[MUSIC PLAYING]

-[SINGING] It's a beautiful
day in this neighborhood,

a beautiful day in
this neighborhood.

Would you be mine?

Would 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 my neighbor?

Won't you please?

Won't you please?

Please won't you be my neighbor?

-Do you ever pretend
that your hand is flying?

You could use both hands.

I have flying on my mind today
because you and I have been

invited to visit the
Flying Karamazov Brothers.

I don't think they fly.

But they make a lot
of other things fly.

They're rehearsing at
a neighborhood theater.

And they said we could come.

So let's just go
there now, and see

what the Flying Karamazov
Brothers really do.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Here we are at the theater.

Let's just go on in.

[CLAPPING]

-Fred you made it.

Please come on up.

Meet the guys.

-Thanks, Sam.

Wow, you all are fabulous.

-Thanks a lot of.

Fred Rogers, this
is Howard Patterson.

-Nice to meet you.

-Paul.

-Hello, Paul.

-And Michael Presti.

-Hello, glad to meet you.

Now I'd like you all to meet
my television neighbors.

It's The Flying
Karamazov Brothers.

-Hi.

-You were passing those--
what do you call these?

-Tins.

-You were passing
them back and forth

and moving the whole time.

Could I touch one?

-Please hold one.

-This is quite light.

-It weight about half a pound.

It's made out of plastic.

-So it's not the same kind
of thing that you would

in a bowling alley.

-No, bowling pins weigh
much more than these.

-But you go like that.

-Very good!

-I love to see you
do those things.

Now, somebody told me that you
play music with these as well?

-Yes, we do with these
and with other things.

We have some mallets over
here that we play music with.

Would you like to see those.

-Yes, I would, thank you.

-Shall I take that?

-This looks something
like a xylophone.

-It's actually a marimbaphone.

-Marimbaphone.

-Yeah, it's like a xylophone.

-Would you like to try?

-Sure.

[TONES]

-What does this have
to do with juggling?

-These are special
mallets that we juggle

and play marimba
at the same time.

-Could you do that?

-Oh, sure, our
favorite piece to play

is by Johan Sebastian Bach.

It's called "The Part Invention
Number Four in D Minor."

-That's very impressive.

-We'll play part of it.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Isn't that wonderful?

Oh, thank you for that.

Are you both musicians?

-Yeah, I play clarinet
and reed instruments.

And he plays brasses.

-I started playing trombone
when I was eight years old.

-Eight?

-And I also play some other
brasses, guitar and things.

-We were musicians before
we started to juggle anyway.

You were too?

-Yeah, I was.

-Oh, we all were.

I didn't want to say
it without being sure.

-So you really are full of
rhythm to be able to do this?

-Juggling is a very
rhythmic thing.

And music itself is also.

So they blend together
rather readily.

-But when you started
to juggle, you

didn't use mallets or
pins like you use now?

-I started with walnuts.

-Walnuts?

-Because I had a
lot of them around.

I started doing two in one hand.

I just figured it out myself.

And then a friend told me how
to do three when I was about 12,

I think.

-But you dropped some?

-All the time, you can't learn
to juggle without dropping.

-Oh, glad to hear that
because every time

I try to do any kind of juggling
it goes right on the floor.

It falls down.

-You need a lesson or something.

-I sure do need a lesson.

-May I offer you one?

-Certainly.

-Right here are
some scarves which

are one thing that people
learn to juggle with.

Perhaps we should
just start with one.

And we'll work up to others.

Just a single scar, just
toss it back and forth

from hand to hand.

And then with a second scarf.

-That's not hard.

-No, you exchange.

You toss one.

When it starts to come down, you
throw a second one, like this.

-Uh oh.

-It goes one, two, catch, catch.

-It's a little bit harder.

But it's not too bad.

Scarves are a nice
thing to learn with.

They don't bounce around the
house when you're practicing.

And they also fall slowly.

So it gives you more time
to play with catching them.

Very good.

OK,

-And so it needs to be
musical, doesn't it?

-Very rhythmic, is
the essence of it.

Juggling is just left, right,
left, right, left, right.

It's just as simple as that.

And when you want
to do three, you

start with the hand
that holds two.

And you throw one, then the
other, just as you were.

