[THEME MUSIC]

THEME SONG: It's a beautiful
day in this neighborhood,

a beautiful day for a neighbor.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

It's a neighborly
day in this beauty

wood, a neighborly
day for a beauty.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

I have always wanted to have
a neighbor just like you.

I've always wanted to live
in a neighborhood with you,

so let's make the most
of this beautiful day.

Since we're together we might
as well say: Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

Won't you be my neighbor?

Won't you, please?

Won't you, please?

Please, won't you
be my neighborhood?

-I'm glad we're television
neighbors again today.

I'm going to show you something
that Bob Trow handed to me

and said, "I'll loan
these to you for awhile.

Do what you like
with them, and then

I'll bring the rest later."

I don't think it's a frame.

No.

No.

Wonder if it could
be skis or something?

Or ice skates.

Doesn't look like--
I thought they might

be old-fashioned
fashioned things.

I think I could use theme as,
uh, part of the block building.

Let's try.

Get my box of block.

I think I'll get a
couple cars, too.

There's some cars.

There.

I'll just make a little roadway.

Yeah.

That should work.

Hm.

Let's see.

Car can go down the hill.

Ah, good.

Huh.

Why don't we have one be "it."

And the other one go
around here and hide.

Have this would find it.

Where are you?

Where are you, car?

There.

That one's-- Now,
this one can be "it."

And this one will hide.

It can hide under the bridge.

There.

This one will look for it.

This one will come right
back to home, home base.

Ha, ha.

Do you think of different
things to do with your toys?

You can make up your own
kinds of games with the things

that you have at home.

You know, learning
how to play is

one sure way of knowing
that you're growing.

Knowing that you're growing.

Let's sing that growing
song, all right?

[SINGING] You used to
creep and crawl real well.

But then, you learned
to walk real well.

There was a time
you'd coo and cry.

But then, you learn to talk,
and my, you almost always try.

You almost always do your best.

I like the way
you're growing up.

It's fun.

That's all.

You're growing.

You're growing.

You're growing in and out.

You're growing.

You're growing.

You're growing all about.

Your hands are
getting bigger now.

Your arms and legs
are stronger now.

You even sense your inside grow.

When Mom and Dad
refuse you, so you're

learning how to wait now.

It's great to hope
and wait somehow.

I like the way
you're growing up.

It's fun.

That's all.

Some day you'll be
a grown-up, too.

And have some
children grow up, too.

Then, you can love
them in and out.

And tell them stories
all about the times

when you were their size.

The times when you found a
great surprise in growing up.

And they will sing.

It's fun.

That's all.

You're growing.

You're growing.

You're growing in and out.

You're growing.

You're growing.

You're growing all about.

-Someday you will be a grown-up.

And maybe, you'll
have some children

who are just starting
to learn to play.

And as you live
with them, they'll

help you remember
how you felt when you

were learning those
things yourself.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Oh, maybe that's Bob Trow now.

Let's see.

It is.

Come in, Bob.

-Hi, neighbor.

-Hi, neighbor.

-Mind if I come
in and sit a bit?

-Not at all.

Can I help you?

-Please.

-I have some chairs here,
myself, you're welcome to.

-Well, I want to think that
I always bring my own chair.

But uh--

-It's a handsome chair, Bob.

-Thank you.

And it's just a common ordinary
chair that you sit down in.

-Are you making it?

-Mm hm.

-Yes?

So?

-Do you like it?

Now, about that wood
I gave you earlier--

-Yes.

Here.

This here.

Uh

-Huh.

-I was using it to, uh--

-Well, you had sort
of a hill there.

---make a road with.

That's right.

Uh huh.

-That's nice.

Do you, uh, have any idea what
I'm going to do with those?

-Go with a chair?

-Mm hm.

-Ah ha.

-Mm hm.

-All right.

-Bet at first you
thought it was going

to be a pair of skis
or some ice skates.

-I did.

-Uh.

-Yeah.

-Well.

-So it's part-- it makes
this chair into a rocker?

-Right.

Now, if you'll help me, we'll
just put that right on there.

-Is this is some kind
of a kit or something?

-It is a kit.

Yep.

