Emily elizabeth:
sandcastle hassle.
[Traffic noise]
I say we make a castle
with one really,
really huge tower.
And maybe it can have
a big wall that goes
all around it.
Hey, clifford, jorge,
Are you guys excited
about the big sandcastle
contest, too?
[Both whine]
It's going to be
lots of fun.
[Both yipping]
Save some energy
for the beach, clifford.
This is our stop.
Ooh, that looks like
the perfect spot.
Come on,
emily elizabeth.
Oh, can you
believe it, jorge?
We're going to build
a sandcastle!
I know, and nina says
it's lots of fun.
Come on!
Look out below!
[Both laughing]
Nina was right.
This is lots of fun!
Oh, hi there!
My name is clifford,
and this is my friend jorge.
What's your name?
The name's jack.
Hi, jack.
You want to
play with us?
Sorry, I'm busy.
Maybe you haven't heard,
but there's a contest
going on?
Oh. Oh, we know that.
Well, my owners,
mitch and alex,
are going to win it.
Wow. They sure must be
good sandcastle builders.
They are, and they're
definitely better
At making sandcastles
than your owners.
Whoa, whoa.
Wait a second, jack.
How do you know your owners
are better than our owners?
Trust me. I know.
Oh. Really?
Well...
[Bell ringing]
Okay, kids.
It's time to start the big
sandcastle build-off.
Now, remember, each team
has to stay in their area.
Okay. Everybody ready,
set, start building.
[Kids cheering]
Like I was saying,
Emily elizabeth
and nina are going
to win because...
Hey, uh, where'd he go?
Hmm.
Come on, clifford.
We've got to help
emily elizabeth
and nina win.
Right.
Clifford!
There you are.
Jorge, what are you
and clifford doing?
All right.
We've got to fill
these buckets.
You dig,
and I'll catch.
Okay. Ready?
Ready!
[Grunting]
[Panting]
Hey! Jorge!
How's it going
back there?
Oh!
Huh?
[Laughing]
Come on, clifford.
There's no time for
laughing and having fun.
Huh?
Oh, you're right.
We've got to be
serious
If we're going to
help emily elizabeth
and nina win.
Ready.
[Grunting]
Okay. Let's get
this sand back.
[Grunting]
Thanks, clifford.
Wow!
Jorge and clifford,
I'm really impressed
By how much you two
want to help.
You must be having
as much fun as we are.
Come on, nina.
Let's fill our buckets
with water.
Ahh...emily elizabeth
and nina just have
To win this contest.
[Grunting]
Hey, what's jack
doing now?
Oh, I don't know.
Let's find out.
Haven't your owners
given up yet?
No way.
Our owners know lots more
about making a sandcastle
Than your owners.
Right!
So, uh, what's this hole
you're digging?
It's a little something
that's going to make
My owners' castle
extra-special--
A moat.
Of course.
What's a moat?
It's a big hole
that goes all
around a castle
And gets filled
with water.
It's supposed
to keep dogs
like you away.
[Grunting]
Hmm.
Emily elizabeth
and nina need
to have a moat, too.
You bet! We can't let
jack's castle be better
than ours.
Okay. There's two of us
and only one of jack.
That means we can dig
twice as fast as he can.
Right! You dig that way,
and I'll dig this way.
We'll meet on
the other side.
[Both grunting]
Clifford, where are you?
I'm over here.
Heh! I think we
missed each other.
Heh. Uh-oh.
Well, I guess I'll
dig towards you--
And I'll dig
towards you.
[Both grunting]
We did it!
We did it!
Now emily elizabeth
and nina have their
very own moat.
Good work, jack!
That's a great moat!
Do you want
to help some more?
[Barks]
Okay! Why don't you
go find seashells
That we can put
on our castle
for decorations?
[Barks]
Wow. Look, nina.
I think our puppies dug
a moat around the castle!
Heh heh! And it sure is
an interesting shape
for a moat.
Thanks, jorge and--
What has gotten
into our dogs?
I'm not sure.
Clifford! Look
how many I found!
Oh! Good work, jorge!
But I think
we need more
If emily elizabeth and
nina are going to win.