And when the second one
starts to come down,

you throw the third one.

And then just go back and
forth, back and forth.

So here, have a third one.

Give it a sh*t.

Start with the hand
that holds two.

-Down the go.

-The drop trick.

I spent many years
perfecting the drop trick

actually in my
early juggling days.

So start with the
hand that holds two.

Throw first one of those.

And then this one over
here, and then the red one.

Very good.

That's exactly it.

And really don't
worry about dropping.

You have to drop to learn.

Just make sure you
do those throws.

-Very good, very, very good.

Congratulations.

-I'll have to try these when
I'm by myself some time.

-Please do keep a set.

You've just learned them.

You've earned your set
of juggling scarves.

-Oh, thank you, Sam.

[TAPPING]

-Come on, Sam, go
get your shoes on.

-Looks like you all
have different shoes on.

-Yes, we have some
taps on our shoes

so we can make
music with our feet.

-And we also have
things on our hands too.

-What are these?

-We call the gloves whackos.

They're like tap gloves.

So there's little
snaps on the palms.

And when we catch a
club, they make a sound.

-Show us how you do it.

[CLICKING]

-How was the lesson?

-Oh, it was fine.

Sam's a fine teacher.

But you mean you're
going to actually

tap dance as you juggle.

-We have a piece here.

We're going to tap dance and
make sounds with our hands

all at once.

-You'll be able to see
a little better from out

in one of the seats there.

-Well, I'll go and watch there.

-We'll give it a try.

[CLICKING]

-Everybody bambo!

[CLICKING]

-Yo!

[CLAPPING]

-You are just great.

No wonder people call you the
Flying Karamazov Brothers.

I'm proud to be your neighbor.

Hope to see you again.

-Bye, Fred.

-Bye.

-Take care.

-Let's try it again guys.

-Let's just go on
back to my place.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-When people juggle
well, they make

it look as if the
things they're juggling

are really flying in the air.

Let's have some make believe.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Trolley.

Those Flying Karamazov
Brothers are wonderful.

Trolley, I wondered if you
ever thought of flying.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Like X the Owl, yeah.

All right, let's just
have some believe.

To the Neighborhood
of Make Believe.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Oh, hello, Trolley.

Oh, Neighbor Aber, you
all are so generous.

-Well Mayor Maggie
thought these vegetables

and fruit might be of help.

-Oh, food for the world
can always use food.

-And some money to send
it where it's needed.

-Oh, please thank Mayor
Maggie for us, won't you?

-I'll be glad to.

I'll just leave this produce
here in the garden for you, OK?

-That'll be just fine.

And I thank you
again, Neighbor Aber.

-You're always
welcome, Queen Sarah.

-Oh, such generosity.

[WHISTLING]

[TAPPING]

-Do you hear some
strange noises?

Let's see if it gets louder
or softer as I go this way.

[TAPPING]

-I can hardly hear it over here.

So it must be back
there somewhere.

[BANGING]

-It's getting louder.

So we must be closer to it.

[TAPPING]

-Sounds like it might
be right in there.

X the Owl, are you all right?

-Oh, Neighbor Aber, I was just
hoping somebody would come by.

-Are you OK?

We heard a big noise.

-Yeah, I'm OK, but I can't get
my owl copy machine to work.

-Your owl copy machine?

-Yeah, I was trying to
print up some fliers.

And all of a sudden, it stopped.

-Well, where is your machine?

-Inside my tree.

Do you have time
to help with it?

-Oh, sure, do you want
to show it to me here?

-Why don't you just
come on inside?

-Back door?

-That's the easiest.

-All right, I'll see you
inside in one and a half.

-One and a half it is.

Thanks.

[KNOCKING]

-Come on in.

Yep, good, it's right over here.

-Oh, my, it does look like
there's something wrong.

-That's my copy machine.

-Just what is this
you're trying to print?

-I'm trying to
print learn to fly.

-Oh, I see.

Learn to fly.

You planning to give
flying lessons, X?

-Sure, I mean, if I can
fly, I should certainly

be able to teach somebody else.

-I don't know about that.

But I came in here to
help fix your machine.

-Do you think you can do it?

-Well, I'm not sure.

Is it unplugged?

-I'll check for sure.

