[Dogs panting and barking]
Wow, clifford!
There are plenty of dogs
for you to play with today!
[Ruff ruff]
Hey, there's nina.
Hi, nina!
Hi, emily elizabeth!
[Clifford barks]
Hi, daffodil.
And hello,
clifford.
Are you looking
for jorge?
He's right
over there.
[Ruff]
Go have fun,
clifford.
Hiya, jorge!
Hey, clifford!
You want to play
ball with me?
Oh, sure!
Ok, buddy,
get ready.
Here it comes!
[Ruff]
Got it!
Wow! Nice play!
[Growling]
Now catch this one.
Whoa!
[Grunting]
Don't knock yourself out,
clifford.
I'll get it.
There you go.
Thanks, daffodil.
[Sigh]
If I were bigger,
I could get the ball
all by myself.
Sometimes it's no fun
being small.
[Dogs panting]
Hey, clifford,
come on.
We're running
the obstacle course.
Hee hee! Yippee!
Ha ha ha ha!
[Panting]
[Laughing]
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
[Panting]
[Grunting]
Whee!
[Barking]
[Grunting]
Oof!
Uhh!
Oof!
Don't you worry,
little red.
I'll help you
over that fence.
[Clifford grunting]
Fasten
your seatbelts.
Oh! Uhh!
That's the old
red pepper.
[Sigh]
Thanks, norville.
Always happy
to lend a wing!
[Sigh]
If I were bigger,
I'd jump over the fence
All by myself.
[Sigh]
It's really no fun
being small.
[Barking]
Oh, bravo, tricksie!
Ha ha! Good girl!
Ha ha!
Oh, my, now look
at all these
dog biscuits.
Maybe you'd like
to share them
with your friends?
[Woof woof]
Yoo-hoo! Ha ha!
Who wants
a dog biscuit?
[Barking]
Huh? You hear that,
clifford?
Dog biscuits!
Yum! That's for me!
Me, too!
Here you go.
[Dogs barking]
[Clifford grunting]
Uhh!
[Sigh]
Whoa!
Whoa! Uhh!
[Sigh]
Uh, oops.
Excuse me.
Uh, pardon me.
Oh, my goodness.
Those biscuits
went like hot cakes!
[Whimpering]
[Barking]
Come on, tricksie.
Andiamo. Let's go.
Here you go,
clifford.
I grabbed a biscuit
for you.
[Sigh]
Oh, thanks, jorge.
Huh?
[Whimper]
If I were bigger,
I could get my own dog biscuits.
I really don't like
being small at all.
Hey, daffodil.
Do you know what's up
with clifford?
I think something's
bothering him.
Really?
Hold the phone!
Did you say something
was wrong with clifford?
Where is he?
Which way did he go?
I'm going. I'm looking.
[Crunching]
I think I know.
Hey, amigo,
what's wrong?
Are you ok?
Oh, I just...
Well, I just don't
like being so small.
Small?
Well, we don't think
of you as small.
Absodoodle.
We just think you're
a little closer
To the ground
than the rest of us.
Thanks, guys,
but I am small.
I can't reach anything,
I always need help,
And nobody ever notices me.
It's just no fun.
I know just how
you feel, clifford.
You do?
But you're not small
like me, jorge.
Well, no,
but I'm extra-long,
And sometimes that's
not much fun, either.
Like for instance...
When you're extra-long,
It's not easy jumping
across a mud puddle.
And it's a lot harder
playing hide-and-seek.
Over here!
Over here!
I remember one day,
I was wearing
my brand-new sweater...
When suddenly,
it started to rain.
I ran for shelter...
But it wasn't
quite big enough.
[Thunder]
So you see, clifford,
Being a hot dog
is not always so hot.
And what
about me?
You think it is easy
being a bird?
It's not?
Well, not always.
No, siree bob.
You see,
I have these feathers,
And, boy,
can they drive you nuts.
Oh, I have to brush them
constantly to keep them
in tip-top shape.
And then one good breeze
can ruin a whole day's work.
Oh, yeah, and you
don't want to get
Your feathers
too wet, either.
Believe me.
Whoa! Oh!
Whoa!
[Snoring]
And you try to get
a good night's sleep
When one crooked feather
keeps tickling your beak.
[Giggling]
[Snoring]
Ah-choo!
Ooh!
So take it from me,
my luckily fine
non-feathered friend,
Being a bird, oh, no--
not a bed of roses.
Well, believe it
or not, clifford,
Being "me" has
its drawbacks, too.
It's not easy
being this beautiful.
Oh, come on,
daffodil.
Oh, puh-leeze.
Daffodil: what?
You guys are right.
Daffodil isn't small,
And she isn't extra-long,
And she doesn't
have feathers.
Oh, she has no problems
at all.
No problems?
No problems?
Look at these big,
floppy ears.
I'm always tripping
over 'em.
[Coughing and spitting]
Or someone's using them
for a slide.
But worst of all is
when I try to eat a bowl
Of carrot soup.