Psst! Clifford!
Come here!
What is it, jorge?
Look over there!
Wow!
That must be the greatest
seashell ever!
But...it's not on
our side of the beach.
It's on jack's side.
Huh?
I know we're not
allowed over there,
But emily elizabeth
and nina have to
have that seashell.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Let go!
It's mine!
Oh...but...
We saw it first!
And emily elizabeth
and nina are going
to use this shell to win!
Uh! No way!
My owners are
going to win!
Excuse me. Are
those your dogs?
Emily elizabeth: clifford!nina: jorge!
Clifford, jorge,
what are you doing?
It's not like
you two to fight
with another dog.
You know better
than that.
You'd think
the only thing they
care about is winning.
[Both giggling]
You know, we had
a lot more fun before
we decided we had to win.
You're right, clifford.
Only caring
about winning isn't
very fun at all.
So, what do you say
we go back to just
having fun?
I'm right
behind you, amigo.
[Both laughing]
[Bell ringing]
Okay, everyone.
Stop building
your sandcastles.
The contest is over.
The judges have picked
the winner.
[Kids cheering]
And the winner is...
Marilyn and abby lewis!
Yay!
Yay! We won!
[Gasps]
Congratulations,
everyone!
Hey, jack,
you want to come play
with me and jorge?
How come you're
so happy?
Your owners didn't win
the contest, either.
Oh, we know, but we figured
it didn't matter if we won.
Right. We decided that
the most important thing
is that we just have fun.
That way, we'd have
a good time no matter
what happened.
Come on. You'll see.
Okay, jack, get ready
to catch some sand!
[Clifford and jorge laughing]
I got it!
I got it!
I got it!
Aah!
[All laughing]
Emily elizabeth:
clifford! Jorge!
Time to leave!
Ha ha ha! Aw, we've
got to go, jack.
Yeah, but maybe
we'll see you again
at next year's contest.
Yeah, okay.
It'll be...fun!
[All laughing]
[Both barking]
So, emily elizabeth,
Do you think
clifford and jorge
had fun today?
[Both snoring]
Yes, I think
they had fun.
[Both giggling]
Ruff!
Emily elizabeth:
clifford!
Where are you, boy?
Ruff ruff!
Want to read a story, clifford?ruff!
Okay. Pick one out.
Heh heh!
Thanks, clifford!
This looks
like a great story.
[Toy squeaks]
Today's story is
"speckle and the vacation
for everyone."
"When speckle returned
from his vacation,
"He invited all of his friends
to his house
"To see a movie he'd made
just for them.
"They watched speckle play
on a sandy beach,
"Where he found
a fabulous seashell
"That he brought
back for reba.
"And when he learned how
to dance on a tropical island,
"He saved the flower necklace
for luna.
"They saw speckle explore
a deep, green forest
"And pick up a pine cone
just for ravi...
"Then climb to the very top
of a mountain,
"Where he spotted
a sparkling stone,
"Perfect for darnell's
collection.
"Seeing the wonderful sights
and having their very own
souvenirs,
"Reba, ravi, luna,
and darnell felt
"Like they had been
on speckle's vacation, too,
"And they all had
a wonderful time.
The end."
I love reading
stories together.
You know, clifford,
For such
a small dog,
You sure are
a big reader!
Ruff!
Emily elizabeth:
school daze.
[Giggles]
silly socks. There.
[Doorbell rings]
Mom: emily elizabeth,
nina's here!
Hurry! You don't want
to be late for
the first day of school!
Be right there, mom!
Okay. Now all I need
is my notebook...
And my shoes...
And I'm ready.
[Barking]
Emily elizabeth,
my planner says we need
to leave by 8:00,
And it's already 8:03,
and--oh, my gosh!
What's on your feet?
[Giggles]
oops!
Bye, jorge.
You be good.
Bye, daffodil.
Bye, clifford.
I'll see you
this afternoon.
[Whines]
Don't worry, clifford.
We'll play after school.
After all, that's
my favorite part of the day.
[Barks]
Oh, I'm sure going
to miss emily elizabeth.