I just though that you and your
friends would be interested in

see how you can make an ordinary
chair into a rocking chair.

-Try it.

-OK.

I will.

It's now a rocker.

Why don't you try it, Fred?

-I like that.

-Nice, eh?

What a difference.

-It is, isn't it?

I like to rock.

-Would you like to borrow
it for the rest of the day?

-Sure.

I'll bring it back
to you tonight.

-Good.

I have some bolts that
I can put in later.

I'll finished it up later.

-Thank you very much, Bob.

-Enjoy it for the
rest of the day.

-Yeah.

Great idea.

Thank you.

-See you, Fred.

-Bye friend.

A rocker.

Mm.

Mm.

I have be very careful with it.

I remember when I
was a little boy.

People used to rock
me in a rocking chair.

Let's have some make believe.

All right?

[TROLLEY BELL]

OK.

Last time, we pretended that a
gentleman from the Make Believe

Olympic Games Committee had come
saying that the Neighborhood

of Make Believe had
been chosen as the place

for this year's games.

We saw the flying towel race.

And we learned that Lady Elaine
didn't want to play anything

unless she knew she would win.

Today, let's think
of a game where

people could use,
um, rocking chairs.

All right?

Maybe Bob Dog would come.

OK, Trolley.

[TROLLEY BELL]

-It's time for the
Neighborhood of Make Believe.

[TROLLEY BELL]

-All right.

[TROLLEY BELL]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

[TROLLEY BELL]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Stop, Trolley.

I want you to try
something for me.

Are you sure you
can spare the time.

[TROLLEY BELL]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Oh, good.

There.

Now, you see this stop sign?

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

[TROLLEY BELL]

-All right.

When I turn it around,
what does it say?

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

[TROLLEY BELL]

-That's right.

It says go, doesn't it?

Want to play some
stop and go games?

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

[TROLLEY BELL]

-All right?

Ready?

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

[TROLLEY BELL]

-Get set.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

[TROLLEY BELL]

[TROLLEY BELL]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Oh, Bob Dog.

-What are you doing?

-You thought up a new game.

-Yes.

How-oo did you guess?

I was watching you.

Why don't you-- I'll do hold
the signs, and you do the thing.

Ready?
Wait a minute.

-OK.

-Let's stop first.

And then go.

Ready?

Get set.

Go.

-How about clapping?

-Oh, that's a good idea.

-Oh, Lady Aberlin and Bobby Dog.

LADY ABERLIN AND
BOB DOG: Yes, Corny.

-Can you give me a hand, please?

-We can give you
a hand and a paw.

CORNY: OK.

Hand and a paw.

Oh, thanks very much.

-How can we help you, Corny?

-Well, I need to put some
big rockers together.

It'll just take a minute.

If you take these pieces--

-Oh, sure.

-thank you. --and you'll
find some pieces right here.

-Oh, uh huh.

-And some parts over on the
side and on the other side.

And just take them and, uh,
put them here in front of you

on the ground.

Yes.

-Oh, all right.

-It won't take but a minute.

[SINGING] I'm a man
who manufactures--

-that's good.

[SINGING] --who
manufactures chairs--

-just put it there.

[SINGING] --I'm a
man who manufactures

chairs in every way-ers.

I'm a man who manufactures--

-that's right.

Just put them right there.

[SINGING] --I'm a
man who manufactures.

Who manufactures chairs.

Yes.

Yes.

I'm a man who manufacturers
chairs and everywhere.

I'm a man who manufactures.

-OK.

That's good.

Yes.

You've got the all down there.

That's going to make two chairs.

That's right.

-Two chair?

-Uh huh.

-Oh, boy.

It's going to take longer-r-r-r
than just a minute,

then, Corny.

-Oh, no.

-Yes, Corny.

We have a lot of work to do
getting ready for the Olympic

This looks like a
day's worth to us.

-Oh, gracious no.

Those are my instant
assembly models.

Now that you've got them right
down there on the ground,

just stand back
and say, "Instant

assembly rocking chair."

LADY ABERLIN AND BOB
DOG: Instant assembly

rocking chairs.

-It's magic.

-They're just instant assembly.

-Yeah.

