[MUSIC PLAYING]

MR. ROGERS: 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?

Will you be my neighbor?

Won't you please,
won't you please,

please won't you be my neighbor?

Hi neighbor, I'm glad
we're back together again.

I have two things
to show you today.

One of them I can play and the
other I can't do very well.

Here's the one I can play.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Here's the one that
I don't do very well.

It's called a yo-yo.

Never have been able to
make a yo-yo work very well.

I'll try it anyway.

You know, some people can make
them go up and down and around.

I'll try once more.

It just sits down.

Is there anything that
you have in your life

that you can't make
work very well?

There's somebody at the
door, let's see who it is.

Oh, it's Marilyn Barnett.

Hi Marilyn.

MARILYN BARNETT: Hi
Fred, how are you?

MR. ROGERS: I'm just fine.

How are you?

MARILYN BARNETT:
I'm doing great.

Are you ready for
some exercises?

MR. ROGERS: Sure.

Inside or out?

MARILYN BARNETT:
Let's come out here.

MR. ROGERS: Incidentally, I've
been trying to work a yo-yo.

Never been able to
make it work right.

MARILYN BARNETT: That's not
one of my talents either.

MR. ROGERS: It isn't?

MARILYN BARNETT: No, I
think that's something

you really have to practice.

MR. ROGERS: That's for sure.

Well we'll practice
our exercises.

MARILYN BARNETT: That's good.

I have some big and [INAUDIBLE]
exercises for you today.

Alright, arms out.

And this is great because we
always have to warm up muscles.

Start little circles.

You're going backwards
and I'm going forwards.

And you can go either way.

MR. ROGERS: I should go
the way you're going.

MARILYN BARNETT: Hold those
shoulder muscles down,

and warming them up.

Now let's try going backwards.

That's the way you started.

Now the muscles are warm,
let's make them bigger.

Take it forward.

MR. ROGERS: Whoa, we're flying.

MARILYN BARNETT: It
feels like flying.

Now let's take it backwards.

MR. ROGERS: Oh you're
such a good teacher.

MARILYN BARNETT: That's great.

You're a good student.

How's that feel?

You know Fred, I was thinking.

I have a student who is
really great with a yo-yo,

would you like to meet him?

MR. ROGERS: I would.

MARILYN BARNETT: Ok, I'll see
if he could come over later on.

MR. ROGERS: Great, I'd
like to meet him very much.

MARILYN BARNETT: OK I
have to get back to class.

MR. ROGERS: Good,
thanks so much.

MARILYN BARNETT: Bye bye.

MR. ROGERS: Bye Marilyn.

Little and then big.

She It is a really good teacher.

Well, let's go inside.

We need to feed the fish.

Take the yo-yo to the fish.

There you are fish.

I think it's time for
some make believe.

We'll just use the model.

Here's the Castle
and the trolley.

Here's the factory and the tree.

You know, these are
models of the places

that we make believe about.

And a model is a little thing
which looks like a big one.

[INAUDIBLE]

This little trolley is a model
of the big trolley, which

goes through the tunnel into the
Neighborhood of Make Believe.

So shall we just
pretend something

about yo-yos and little
and big exercises

and all sorts of things in the
Neighborhood of Make Believe?

You ready?

Neighborhood of Make Believe.

NEIGHBOR ABER: Let's
try that big one.

And that little one.

MAYOR MAGGIE: Hello Prince
Tuesday, Neighbor Aber.

I don't want to interrupt
your exercise time.

NEIGHBOR ABER: Not at all,
we've just about finished,

haven't we Prince Tuesday?

MAYOR MAGGIE: You play
that keyboard very well

Prince Tuesday.

PRINCE TUESDAY:
Thanks Mayor Maggie.

MAYOR MAGGIE: Well, I have
a meeting with the King,

so I thought I'd make
this delivery on the way.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Who's it for?

MAYOR MAGGIE: Can you read
the name on the address?

PRINCE TUESDAY: CR
Aber, Westwood Neighbor.

NEIGHBOR ABER: It's for me?

MAYOR MAGGIE: Yes, it
arrived just a little

while ago-- speedy delivery.

NEIGHBOR ABER:
Thank you very much.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Aren't
you going to open it?

NEIGHBOR ABER: Do
you want me to?

MAYOR MAGGIE: We certainly do.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Well what is it?

NEIGHBOR ABER: It's a yo-yo.

MAYOR MAGGIE: A yo-yo.

Do you know how to yo-yo?

NEIGHBOR ABER: Not well at all.

Do you want to try it?

MAYOR MAGGIE: No thanks.