Yep, it's unplugged.

-OK, good.

Let's see.

That seems to be all right.

Everything looks good out here.

Let's take a look inside.

Roller to-- oh, wait a minute.

-What?

-Has this blue, yellow, and
pink scarf always been in here?

-I wondered where that was.

-Mind if I take it out?

-Oh, please do.

-Well, well, well.

Thanks, Neighbor Aber.

-You're welcome.

-Yeah, I better plug it in.

We'll see if it works.

OK?

-OK.

-Just second.

-All right.

-There it is!

-Wow!

-It works.

-Thanks, I mean, you're
really good at fixing stuff.

-I'm glad I could be of help.

-I better turn it off now.

-Oh, that's much better.

-Learn to fly.

-That's right.

I'll tell you.

I'm going to teach flying.

Please take some of
those papers and give

them to folks, all right?

-Folks?

Not just birds?

-Oh, give them to anybody.

I'll teach anybody to fly.

-OK I'll spread the word.

Looks like you're going
to have plenty of flyers.

-About flying,
thanks, Neighbor Aber.

-You're quite welcome, X.

-How would you like
to have that scarf

to remind you of what
a good fixer you are?

-I'd be glad to have it.

Thanks, see you later.

-Any time, and free
flying lessons for you.

-No thanks, X. Walking
is just fine for me.

You're our flyer.

-Happy landings.

-I think I'll make a few more.

-Meow inside meow
tree, meow X the Owl.

-Oh, here he comes now.

-Hi, Henrietta.

-You were inside.

-Yes, helping X with
some flying flyers.

-Meow meow flyers.

-Learn to fly.

-X is going to teach flying.

-Meow little birds, meow?

-No, he says he'll
teach anybody.

-Meow never meow meow.

-What would you
want to learn to do?

-Meow like meow two.

-Really?

Sing like Mayor Maggi and I?

Well, that's very nice.

-Meow sing meow something?

-Oh, of course, sure we will.

-What song should we sing?

-How about "You are special."

-How about that?

-Meow meow special meow perfect.

-[SINGING] You are my friend.

You are special.

You are my friend.

You're special to me.

You are the only one like

-[SINGING] Meow meow daytime,
meow meow night time.

-[SINGING] Any time that
you feel is the right tie.

-[SINGING] For a friendship
with me, you see.

-[SINGING] F-R-I-E-N-D special.

-[SINGING] You are my
friend You're special to me.

There's only one in
this wonderful world.

You are special.

-Meow meow, thank

-Meow love singing meow you too.

-Anytime, and any time

your neighbor owl is
ready to teach you.

-Meow a lot.

Goodbye.

-Goodbye.

-Did you deliver the
food to Queen Sarah?

-I did, the food and the money.

And she was very
pleased and grateful.

-Good, I have a meeting
with King Friday.

Will you take care of
things back in Westwood?

-Sure, want to give out
some of these flyers?

-Learn to fly.

I wonder who will try?

-I'll walk for now, thanks.

-See you back home.

-OK.

-Bye!

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Hi, Trolley.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Want to learn to fly, Trolley?

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Well, X the Owl is the teacher.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Hope you do, too, Trolley.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Do you think X the Owl will
be able to teach people,

and trolleys, and
other things to fly?

Of course, anything's possible
in make believe, isn't it?

Make believe is like a daydream,
dreaming in the daytime.

And anything can
happen in dreaming.

-[SINGING] In the
daytime, in the nighttime,

any time that you
feel's the right time.

For a friendship
with me, you see,

F-R-I-E-N-D special,
you are my friend.

You're special to me.

There's only one in
this wonderful world.

You are special.

[KNOCKING]

-Well, I wonder what special
person is at our door.

Let's see.

Oh, it's Mr. McFeely.

Come on.

-Speedy delivery.

-I don't think I've
ordered anything.

-Well, a long time ago, you
asked me to find a video

about how people make a
certain food in a factory.

-What kind of food?

-I'll give you a hint.

Some people mix tomato sauce
with this certain kind of food.

-Is it pasta?

-It's pasta.

A kind of a pasta.

In fact, it's macaroni.

And this video is how
people make macaroni.

There you go.

-Oh, do you have time
to watch it with us?

-I do.