[Sigh]
[Grumbles]
There. Heh heh heh.
Daffodil: see, clifford,
we all have things
about ourselves
We'd like to change
once in a while.
Huh? But all those things
you complain about
Are what make you
so special,
Like jorge.
Your extra-long body
is what makes you
so good at soccer,
Especially when
you're being the goalie.
And, norville, if you
didn't have those feathers,
You wouldn't be
such a flying ace!
[Hoots]
And, daffodil,
your floppy ears
Are perfect for snuggling.
[Whimpering]
That's what makes
you guys so great.
Well, clifford,
there are lots
Of great things
about being small, too.
For instance...
You can run
right through a log.
[Barking]
Norville: yeah, and you can play
hide-and-seek under a leaf.
Daffodil: and you can look
a grasshopper right in the eye.
You know,
you're right.
There are a lot
of great things
about being small.
[Gasp]
Look! There's one
dog biscuit left!
[Grunting]
I can't reach it.
I can't reach it!
Well, maybe I can.
Here you go, jorge!
Oh, gee!
Thanks, clifford!
Hey, we could share it.
I guess it's not so bad
being small after all.
And who knows?
Maybe someday I'll be bigger
than everybody else.
Ho ho! Yeah, sure.
Ha ha ha!
Oh, no, clifford.
I don't think
you'll ever be that big.
Uh, no.
[Ruff]
[Ruff]
Emily elizabeth: clifford!
Where are you, boy?
[Ruff ruff]
Want to read a story,
clifford?
[Ruff]
Ok. Pick one out.
[Giggles]
thanks, clifford.
This looks like
a great story.
[Toy squeaks]
Today's story is "speckle
and the fairy tale."
"Speckle and his friends
were reading a great story.
"It was a fairy tale
about a beautiful kingdom
"And all the princesses
and brave knights
who lived there.
"It looked like so much fun
"That speckle and his friends
decided to dress up
"Like they were the characters
in the book.
"But what could they wear?
"King speckle made a crown
out of an old newspaper.
"Queen reba found a beach towel
that made the perfect cape
"And decorated her hair
with a beautiful chain
of wildflowers.
"With his sand pail
and flying disc,
"Sir darnell was ready
to fight a mighty dragon.
"Then princess luna
and prince ravi
"Pretended that ordinary brooms
were majestic horses
"And raced each other
around the palace.
"It was so much fun,
"They played for the rest
of the afternoon.
The end."
I love reading stories
together.
You know, clifford,
for such a small dog,
You sure are
a big reader.
[Ruff]
[Horns honking]
[Honking]
[Vacuum cleaner running]
[Sigh]
[Growling]
[Toy squeaking]
Ok. Ok. That's enough.
I'm trying to take a nap.
Whoa!
[Clifford chuckling]
Oops. Hiya, daffodil.
Hello, clifford.
Where's the taco, clifford?
Where is it? Huh?
Haven't I told
you two before?
This is
a "no puppy playing zone."
And a "no taco toy zone."
Oh! Pfft!
[Growling]
Mmm, I wish this
was a real taco.
I'm hungry.
We just had
a snack, jorge.
There's always room
for tacos!
[Squeaking]
I'll get it!
Oh. Whoa.
Look at this!
Emily elizabeth started
reading this book to us
last night, jorge.
It's great!
Wow!
What is that kid
riding on?
It's a flying carpet!
See, the story's about
this boy who finds
a magic lamp.
He rubs it and out
comes this genie
who promises that...
[Deep voice]
your wish is my command.
Yikes!
Together: norville!
Oh, greetings,
my friends, my pals.
I was just zooming
around the neighborhood,
And I thought
I would drop in.
Hey, hey,
does the genie
really say,
"Your wish is my
command," norville?
Have you read
the book?
No, but I saw the play
last summer in the park,
And the genie
tells the boy...
[Deep voice]
"you have 3 wishes,
master."
And the boy says,
"really?
Oh, well, thanks,
genie!"
Then the genie says,
"after I grant you
these 3 wishes,
I will be free
from the lamp."
And the boy says,
"well, that sounds fair.
"Ok, ok, so my first
wish is, um,
Well, you know,
my first wish is, um..."
[Whispering]
hey, red, what was
his first wish?
Uh, I don't know.
Emily elizabeth's
going to read that
chapter tonight.
Wouldn't it be cool
if we found a lamp
like this?
Uh, I could find one.
Like this one?
Well, sure.
Well, uh, absolutely.
Well, uh, almost...
Like it.
With a genie inside?
Maybe.
Or maybe not.
Well, daffodilly, there is
only one way to find out,
And I will be right back
because I'm zooming away.
I will be back!
Oh, wow.
I wish I could fly
like that.
[Grunting]
[Sigh]
Norville is so lucky.
He doesn't even need
a magic carpet to fly.
Do you think norville
will find a lamp
with a genie in it?
Not likely...
But it would be great
if he did.
Oh, it sure would be!
The genie would grant
That's one wish for you,
daffodil, one wish for jorge,
And one wish for me.
