[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 beautywood,

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 neighbor?

-Hi, neighbor.

Oh, I've just come
from a wonderful walk.

Do you ever take walks
with people you love?

If you do, do you talk about the
things you see along the way?

[PHONE RINGING]

Oh, there's the phone.

Hello?

Oh, hi Mr. McFeely.

Oh, yes.

Oh, well, I was hoping
to go very soon.

All right.

In about ten?

All right.

Thank you very much.

All right.

Bye bye, Mr. McFeely.

That was Mr. McFeely.

Have you ever seen or
heard an ambulance?

Well, I want you to
see what an ambulance

looks like, even on the inside.

And Mr. McFeely's going
to tell me where one is.

But we have some
time before he comes,

so why don't we just have
some make-believe right away?

All right?

Come along.

And get the Trolley.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, Trolley.

[CHIMES]

Yes.

Last time we pretended
that X the Owl's cousin

Mary came to visit.

And she was delivered
a very old map

of the whole make-believe area.

Let's think about that, as
well as some good surprises

as the Trolley
goes by the castle

in the neighborhood
of Make-Believe.

[WHISTLE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CHIMES]

-Oh, hi, Trolley.

I know.

Let's try that
zigzag walk again.

Oh, that's much better.

Now, oh, let's see-- what
about some ballet steps?

Twirling round and round.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[TRUMPETS]

-Lady Aberlin and
Mimus Polyglottos

and Troglodytes
Aedon, I presume.

-Correct, as always,
Uncle Friday.

-And what is going on out here?

-Oh, I'm giving Mimus
and Trog their walking

lessons just as
you asked me to do.

-It seems like frivolous
walking to me, niece Aberlin.

-Well, not everyone
likes to do plain

walking all the
time, Uncle Friday.

-Then I suggest marching.

That is a more serious
form of walking.

-I'm not sure I agree with you.

Nevertheless, I would like
to ask you one question.

-You may proceed.

-Why would birds want
walking lessons anyway?

Birds fly.

-Mimus and Trog are royal birds.

They need to know
how to do everything.

I suggest you concentrate
on some marching, birds.

Farewell.

-Farewell, Uncle Friday.

-Farewell.

-Ready to do some marching?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[IMITATING DRUM]

Hey.

Hey, wait a minute.

What-- what's going on here?

What happened?

Mimus?

Trog?

Oh, my.

Who are you?

-I'm Cousin Stephen the owl.

-Are you X's cousin?

-Yes, and Cousin Mary's cousin.

And I'm looking
for the old tunnel.

-Is-- is there a tunnel
up there somewhere?

-I don't know where it is.

I just like to
find tunnels, and I

heard there was one
in this neighborhood.

-Oh.

-Want to help me look?

-Sure.

Where do you suggest we begin?

-How about Cousin X's tree?

-Oh, does he know you're coming?

-No.

Neither does Cousin Mary.

-Oh, something
tells me we're going

to have two more
surprised birds.

-Oh, do you want to walk or fly?

-Oh, I don't have a choice.

-Oh, that's right.

How about slow motion?

-That I can do.

Oh.

Look, there's a sign.

Will you read it?

STEPHEN: "Please knock once
for X, twice for Cousin Mary,

three times for both of us."

Let's knock three
times for both of them.

You want to do the knocking?

-Glad to.

X: Sorry.

Cousin Mary isn't
here right now.

-Uh, but we knocked three
times for both of you.

X: That's what I mean.

We can't both come out
because she's not here.

-Uh, but we'd like
to see you anyway.

X: Well, then, knock one time.

Well, fancy seeing
you here, Lady A.

[LAUGHING]

-And what about me?

-Oh, Cousin Steve, how
in the world are you?

-All the better for
seeing you, Cousin X.

-Oh, boy.

-Cousin Steve is looking
for an old tunnel.

Have you ever heard of a
tunnel in this neighborhood?

-Oh, no, but anything's
possible here.

You know that, Lady A.

-I do.

-Well, maybe I should just
begin digging right here.

-Oh, wait, Cousin Steve.

-What for?

-You know the best way for
owls to begin a new project.

-Oh, that's right.

The song.

Want to say it with me?

X: Oh, sure.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-[SINGING] Owl
Correspondence School.

Dear OCS.

X: OCS.

-[SINGING] We do our
lessons and we get a U or S.

