, that is.

And I'’ll bet you'’re jetta.

Uh-huh.

Ms. Carrington told me

That if I have any question
about anything,

You'’re the one to ask.

You wouldn'’t
be emily elizabeth,
would you?

Yes, that'’s me.

Oh, I'’ve heard that
you'’re a wonderful help
in the classroom.

So maybe you can
help me pass out

This "getting
to know you" snack

A little later
this morning?

Sure. What is it?

Brownies.
Is that ok?

Oh, that'’s perfect.

Woof woof.

Now, I'’m guessing
this big, red fellow

Is clifford.

Woof.

I'’ll bet you'’d like
a nice snack, too.

Woof woof woof.

What do you say
we all go inside

And I can get to know
all of you a little better?

Ok.

[All talk at once]

You know,
emily elizabeth,

I was a little nervous about
meeting your dog clifford.

You were?

Uh-huh. When I heard
how big he was,

I thought he might
be a little scary,

But now that I'’ve met him,

I see that he'’s a very sweet
and special dog.

I know what you mean,
ms. Grumbly.

Clifford and I
were a little nervous
about meeting you, too.

Oh, you were?

But now we know
it'’s a good idea

To wait until you meet
someone in person

Before you decide
how you feel about them.

I can do it,
I can do it,
I can do it.

I can do it...

T-bone?

T-bone, where are you going?

Huh?

Oh, hi, clifford.

Today, I'’m going to go
down the big slide.

But you'’ve never done that
before, t-bone.

I know. I'’ve always been
a little afraid to try it.

But today I'’m ready.

Great. Let'’s go.

Emily elizabeth: trying
something new can be
a little scary.

But sometimes you just
know deep inside

That you'’re ready to try.

Wow, is he really
gonna do it?

He said he'’s ready.

You can do it,
you can do it.

I can do it. Whoa!

Hee hee hee. Yeow!

Hoo-hoo, I did it.

I knew I could,
and I did.

Now I'’m gonna
do it again.

Emily elizabeth: trying
new things can be lots of fun,

Especially when you
believe you can do it.

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

Heh heh.

Believe in yourself.