I know what
I'd wish for.
What?
[Squeak]
Tacos.
Lots of tacos.
And tostadas.
And burritos.
Mmm.
Jorge: wow!
Whoo-hoo!
Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!
I love tostadas!
[Sniffing]
And burritos.
[Gulping]
Ahh!
Mmm!
[Gasp]
Tacos!
I hereby claim this mountain
of tacos in the name of jorge!
Wha-hoo!
[Gobbling]
That's a great wish,
jorge.
Uh-huh. I would have
a whole mountain of tacos--
All to myself!
You'd also have
a great, big tummy-ache
all to yourself.
[Whimpering]
I know,
but it'd be worth it.
[Laughing]
What about you,
daffodil?
Do you know what you
would wish for?
Oh, yes, clifford.
I know exactly what
I would wish for.
I'd wish for a field filled
with delicious clover...
Lots of sunshine...
Fresh water...
And absolutely no noise.
[Bird chirping]
Ahh!
And now for that nap.
That's what
I'd wish for--
A nice, quiet field
to call my own.
That's pretty neat,
daffodil.
Si.
Well, what about you,
clifford?
What do you wish for?
A bone? A toy?
A really cool collar?
Hmm, no.
I wish...i wish...
What?
What do you wish?
I wish I could fly,
just like norville!
Whee!
Uhh!
Oops.
Sorry, daffodil.
[Chuckling]
So you want
to fly, huh?
Well, maybe not alone.
I wish that
emily elizabeth and I
could both fly!
We'd fly all over
the city!
[Barking]
[Barking]
[Barking]
[Ruff ruff]
Whoa!
Whoa!
Ha ha ha!
Ha ha!
[Meowing]
Oh, that's
a fantastic wish,
clifford.
What kind of wish
do you think norville
will ask the genie for?
And flo! And zo!
And nina! And--
What's wrong?
Oh, clifford,
The genie only grants
And after that, he's free
and all the wishing is over.
You mean no one else
gets a wish?
Not even norville?
But he's the one
who went to get the lamp!
That's not fair.
Oh, greetings, everybody.
I found it.
I found the lamp.
Wow!
Cool!
That's a magic lamp?
Indeed it is.
Well, you know,
I had to improvise a bit.
Now, who wants to make
the first wish? Cliff?
Well, uh...
I was going to wish
that emily elizabeth
and I could fly,
But, well, you know,
She and I get around
just fine using our legs,
So I don't really
need a wish, norville.
Nope. You can have mine.
I can? Gee, thanks, puppy.
Well, ok.
How about you, jorge?
I want to hear your wish.
[Slurp]
Well, I kind of wish
I had a big mountain
of tacos.
Mmm!
But it would probably
just give me
a big tummy-ache.
Oh, besides,
Nina makes sure
I get plenty of
good things to eat.
So you take my wish,
too, norville.
Really?
Well, that--that's
very generous of you, jorge.
Ok. So what about
you there, daffodil?
What would you wish for?
Me?
Uh-huh.
Daffodil: a little
peace and quiet
would be really nice.
Then again, I think
I'd really miss
All the noise
around here.
So take my wish,
too, norville.
Hold it. Stop the music.
You really want me
to have it, daff?
Yeah, I really do.
Yeah, you take all 3
of the wishes, norville.
You deserve them.
Wow! This is unexpected.
I thank you so much.
Thank you one and all.
You're welcome.
So, what will
you wish for,
norville?
Any ideas?
Well, let's see.
I wish for, um...
I wish for...
You know something?
I don't wish for anything.
Huh?
Huh?
Really?
Yeah. I already have
everything I need.
Great friends,
And a beautiful sky
to enjoy with them.
Gee, you're right,
norville.
We've already got
a magical place to live.
But I still like making
wishes just for fun.
Emily elizabeth:
hey, everyone.
Who wants to hear
a story?
[Barking]
Ooh. Ooh.
[Ruff ruff]
"Once upon a time,
there was a young boy
Who found a very special
magic lamp..."
[Ruff]
Jorge: clifford!
I just found a great
new place to bury bones.
Where?
It's a special
secret place.
So if I tell you,
Do you promise
not to tell anyone?
I promise.
Ok. It's...
[Whispering]
Wow! That is
a great place, jorge.
Hey, little rouge,
jorge, what's new?
Jorge just found
a brand-new spot
to bury bones.
It's a--oh.
Emily elizabeth: clifford knows
that keeping a promise
Is a very important part
of being a good friend.
So whenever he makes
a promise, he keeps it.
Oh, I'm sorry,
norville.
I can't tell you without
jorge's permission.
I made him a promise.
Jorge, is it ok
if we tell norville?
Oh, sure.
Norville won't tell anybody.
My beak is sealed.
Emily elizabeth:
when you keep a promise,
You're being a good friend,
And that's why clifford's idea
to grow on for today
Is "be a good friend."
Ok, norville,
you are going to be
so surprised!
[Whispering]