We hope for an S. Owl
Correspondence School.

Dear OCS.

X: Dear OCS.

-[SINGING] Owl
Correspondence School.

We love you best.

We love you best.

-I knew that must be
you, Cousin Steve.

-Good to see you, Cousin Mary.

-You look like a cousin
yourself, Lady Aberlin.

-Oh, I'm so moved by
your bird traditions.

-Speaking of birds, look
who I found in my map.

[GASPING]

-Oh!

There you are.

Were you afraid of Cousin Steve?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, well, you can see that
he's big, but he's very kind.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Did you find
anything in that map

while you were hiding there?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, a place to
practice your dancing.

Well, I was hoping to
find the way to a tunnel.

-I must get these dancing
birds back to their home.

-Suppose we three
cousins study this map.

-Good idea.

A new owl project.

-Thanks for your
help, Lady Aberlin.

-Please keep us informed
of any tunnel work.

-You can count on us cousins.

-That's for sure.

-You two are so clever--
hiding in a map.

Honestly, just imagine.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I was wondering--

[CHIMES]

Oh, yes, Trolley.

They certainly are.

[CHIMES]

[WHISTLE]

-It's really fun to see
another of X's cousins.

Now we know Cousin
Mary and Cousin Steve.

I wonder if they will find
a tunnel in make-believe.

We can think more
about that next time.

Right now, the fish
need some food.

I wonder if fish have a
correspondence school the way

the owls do.

[SINGING] Fish
Correspondence School.

Dear FCS.

We do our less--

[KNOCKING]

Let's see who's at the door.

Oh, it's Mr. McFeely.

Mr. McFeely, hi.

-Speedy Delivery.

Ready to go?

-To the ambulance?

-Yes.

Now all that you have to
do is go down your street,

turn right, and then
turn right again.

-Oh, good.

I've seen them going along
the streets, you know.

And I've heard them, too.

-Well, today you'll get
a chance to see what

the inside of an
ambulance looks like.

I wish I could go
with you, but I

have some pickups
and deliveries to do.

But I'm sure you'll find it.

-Oh, I appreciate
the directions.

-Of course, if you were
sick and you needed someone

to go with you, you
know I would do that.

-Oh, I know that, Mr. McFeely.

-But it's good to show people
what the inside of an ambulance

looks like.

I've seen it, and
it's very interesting.

Now the person you're to
ask for is Mr. Wayne Epps.

-Wayne Epps.

-Wayne Epps, and
he's expecting you.

-Good.

Now you say it's down
this street, to the right,

and then right again.

-Right again.

-Are you going this way?

-I'm going that way
with a delivery.

-All right.
Thanks, Mr. McFeely.

-See you around
the neighborhood.

-Bye bye.

-Bye bye.

-Bye.

Let's go.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Hello, I'm Fred Rogers.

-Oh, hello.

My name's Roy Cox.

-Glad to meet you, Roy.

I'm looking for someone
by the name of Wayne Epps.

-Oh, yes.

Wayne, there's someone
here to see you.

-I'm Fred Rogers.

-Hello.

My name's Wayne Epps.

-Glad to meet you, Wayne.

I'd like you to know my
television neighbor, Mr. Epps.

-Hello.

Roy, here's that bag you wanted.

-Thank you.

-We've come to find out
about what paramedics do.

-Oh, paramedics
come to treat you

if you're sick or
injured in an emergency.

-And then do they take
you to the hospital

in an ambulance like this?

-Yes, we would.

We would place
you on a stretcher

and put you in to
get to the hospital.

-You mean you'd go right under
these seat belts, is that it?

-We'd place you right under
these three seat belts,

unless you need to
be very, very still.

-Oh.

-If you come over, I
can show you something.

-What is this?

-This is our--

-It looks like a sled.

-It's our long spine board.

We would place you
in this if you were

in an automobile
accident or you fell.

-I see.

And would that go right on this?

-It would go right under there.

-Do you think maybe
I could get in

that so I could show my
friends how to do it?

-Sure.

Roy, could you give me a hand?

I was just about to show Fred
how the long backboard works.

-That'd be fine.

-Before I do that,
though, I have

to put this neck collar on you.

This is stiff, and it helps
keep your neck from moving.

Although the inside is soft--
makes it more comfortable.

-Boy, that is soft in there.