-Let's show it on
picture picture.

Thank you, Mr. McFeely.

-I thought you'd
find it interesting.

-A a long time ago I
asked you about that.

-And it finally came in.

And here it is.

-Great, we'll show it
on picture picture, how

people make macaroni
in a factory.

MR. MCFEELY: When people make
macaroni, they use wheat.

It's brought to the factory
in trains like this one.

MR. ROGERS: You mean that
train's full of wheat?

MR. MCFEELY: It is.

And she's going to
unload the wheat

from the bottom
of the train car.

MR. ROGERS: Bottom?

MR. MCFEELY: Just watch.

You'll see.

And it goes into bins
under the ground.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, look
at all that wheat.

It really comes out fast.

MR. MCFEELY: It surely does.

Then it travels on
a conveyor belt,

and then in a bucket elevator
to these tall, round buildings.

And they're called silos.

MR. ROGERS: They're
big, those silos.

MR. MCFEELY: And
from the silos, it

moves down through these big
blue pipes to the separator.

It shakes out sticks,
and grass, and dirt,

that might still
be in the wheat.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, I
see what you mean.

You wouldn't want that stuff.

MR. MCFEELY: And
here's the clean wheat.

MR. ROGERS: That
does look clean.

MR. MCFEELY: These
are roller mills.

They grind up the
pieces of wheat

into flour so that it's
smooth, almost like sand.

MR. ROGERS: Roller mills?

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, Mr. McFeely,
what are those machines?

I like the way they move.

MR. MCFEELY: They're sifters.

They shake out any leftover
big pieces of wheat

so that just the smooth flour
is left to make the macaroni.

MR. ROGERS: Sifters.

MR. MCFEELY: This big
mixing machine mixes water

with the floor to make
the macaroni dough.

She's adding the water now.

MR. ROGERS: I see it
going through the tube.

MR. MCFEELY: And
there's the flour

ready to be stirred up
by those mixing blades.

She starts the machine.

MR. ROGERS: There it goes.

MR. MCFEELY: Round and around.

Now here comes my favorite part.

MR. ROGERS: Your favorite part?

MR. MCFEELY: Yes,
that's the extruder.

MR. ROGERS: Extruder?

MR. MCFEELY: Yes,
watch carefully.

And you'll see the macaroni
coming out of the machine.

MR. ROGERS: Any wonder
it's your favorite part.

That is fun to watch.

Each one of those
little macaroni pieces.

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

MR. ROGERS: Why is he
squeezing that dough?

MR. MCFEELY: He's checking
to be sure it's just right.

The macaroni moves through
these long, big tubes

where it is dried.

MR. ROGERS: Not cooked?

But dried?

MR. MCFEELY: Just dried.

That conveyor shakes out
all the broken pieces.

MR. ROGERS: Look at
all that macaroni.

It looks like it's dancing.

MR. MCFEELY: That's
enough macaroni

to feed a lot of people.

MR. ROGERS: I should say.

MR. MCFEELY: And down it goes
into this machine where it's

weighed so that
each box of macaroni

has just the right
amount inside.

And now it goes into the box.

MR. ROGERS: That
part of the machine

reminds me of a merry-go-round.

MR. MCFEELY: Me too.

And now it's sent to stores
where people can but it,

eat it, and enjoy it.

-I never realized how much
work it is to make macaroni.

-Most of the time we just eat
it and don't think about it.

-That's right.

-Macaroni and cheese is
grandchildren's favorite meal.

-Oh, I like it myself.

Don't you?

-I do.

And I'll show this
video to them too.

-They might want to see it.

-I have more deliveries today.

So right now I'll just say
speedy delivery to you.

-Thanks, Mr. McFeely.

-You're welcome.
See you around the neighborhood.

-And thanks for remembering.

-You're welcome.

Bye!

-Bye!

Mr. McFeely remembers so much.

I have to keep practicing.

It's fun to think
about flying, isn't it?

In fact, it's fun to pretend
about all sorts of things,

like being stronger
than we really are,

or being braver
than we really are.

But the best thing is to
know that we're really just

fine the way we're growing, that
people can like this exactly

for what we really are way
down deep inside ourselves.

And knowing that for sure can
give us all a good feeling.

-[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.

-Be back next time!