I guess Westwood's
not a yo-yoing place.

NEIGHBOR ABER: That's for sure.

How about you Tuesday?

Would like to try?

PRINCE TUESDAY:
Oh, surely would.

NEIGHBOR ABER: All right.

Here, I'll help you
get it on your finger.

PRINCE TUESDAY:
Thanks Neighbor Aber.

Mayor Maggie will you
please hold my keyboard?

MAYOR MAGGIE: Certainly.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Thank you.

I like this.

NEIGHBOR ABER: Wow, you are
a real expert with a yo-yo.

PRINCE TUESDAY: It's just
natural for me somehow.

MAYOR MAGGIE: We all
have different talents.

One of yours is certainly
yo-yoing It's almost

time for my meeting
with the King.

NEIGHBOR ABER: I
think Tuesday and I

ought to show some of the other
neighbors how well he yo-yos.

Want to Tuesday?

PRINCE TUESDAY: Sure, see
you later Mayor Maggie.

MAYOR MAGGIE: See you later.

NEIGHBOR ABER: Thanks
for the delivery.

KING FRIDAY: Mayor
Maggie, I presume?

MAYOR MAGGIE: Correct
as usual King Friday.

KING FRIDAY: Had you planned
to play a little song for me?

MAYOR MAGGIE: I'm taking care
of this for Prince Tuesday.

KING FRIDAY: Where
is that son of mine?

MAYOR MAGGIE: He
and Neighbor Aber

are showing some
talents to others.

KING FRIDAY: Well suppose we
show my talent to the world.

MAYOR MAGGIE: How so?

KING FRIDAY: You shall
play rowing your boat

down the stream music, and I
shall sing the kingly words.

[MUSIC PLAYING] Propel, propel,
propel your craft, gently down

liquid solution.

Ecstatically, ecstatically,
ecstatically, ecstatically,

existence is but an illusion.

MAYOR MAGGIE: Those
are very big words.

KING FRIDAY: They
suit me perfectly.

Enough of our little frivolity.

We must discuss big matters.

You may follow me to the B Room.

MAYOR MAGGIE: The B Room?

KING FRIDAY: B for big.

MAYOR MAGGIE: Of course.

KING FRIDAY: We will
return to this garden

when Neighbor Aber and
Tuesday themselves return.

MAYOR MAGGIE: Very good.

I see them over at
Daniel's clock right now.

KING FRIDAY: Fine.

Well, you may come
with me Mayor Maggie.

MAYOR MAGGIE: To the B Room!

KING FRIDAY: To the B Room!

DANIEL: Wow you're really
good at that Tuesday.

PRINCE TUESDAY: It's fun to do.

But would you show Neighbor
Aber your favorite trick?

DANIEL: Oh, it's not
a very fancy trick.

PRINCE TUESDAY: But it's yours.

DANIEL: Do you want to see my
little trick, Neighbor Aber?

NEIGHBOR ABER: Oh, I surely do.

DANIEL: OK, cover your eyes.

PRINCE TUESDAY: OK.

DANIEL: You ready?

NEIGHBOR ABER: Ready.

DANIEL: Are you ready?

Cover your eyes.

OK, you can look now.

NEIGHBOR ABER: Where's Daniel?

PRINCE TUESDAY:
That's his trick.

NEIGHBOR ABER: He can disappear?

PRINCE TUESDAY: Yes.

NEIGHBOR ABER: But
can he come back?

PRINCE TUESDAY: Oh sure.

Just cover your eyes again.

NEIGHBOR ABER: OK.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Ok, Daniel,
you can come back now.

DANIEL: Here I am.

NEIGHBOR ABER:
What a great trick.

Oh, hi Mayor Maggie.

Is she part of the trick too?

DANIEL: Oh, oh no.

Hi Mayor Maggie.

MAYOR MAGGIE: Greetings
to all of you.

I'm sounding like the king.

NEIGHBOR ABER: How
was your meeting?

MAYOR MAGGIE: It
was fine, but short.

I told the King about
Prince Tuesday's yoyo-ing,

and he wants to
see it right away.

KING FRIDAY: The
king is waiting.

NEIGHBOR ABER: I
guess we'd better go.

PRINCE TUESDAY: See
you later Daniel.

NEIGHBOR ABER: Thanks
for your trick Daniel.

DANIEL: Oh you're
welcome, any time.

KING FRIDAY: Assembled the
subjects and son, I presume?

ALL: Correct as
usual, King Friday.

Now what is this about
the yo-yoing, Tuesday?

PRINCE TUESDAY: Oh, it just
comes naturally to me Daddy.