Summer's over, and now
she'll be in school all day.
But emily elizabeth
loves going to school.
You wouldn't want her
to miss out on that,
would you?
Oh, no! School sounds
really fun.
I wish I could go
to school, too.
Norville: well,
why can't you,
little red?
All you need for school
are students
and a teacher,
And I don't think you're
going to have to look
very far for that teacher.
You're going to be
the teacher?
What are you going
to teach?
Uh, well, I think
I might start
With a little thing
called bird calls.
For instance...
Ah...ah...ah-choo!
See, uh, well, now,
that is called the, uh,
Yellow-bellied
hawaiian sneezer.
Ho ho! That sounds
great, norville!
Hey! Flo! Zo!
We're going to make
a school!
You want to join?sure!
Now, what should
we teach, zo--
Pouncing or bouncing?
Well, pouncing
sounds harder...
But, really,
bouncing is tougher.
We better start
with pouncing.
Ooh, ooh!
And I can teach digging!
I'm an expert on dirt.
And then I suppose
it's left up to me
to teach good manners.
Of course,
who else is there?
But if you're all going
to be the teachers,
Who's going to be
the students?
Well, I'm certainly not
going to learn digging.
Do you know how hard it is
to keep a white coat clean?
And I'm not big
on bird calls.
I mean, the only bird
I ever call is norville,
And he's here
all the time anyway.
We don't need
any lessons
in good manners.
Yeah! When would we
use them?
[Both laughing]
You know, pup,
I'm thinking you might be
the only student,
Which is a very good thing
because...you'll get all
the attention.
Uh...okay.
Sure! Great!
So, who's going
to teach me first?
Okay. Now, it is time
To begin our first
lesson in bird calls.
Oh, boy! Are you going
to teach me
That yellow-belly
sneezer one?
The what?
Oh, no, no, no.
We're going to start
with something very simple.
You know, like the owl.
Oh, boy! Oh, boy,
oh, boy oh, boy!
An owl!
Yeah. Now, in order
to sound like an owl,
You have to think
like an owl.
As a matter of fact,
you got to look like
an owl, so...
Put your shoulders back,
Scrunch up your neck,
Open your eyes really big...
And go, "hoo!"
Hoo!who what?
Hoo...
Just, uh, hoo.
Uh, like an owl.
Oh, oh, that's your owl!
Oh, good.
That's very, very good,
little red,
Only you need
to be louder
If you want a real owl
to hear you.
But don't worry
because I am a great
hoo teacher.
See, there is no bird
in this world
With more hooey
in him than me.
Flo: hey, clifford!
Come on!
Zo: it's time for
your pouncing lesson.
I'll be back soon,
norville.
Thanks!
Okay, clifford.
Now, what you want to do
Is pounce on the ball
without making it jingle.
[Bell jingling]
You show him, flo.
Okay.
You put your head down,
Your bottom up,
Then you step 1, 2, 3,
and pounce!
See? No jingle!
Now you try it,
clifford.
You put your head down,
Your bottom up,
And step 1, 2, 3,
and pounce!
[Bell jingling]oh! Oh! Oh!
Not bad for
your first try.
You just need
some practice.
Daffodil:
oh, clifford!
I'm ready for your
good manners lesson,
And it's not polite
to keep someone
waiting.
Oh! Uh, oh, guys,
i--i got to go.
Coming, daffodil!
Hey, hey,
it's fred.
Uh-huh, but today
we're not going
to play with him.
We're going to use him
to learn good manners.
Okay. Now let's pretend
this is the first time
you're meeting fred.
What do you say?
Hey, hey there!
No. You say...
[Dignified tone]
how do you do?
Ahem.
How-how do you do?
No, no, no, no.
You have to say it
with a slight bow
of your head.
Uh...h-h-how
do you do?
No! You can't
knock him over.
But in case you do,
you say...
"Uh-oh"?no!
You say, "I beg
your pardon."
Really, clifford,
hasn't living with me
taught you anything?
Uh, that rabbits eat
a lot of carrots?
[Sighs]
Jorge: hey, clifford!
Over here, buddy!
It's time to dig
some dirt!