-Roy, if you could place
the board out front.

Now if you were injured,
there would be someone

there to keep their
hands on your head

to make sure you couldn't move.

You're going to hear a lot
of crunching of the Velcro

and this buckling
of the seat belts

that we're going
to put around you.

-I see.

-This is going to be very stiff.

-Oh, you mean you can
do this standing up?

-Yes.

If you were injured when we
arrived, and you were standing,

we could place you
in this equipment

while you were already standing.

He's putting the seat
belts on you now.

-I can feel that.

-That's going to keep
you close to the board.

-Uh-huh.

-And all that time,
somebody would stay with you

to make sure you're not
frightened at all, having all

this equipment on
you-- just like I'm

doing now-- keeping
my hands on you.

-Yeah, and you tell me
what's going on all the time,

don't you?

-That's exactly right.

He's going to put the two
blocks-- they're soft as well--

on the side of your head
to keep you from moving

your head from side to side,
especially while we're driving.

And there's some padded
straps that go around

that secures your head
to the board as well.

How's that feel?

-Oh, it feels-- like I'm
not supposed to move,

and that's just the
way it is, isn't it?

-Exactly.

-But my eyes can see you, and
I can have my eyes look over

and see Roy, too.

-OK.

We're going to place you
on the stretcher now.

-You mean you can do that
with my being like this?

-Yeah.

We have you secured
to the board.

I have the top.

-Oh, it feels like I'm flying.

-Yeah.

We have to place more
seat belts on you.

-What should I do with my arms?

-We can place them
on your stomach

and give yourself a
big hug while we're

putting you in the ambulance.

-Uh-huh.

Lots of seat belts.

-Parallel position.

-Oh, we're going
into the ambulance.

-Yes.

The stretcher rolls
right into the ambulance.

-We're in the ambulance.

-Yeah.

-But you know, all I can
see is your face, Wayne,

and those lights on the ceiling.

-Yeah.

Those lights can be
quite bright sometimes.

It's to help us see what
we're doing back here.

-Uh-huh.

If you were taking a
child to the hospital,

where would that
child's mom or dad be?

-Well, the parent
would ride up front

with the other medic
that's driving.

-Uh-huh.

-But there would always
be somebody back here

with the child so he wouldn't
have to be frightened.

I know you probably can't
see much in this equipment,

so we're going to take
you out, and we'll

come back in and look
at some other things.

-All right.

-Roy, if I could get
a hand from you again.

I'm going to take Fred
off the stretcher.

OK.

We're going to sit you up here.

-Whew.

Thank you.

I was just thinking-- if a young
child should be hurt and needed

to be still like I was there,
would you use this same board?

-No, we would use a smaller one.

We have a board for kids.

-Uh-huh.

-And it's stiff and
has straps, too.

-I see.

A child's head would be there.

-Right They would have a
small collar just like you had

on that would keep
their neck stiff.

-But I don't see any seat belts.

-No.

We have these Velcro straps.

These would be placed
around a child.

They act like your seat belts,
and they keep the child still.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh, I see.

Boy, you have everything.

Thank you very much for, Roy.

-You're welcome.

-We'll go back in and
see some more things.

-OK.

This surely looks
different standing up.

-Yeah.

-What are these things here?

-This is where we keep our
bandages if someone's bleeding.

-Oh, I see.

Well, this looks like a
regular car seat for a child.

-It is.

It's a regular car seat.

If the patient doesn't
have to ride on that board,

we would place the child in this
and take him to the hospital--

just like riding with their
mother or father in a car.

-I see.

Now those look like
phones-- telephones.

-They do.

They look like telephones, but
they work like Walkie Talkies.

This one here is so we
can talk to our doctor.

And the other one allows
us to talk to the hospital

and let them know
we're on our way.

MISTER ROGERS: Uh-huh.

-I have some other things
over here I can show you.

Step over here and have a seat.

-Sure.

-First we have our
rubber gloves here.

And we would place those on.

That would protect the medic
and the patient from germs.

-You mean you'd wear them.

-Yes.

-Uh-huh.

Not the patient?

-No, I would wear those
during the treatment.

-I see.

-Next I would use my
pulse oximeter there

and place this on your finger.

And that won't pinch or squeeze.

This will show me your-- how
fast your heart is beating.

And how well you're breathing.

-Well, this doesn't hurt at all.