KING FRIDAY: You
may show me son.

Very well.

I shall do it.

NEIGHBOR ABER: Here, I'll
help you take it off, Tuesday.

Give it to your dad.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Thank you.

KING FRIDAY: Yes
well, now are you

all prepared to see
a king do a yo-yo?

Yes, very well.

We shall begin.

Fanfare please.

MAYOR MAGGIE: That's what always
happens to me King Friday.

KING FRIDAY: But,
I am the big king,

and Tuesday is
the little prince.

I can't understand the
disparity in this performance.

MAYOR MAGGIE: It's
Tuesday's natural ability.

KING FRIDAY: Enough said.

I shall make the
following decree.

Yo-yos are outlawed in this
Neighborhood of Make Believe.

NEIGHBOR ABER: No yo-yos here?

KING FRIDAY: That's
what I'm saying.

PRINCE TUESDAY: But
Daddy, it's fun.

KING FRIDAY: No buts about it.

No yo-yos here.

Here take this Tuesday
and dispose of it.

MR. ROGERS: Just because King
Friday couldn't yo-yo well,

he said nobody could
play with them.

That's just not fair is it?

Just because he couldn't do it
doesn't mean that other people

shouldn't have some
good times with them.

Oh well, we'll make believe
more about that the next time.

Daniel's clock.

Oh, there's somebody
at the door.

Maybe it's Marilyn Barnett
coming back with the yo-yo.

Oh no, its Mr. McFeely.

MR. MCFEELY: Here's
the tape you wanted,

How People Make Wooden Yo-yos.

MR. ROGERS: Oh I'm so glad,
because I wanted to show them.

I've been using yo-yos Can
you stay and watch it with us?

MR. MCFEELY: I wish I could,
but I'm extra busy today.

However, this
paper will tell you

about what you're seeing
when you watch it.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, I see.

So as we watch this
I'll read this.

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

And after you've watched
it, open this bag.

There's something
inside for you keep.

MR. ROGERS: Thank you very much.

Well there's lots to do.

You must be very busy.

MR. MCFEELY: Very busy.

And I'll pick this up some
other day when I come back,

and I'll say that day.

Alright?

MR. ROGERS: Very good.

MR. MCFEELY: Bye bye.

MR. ROGERS: Thanks Mr. McFeely.

MR. MCFEELY: You're welcome.

MR. ROGERS: Well, he's
given us an assignment.

Show this tape and read this,
and then open this afterwards.

Alright.

How People Make Wooden Yo-yos
Let's watch it together.

How People Make Wooden Yo-yos

When people make
wooden yo-yos they

start with long pieces of wood.

This wood is being made into
yo-yos that look like flowers.

So the man puts it
through this machine

that shapes the edges to look
like the petals of a flower.

Then he takes those
long pieces of wood

over to this woman, who puts
each one in this machine, which

slices them into
pieces that will

become the sides of the yo-yo.

The machine cuts the wood
into just the right size.

She has to work very carefully.

This man uses a
drill to make a hole

in the middle of
the yo-yo piece.

The hole doesn't go all
the way through the wood.

See it goes just that far,
not through the other side.

He needs to wear special
glasses to protect his eyes.

This person takes
the yo-yo parts

to the painting
area, where each one

is going to be painted yellow.

This woman attaches the
yo-yo parts to pegs,

and they travel on to
the painting machine.

As the parts move and spin
around the sprayer paints them.

Can you see the paint
coming out of the sprayer?

Each one gets spray painted.

This woman checks to be
sure that the painting is

just right.

The yo-yo parts
keep moving around

the machine in a circle
as the paint dries.

And after they've gone
all the way around,

the same woman takes the dried
yo-yo parts off the machine

and puts them on a tray.

It's like cookies.

And next, this woman fits
a peg into the center hole.

It's called an axle.

The axle is what
holds the string

and it also holds the two
sides of the yo-yo together.

It's time to add the string.

And a thin pointed
piece of metal

helps this woman to make a
circle out of the string,

and then she loops
it over the axle.

Now this woman takes the piece
with the axle and the string

and presses the top
piece of the yo-yo on it.

See how that works?

And finally this person winds
the string around the axle,

and the yo-yo is ready
for people to enjoy.

And that's how people
make wooden yo-yos

Isn't that interesting?

So many people to make such a
little thing as a wooden yo-yo.

Oh, now we can
take a look at what

Mr. McFeely brought in the bag.

What do you suppose
might be in here?

Just what we've seen
the people make.

Isn't that nice?

I wonder if I
could do any better

with this one than my other one.

Nope.