Oh, uh, sorry,
daffodil.
It's not good manners
to keep jorge waiting.
Well, at least
he learned something.
Okay, jorge.
I'm all yours.
Great. Now, the most
important thing to remember
about digging a hole
Is you have to fill it
back up so nobody falls
in it.
You got it?got it!
Then let's get you
digging!
Ready, set,
Go!
[Grunting]
That's it, clifford.
Really use
those front paws.
Nice and steady.
Okay, stop.
Good job, pal!
Now what do we do,
clifford?
We fill it back up!
Right!
You do that
While I go find us
something to bury.
Norville:
excuse me, pup.
We got to get back
to hooing over here.
You know, use it
or lose it, buddy.
Oh, but, uh,
Well, uh...
Okay, norville!
Okay. Shoulders back,
Neck scrunched,
eyes big, and--
Zo: come on,
clifford!
You need
to practice
your pouncing!
He is busy hooing!
Flo: he's been hooing
his head off!
Let's go, clifford!
I'll be right
back, norville!
Whoooa!
Oh!
H-how do you do?
Uh-uh-uh-uh!
You say...
Oh! I mean, I mean--
Flo: you have to try it
again, clifford.
I--i beg your pardon?
No, not that polite
stuff. Pouncing!
Huh?
[Chuckles]
excuse me,
But clifford
is having a good
manners lesson now.
Huh?
Clifford!
What did I tell you
about holes?
If you dig one,
you got to fill it
back up.
Oh. Oh, uh...uh...
How do you do?
Huh?
Norville: clifford?
I can't hear you hooing!
Uh, hoo! Hoo!
Flo: we'll never get
to bouncing if you don't
work on pouncing.
[Bell jingling]oh!
Daffodil: clifford!
You left fred lying
here on his back!
Oh, i--i beg
your pardon?
I beg your--ohhh!
Jorge: see? This is
the kind of thing
I'm talking about.
[Norville, flo, daffodil,
and jorge talking all at once]
Oh, I've got
to hoo hoo.
I've got to pounce.
H-how do you do?
I've got to fill up.
I've got to...
Take a break.
Uh, yeah, well,
I guess
school is out
for today.
Clifford!
Hey, sleepyhead.
I'm home.
Want to play ball?
Or sock spider?
[Whines, yawns]
I think clifford just
wants to take a nap.
Well, come on,
little guy.
You can sleep on
my lap while I do
my homework.
[Whines]
Gee, clifford's
too tired to play
with emily elizabeth.
And that's his
favorite part
of the day.
It's all our fault.
We made him work
too hard at school.
We didn't take
turns teaching.
Sure. Now he probably
doesn't even like school.
It's true.
We made clifford's
first day of school
a real mess...
But I'll bet we can
make his second day
a lot better.
Here's what
I'm thinking.
[Whispering]
Good morning, clifford.
Ready for another day
at school?
Oh, right. School.
[Sighs]
Come right up here,
my little red friend.
Huh?
Hey, what's
going on?
Isn't it time
for school?
Yes. I mean, no.
But what I mean--
I mean, yes,
Because it's time
for school,
But it's
a brand-new kind
of school.
One where everybody
is a student.
And everyone gets a turn
to be a teacher, too.
See, we were kind
of hoping you might
start off
By teaching us some
of your bean-bag
ball tricks.
Ho ho! I sure would!
Let's go!
Okay. Now, this is
what you got to do.
Over here,
then over here.
Ha ha! That's good!
That's good!
Ruff!
[Both barking]
[Flo and zo laughing]
Tag! Got you!
Okay! Whew!
That was
a great game.
Whoa! What are we
going to do?
Emily elizabeth, voice-over:
sometimes a job can look so big,
It seems almost
impossible to do.
But clifford and I know
that no job is too big
When everyone works together.
I have a big idea!
I'll bet if we all
pitch in and work
together,
We can clean this up
in no time!
Emily elizabeth, voice-over:
when everyone works together,
Big jobs can turn out
to be really small.
That's why clifford's idea
to grow on for today
Is "work together."
And guess what--
Now we have time
for another game
of tag!