Could, could we rock on them?

Could-- just for a minute?

-Well, of course.

That's why I wanted
you to help me.

Just sit on them and see if they
feel like Olympic Game Chairs.

-OK.

-Yeah.

Sure.

-Oh.

-Oh.

-Pretty good--

-This feels really good, Corny.

-Well, I'm glad.

-I could, I could rock
on mine forever-r-r-r.

-Well, why don't you
try a rocking game?

-How?

-Well, just give me
your stop and go sign.

And when I make
it say go, you go.

And when I make it say
stop, you stop rocking.

-That's should be fun.

-Yeah.

That sounds like a lot of fun.

I'll go get the sign.

-OK.

If you just put it
right over here, please.

-Oh, all right.

-Right in there.

That will help me.

That's good.

-How's that, Corny?

-That's fine.

And it says go.

-Go.

-There you go.

-Here we go.

-And now, it says stop.

Good.

And now, ready, get set, go.

And now, ready, get set, stop.

There.

Stop.

-Uh oh.

-Well, the sign
says stop everybody.

-I know it.

-We, we can't stop.

-Well, why not?

-I don't know.

Are these some kind of
trick chairs, Corny?

-Oh, no, nothing
like that has ever

happened to my instantly
assembly before.

LADY ABERLIN: Oh.

-How come there and see
what I can do to help.

LADY ABERLIN: Oh, do.

-Well, well, well.

Having a good rock, everybody?

-Oh, Lady Elaine,
guess what's happening?

-I don't have to guess, toots.

-So it's you, Lady Elaine.

-Oh, no.

Not me, dear.

It's just my Boomerang,
Toomerang, Zoomerang.

Mm hm.

Mm hm.

-Please stop it, Lady Elaine.

-Yes, please.

We want to stop rocking.

-On one condition.

-Well, you always
have conditions.

-What is it you
want, Lady Elaine?

-It's what I don't
want that's important.

-OK, then.

What don't you want?

-I don't want to be "it."

-Don't want to be "it."

What you mean you
don't want to be "it?"

-I just don't want to be "it."

That's all.

-Uh, don't want to
be what, Lady Elaine?

-"It."

I-T. "It."

When you play that game, I
don't want to be "it," ever.

-Look.

People have to take turns
being "it," Lady Elaine.

-OK.

Just keep on rocking the
rest of your days 'til--

-I'll be "it" for you anytime
you want me to, Lady Elaine.

-Oh, you will?

OK.

It's a deal.

Boomerang, Toomerang, Zoomerang.

There you are.

-Oh, boy.

What a--

-Oh.

-what about Lady Aberlin?

-She didn't give me anything.

-Well, I gave it to
you for both of us.

-OK, then.

Boomerang, Toomerang, Zoomerang.

-Oh.

Thank you.

-Mm hm.

-Bob Dog, you are a
woman's best friend.

-Ah.

-OK, now.

Who wants to play tag?

I'm not "it."

Not "it."

-Are you going to
give permission

to have the Olympic Games here?

-Oh, I might.

I just have to
think of something

important to be in charge of.

-Oh, I'm sure you'll
think of that.

-Go and stop and-- maybe
all this stopping and going,

that would be important,
don't you think?

-People have to do
their own stopping

and going and
games, Lady Elaine.

You keep your boomerang
out of this from now on.

-Spoil sport.

[CRYING]

-Oh.

That looks like
Daniel Tiger crying--

-Ah--

---over at the clock.

-He can't take a
joke, that Daniel.

-I'm going to go see him.

And I'll see you all later.

Thanks again, Bob Dog.

-OK, Lady Aberlin.

-Yes.

Thank you, Bob Dog
for helping me.

[CRYING]

-Daniel?

Could I help you, Daniel?

-I didn't want to play, anyway.

-What were you playing?

-Tag.

-And who you're playing with?

-Lady Elaine and all
her imaginary friends.

-And what happened?

-Well, I counted
to 10 like this-



-Yes?

-And, and when I looked
everybody was gone.

-But that's what
they're supposed to do.

They're supposed to hide.

I know, but I didn't like it.

I didn't like it when
everybody went away,

and I couldn't find them.