So it's not the yo-yo,
it's the practice.

Marilyn.
MARILYN BARNETT: Hi Fred.

MR. ROGERS: Did you find him?
MARILYN BARNETT: Yes.

He really yo-yos well too.

Fred, this is Evan Minnick.

MR. ROGERS: Glad
to meet you, Evan.

I'd like to see what you
can do with the yo-yo.

I'm told that you do
good things with it?

Can I see what you do?

EVAN MINNICK: Sure, this
is called Fly to the Moon.

MR. ROGERS: Oh my,
isn't that wonderful.

And you just go that.

How did you ever get
started doing the yo-yo?

EVAN MINNICK: Well, my friend
he just played yo-yo in school.

So I just started
playing with him.

MR. ROGERS: So you
have lots of friends

who like to yo-yo together?

EVAN MINNICK: Yeah.

MR. ROGERS: Oh,
that's wonderful.

Well I want you to
know that I have tried

and let me show
you with this one.

MARILYN BARNETT: Evan
knows I've tried too.

He's still teaching me.

He's a good teacher.

MR. ROGERS: I wonder
if it's this string.

How long is the
string supposed to be?

EVAN MINNICK: It's
up to your waist.

MR. ROGERS: From your
waist to the ground?

Is that it?

OK.

Well maybe you should
actually do it?

MARILYN BARNETT: Well,
I'm just now learning.

And help me out again.

EVAN MINNICK: It should
be on the middle finger.

MARILYN BARNETT: On
my middle finger.

That's right,
sometimes I forget.

MR. ROGERS: So it's this
finger, not this finger.

MARILYN BARNETT: Is that right?

It seems like it's
a little twisted.

EVAN MINNICK: Turn it over.

Now make a muscle.

MARILYN BARNETT:
Is it tight enough?

EVAN MINNICK: Now make a muscle.

When you bring your hand down,
down here, you snap your wrist

and let go.

MARILYN BARNETT: Hear
what he's saying?

MR. ROGERS: Good
for you Marilyn.

MARILYN BARNETT: I'm trying.

Show him something else.

EVAN MINNICK: Ok,
this is called "Yo."

MR. ROGERS: What's it called?
EVAN MINNICK: "Yo."

MR. ROGERS: "Yo."

Oh look, a Y and an O. I've
heard that there are people who

can make it look like
you're rocking a baby.

Can you do that?

MARILYN BARNETT: He can do that.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, is that great.

What's another of
your favorites?

EVAN MINNICK: Sleeping Beauty.

MARILYN BARNETT: Look at that.

It spins.

MR. ROGERS: That's
really beautiful.

Have you always liked
to do the yo-yo?

MARILYN BARNETT:
He's really good.

He works so hard at it.

MR. ROGERS: I can imagine.

Maybe you'd like to try
this one as well, would you?

I'll roll it up for you.

EVAN MINNICK: Thank you.

MR. ROGERS: It's a matter
of getting your finger

right in the right
place, isn't it?

MARILYN BARNETT: See, he
knows what he's doing.

MR. ROGERS: So you teach some
things and he teaches others.

MARILYN BARNETT: That's right.

MR. ROGERS: He's
doing two at a time.

MARILYN BARNETT: Right
hand and left hand.

We'd better get back.

We're kind of
running out of time.

MR. ROGERS: You off to school?

MARILYN BARNETT: Yes we are.

MR. ROGERS: Thanks
so much Marilyn.

You bring us the best
people and the best things.

So glad to meet you Evan.

I wish you well in
all that you do.

MARILYN BARNETT: Can
he keep this one?

MR. ROGERS: That's for you,
sure, if you'd like to have it.

Consider it from
Mr. McFeely to you.

MARILYN BARNETT: Thank you.

Bye.

MR. ROGERS: Oh isn't
that something.

Like this and like
that, a lot of practice.

Everybody has different talents.

Some may seem very big,
like Evans, you know,

doing the yo-yos
all over the place.

And others, like Daniel's
disappearing trick

in the Neighborhood of
Make Believe, remember?

He said "close your eyes."

And then he went away.

And then he told people
to open their eyes,

and then he came back.

Pretty much like hide
and seek, isn't it?

Do you ever play hide
and seek or peekaboo?

Well you know, some talents are
little, some talents are big,

but the most important thing
is that everybody's talent

is important.

It gives me such a good
feeling to think that you're

using whatever talents you
have to help other people.

That's what really matters.

[MUSIC PLAYING] 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 want to talk about.

I will do.

You always make it a
special day for me.

You know how?

By just your being yourself.

I'll be back next time.