What'd you call it?

Pulse oximeter.

-A pulse oximeter.

Your heart rate is 78, and
you have a 98% [INAUDIBLE].

That's very good.

-Ah.

Well, I'm glad I'm healthy.

-Well, based on
what that told me,

we might have to put
some oxygen on you.

And we would place this on
you to help you breathe.

This would plug
right into the wall.

And we'd place that right on
your face just like a mask.

-And just--

-And just breathe.

-And that'd make
you feel better?

-That would help
make you feel better.

-Hm.

-If you needed a
little more, we might

have to give you
some medication.

In that case, we might
have to start an IV.

-This is called an IV?

-Yes.

We would hang this bag, and we'd
have to use this needle here.

And we would place
that in you-- you

would have a big pinch
there, but just one time.

And then the end
of this would plug

right into the back of there.

And the fluid would
flow right in.

-Oh, that would come right down
in here like medicine into you.

-That's how we would put
the medicine in there.

-IV.

Wayne, what's that
orange thing there?

-This is a vacuum splint.

And--

-A vacuum splint?

-A vacuum splint.

-Huh.

-We have different
sizes that would

fit different
parts of your body.

But if you broke your arm,
we would use this one.

It would go right on like this.

And this would get
hard like a cast,

and you would wear
this until the doctor

has seen you at the hospital.

-I see.

Well, you have a lot
of fancy equipment.

But the important thing is
that you know how to use it.

I was wondering,
did you ever have

to go to the hospital
in an ambulance?

-Yes, I had to ride
in an ambulance once,

and I was very impressed.

And that helped me when I
wanted to become a paramedic.

-Well, you must have met
some paramedics then.

-I did.

And I really liked the sounds
that the ambulance had.

-You mean the siren?

-The siren, that's right.

-Is there any way to hear
that from this ambulance?

-Sure.

If you follow me, I'll show you
how we make the siren sound.

-Oh, good.

-When we use the siren, we
use our red emergency lights

as well.

It's pretty loud.

Are you ready?

-OK, yeah.

-Here it goes.

[SIREN]

-Oh, that is loud!

[SIREN]

Boy, that really is loud.

-That's very loud.

That's how we warn the other
drivers that we're coming.

We're in a hurry on our
way to an emergency.

-On your way to help somebody.

Boy.

You help a lot of people,
and we're grateful for it.

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much, Wayne.

Hope to see you soon again.

-Thank you for coming.

-Bye bye.

-Bye bye.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Oh, what an
experience that was.

I had a lot of different
feelings when I was there.

Yes, especially when they
put me in that thing--

you know, when I had to-- I
had to be very, very still.

And then it felt
as if I was just

flying when they put
me on that stretcher.

And then they put me inside,
but you know the whole time

I could feel that those
people were so nice.

They really want to be helpful.

I hope you never have to
use an ambulance for real,

but if you do, now you know what
it's like-- even on the inside.

And you've seen how kind and
helpful the paramedics are.

It's good to know what
to expect at good times

and at scary times.

I know [SINGING] I like to be
told when you're going away,

when you're going to come back,
and how long you will stay.

How long you will stay,
I like to be told.

I like to be told if
it's going to hurt.

If it's going to be hard.

If it's not going to
hurt, I like to be told.

I like to be told.

It helps me to get ready
for all those things,

all those things that are new.

I trust you more
and more each time

that I'm finding those
things to be true.

I like to be told.

because I'm trying to grow.

And I'm trying to learn,
and I'm trying to know.

I like to be told.

I like to be told.

-I remember when I was a little
boy, my mother and my dad

and my grandparents
would often tell me

about things that
were going to happen

that I didn't know
about before that.

And I was so glad that they
would tell me because when

the things happened, then I
felt that I was ready for them.

That's what I like
to do for you.

I like to be able to show and
tell you all kinds of things.

That's the way it is
when somebody loves you.

That person wants to help you
feel as comfortable as possible

in this life.

It can give you a good
feeling to know that.

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

It's 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's such a good feeling,
a very good feeling,

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

and I'll have more
ideas for you.

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

I will, too.

-You always make each day
such a special day for me.

You know how.

By just your being you yourself.

There's only one person in
this whole world like you,

and that's you.

And people can like
you exactly as you are.

I know I can.

And I do.

I'll be back next time.

Bye bye.