-I see.

-And I asked Lady Elaine to be
"it," but she wouldn't do it.

She said I had to be "it."

Well, I just don't
like everybody

running away from me like that.

I don't want to be
"it," Lady Aberlin.

-Well, you don't have to play
that game if you don't want to.

-Lady Elaine said
we'd probably have

to play it in the Olympic Games.

And I would probably have
to be "it" the whole time.

-That's just not true.

-It isn't?

-No.

People don't have to play
games they don't want to play.

-They don't?

-No.

The games you play should be
the game you want to play.

-I didn't know that.

-That's why it's important
to talk with somebody who

loves you when your feeling sad.

-Do you love me, Lady Aberlin?

-Of course, I do.

-And I'll tell you
something else, too.

-Yes?

-There are some games I
just can't play at all.

And if they made me play them,
I wouldn't know what to do.

So there.

-You won't have
to play any games

you don't want to play, Daniel.

But if there are some that
you feel you might want to try

sometimes, that's a good way to
find out why other people like

them so much or whether you
might want to play them.

-Mm hm.

-Games are good games when
they give you a good feeling.

-Good games.

Good feeling.

Oh, thank you, Lady Aberlin.

And if you see Lady Elaine, will
you tell her what you told me?

And tell her that
I'm not "it" anymore.

OK?

-I certainly will.

Something tells me that
Lady Elaine doesn't like

to have people running
away from her either.

-I guess not.

-Well, see later.

-Thanks, Lady Aberlin.

-You're welcome, Daniel.

Um.

-Mm.

Ugga mugga.

-Ugga mugga, Daniel.

-Ugga mugga.

Oh, boy.

-Is Daniel OK?

-Yes.

He just doesn't
like to play tag.

-I don't think Lady
Elaine does either.

-Just what I was thinking.

-Close your eyes, and
everybody runs away.

I could see why people
don't want to be "it."

-Me, too.

I like you, Bob Dog.

-I like you, too, Lady Aberlin.

-Let's go over to where
the trolley comes.

Oh, there's Trolley, now.

-What a minute.

-I left some paint here.

-Stop, Trolley.

Go, Trolley.

[TROLLEY BELL]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

LADY ABERLIN: I thought
of a great game just now.

Come on.

Let's play.

-All right.

-It's really good.

[TROLLEY BELL]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-That's true what Lady
Aberlin was saying to Daniel.

Games are good games when
they give you a good feeling.

Daniel didn't like the game of
tag when everybody runs away.

And it's hard to find them.

That's probably why Lady Elaine
didn't want to play, too.

Don't you think But Lady
Elaine couldn't talk about it.

She made mischief instead.

There are all kinds of games
in the world, aren't there?

I have an idea for one.

Let's come out to
the kitchen a minute.

This is what I want.

I'm going to write one word
on this side of the paper.

S- T- O- P. Stop.

And on this side, what
word do you think I'll put?

G- O. Go.

Why don't you clap
your hands anyway

you want to when I show
you the side that says go?

And then when you
see this side, stop.

Stop clapping.

You ready?

Get set.

Did you stop?

All right.

Try once more.

Go.

Stop.

All kinds of games
you can make up.

It's time to feed the fish.

There you are, fish.

And time to have one more rock.

That was scary about
starting to rock

and not being able
to stop, wasn't it?

[SINGING] I'm
taking care of you.

Taking good care of you.

For once, I was
very little, too.

Now, I take care of you.

-I must take care
of my blocks, too.

And that means
putting them away.

And the two cars.

[SINGING] Very little, too.

Now, I take care of you.

-It's a good feeling to be able
to stop when you want to stop,

isn't it?

[SINGING] It's such a good
feeling to know you're alive.

It such a happy feeling
you're growing inside.

And when you wake
up ready to say,

I think I'll make
a snappy new day.

It such a good feeling,
a very good feeling.

The feeling you know that I'll
be back when the day is new.

And I only have
more ideas for you.

And you'll have things
you'll want to talk about.

I will, too.

-You always making
each day a special day.

You know how?

By just your being you.

People can like you
exactly as you are.

I'll be back next time.

Bye bye.
