Emily elizabeth:
"jorge and the dog run."
Here I am, jorge!
Over here! I'm open!
I'm wide open!
All right, buddy!
Here it comes!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
[Weakly]
got it.
Hey! Ha ha!
Boy, that was
a nice catch.
Hey, jorge,
do you remember
the first time
We ever played
dog ball together?
Hmm. I'm not sure.
Oh, I do.
It was on my very first day
at the dog run.
You're going to love playing
at the dog run, clifford.
There's lots of room
at the park
For you to run around
and dig and swim.
And you're going to make
all kinds of new friends.
[Grunting]
Clifford, that can't
fit in the backpack.
Besides, aren't you
bringing enough as it is?
[Woof woof]
Here. I've got
something else we can pack:
A snack in case
you get hungry, ok?
[Woof]
[Grunts]
Hiya, norville.
Guess what?
Emily elizabeth is
taking me to the dog run
For the very first time!
Oh, wow.
Wowie zowie.
The dog run.
Good for you, kid.
And you're
not even nervous.
Nervous?
Why should I be nervous?
Well...
You won't know
anybody there at first,
But, hey, it'll be fine.
You know--you know,
it'll be a blast.
Yeah.
I guess
I won't know anyone
at the dog run.
Mom: emily elizabeth!
Clifford! Time to leave!
[Nervously]
well, uh, I guess
I have to go now.
Bye, norville.
Oh, yeah, hey, uh,
have a good time
there, clifford.
Look, clifford.
We're almost there.
Well...
You won't know
anybody there at first.
[Whimpers]
[Dogs barking]
Wow. Just look
at how much fun
all the dogs are having.
Go on, clifford.
Why don't you go
and make some new friends?
So what do I do now?
I love digging!
Maybe that dog
wants some help.
Whoa-oh-oh!
[Coughs]
Hiya.
[Coughs]
Oh, well. I tried.
[Woof]
Clifford,
look how dirty you are.
[Woof woof]
It's not time
to go home yet,
clifford.
You just got here.
Why don't you
go play some more?
Get ready, dog run!
Here comes clifford!
Ha ha!
Hi.
Hello there!
[Spits]
my name's clifford!
[Coughs]
That looks like...
[Coughs]
Fun!
H-h-hello?
Uh, hi.
[Coughs]
Uh, I'm
clifford.
Today's...
My...
First...
Day...
Here.
[Sighs]
Well...
I think that's
enough swimming
for today.
It was nice
talking to you.
Whoa!
[Coughs]
Whoa.
Uh, hey,
do you need
some help?
Uh, sure.
My name's jorge.
Oh, I'm clifford.
Well, it's nice
to meet you, clifford.
That's a cool hole
that you made.
Oh, thanks.
I really dig
digging holes.
Really? Me, too!
Oh, and I love
burying stuff.
So do i!
Oh, hey, uh,
Either of you
wanna come play
dog ball with us?
Oh, sure!
Yeah, I'll play.
How about you, clifford?
Um...sure?
All right, buddy!
Hey, maybe you and I
can be on the same team.
Uh, ok, now,
you two can be on my team,
And, uh, you two
can be on that team.
Psst! Hey, clifford.
When I get the ball,
I'm gonna pass it
to you, ok?
So be ready.
Well, um...ok.
[Whistles]
Clifford!
Come on!
Pass it, clifford!
Hey, what's he doing?
[Dogs groan]
Hey, if you
can't play dog ball,
Then maybe
you should go play
something else.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm not sure I heard
what you said just then.
Were you talking to me?
Nuh-uh.
I was talkin'
to this dog,
You know,
the little red guy.
Oh, you mean
my buddy clifford.
Well, see, if you're
not being nice to clifford,
Then you're
not being nice to me.
Get it?
Oh. Oh, yeah.
I'm sorry.
Uh, maybe I'll
just go get that
ball now. See ya!
Thanks, jorge.
Oh, of course.
Friends gotta look out
for each other, clifford.
Really?
I mean,
you're my friend?
Well, sure!
So why did you hit
the ball way over there?
Well, i--
Oh, I've never
actually played
dog ball before.
I don't
know how to play.
Oh!
[Laughs]
Why didn't you
just say so?
I'll teach you.
Come on.
Ok, you see
those two trees?
Uh-huh.
That's the goal.
We try to get the ball
right through there.
[Whistles]
Hey!
Nice going, clifford!
You ready, clifford?
Ready!
Got it!
Whoa!
[All talking at once]
Oh!
Whoo-hoo!
That was amazing!
Oh, great sh*t,
clifford!
Wow. That
was a nice sh*t.
Aw, thanks.
Wow. That little guy
was great after all,
huh?
Wow. Not too bad
for your first time,
clifford.
Yeah, thanks, jorge.
You were great, too.
Ah, well.
It was nothing.
Hey, you know,
I'm kind of hungry.
Do you wanna
have a snack together?
You know,
I don't have
a snack today.
My owner nina
forgot to pack one.
Oh, that's ok,
Because if I got a snack,
Then you got a snack.
Got it?
Oh, thanks, clifford.
Thanks for sharing
your snack, clifford.
You really
didn't have to.
Yeah, well, I wanted to.
I like to share
with my friends.
[Chomps]
Nina: jorge,
it's time to leave!
[Gasps]
that's nina.
I gotta go,
clifford.
Well, bye, jorge.
Thanks for showing me
how to play dog ball.
Bye!
Emily elizabeth:
clifford!
It's time to go.
[Woof woof]
[Barks]
Oh!
Clifford?
[Gasps] jorge.
What are you
doing here?
Well,
I'm looking for my ball
So I can play
more dog ball.
What are you doing here?
This is where I live.
You live in this building?
I live in this building!
Whoa! That means
we both live in
the same building.
Wow! I guess we do.
See? That's my owner
emily elizabeth
Right over there.
Hey, I wonder who
she's talking to.
That's nina.
She's my owner.
Hi, I'm nina,
And that's
my dog jorge.
My name's emily elizabeth,
and that's my puppy clifford.
Hey, it looks like
our dogs are friends.
So that was the day
we became friends.
And so did nina
and emily elizabeth.
Yup. That was
a pretty great day,
huh, buddy?
Ha ha! It sure was.
[Both laugh]
[Woof]
Emily elizabeth: clifford,
where are you, boy?
[Woof woof]
Wanna read a story,
clifford?
[Woof]
Ok. Pick one out.
Ha ha.
Thanks, clifford.
This looks like
a great story.
[Squeak]
Today's story is
"speckle and the homemade toys."
"It was a great morning,
"Because speckle and his friends
had gotten together to play,
"But soon they realized
"That none of them had brought
a game or a toy to play with.
"They wondered,
what were they going to do?
"Until speckle said they could
use their imaginations
"And make their own toys.
"That was a great idea!
"And off they went to see
what toys they could create.
"Reba was so inspired,
"She went right out
and gathered acorns
"Just the right size
for a game of jacks.
"Working together,
darnell and luna made
"An extra-long daisy chain
to use as a jump rope.
"Then ravi and speckle found
that a soft, plastic lid
"Was perfect
for throwing through the air
"Like a flying disc.
"Now the g*ng had
a brand-new question:
Which wonderful homemade toy
should they play with first?"
The end.
I love
reading stories together.
You know, clifford,
For such a small dog,
You sure are a big reader!
[Woof]
"Clifford's club house."
There was
no time to think.
The pressure was on.
Bailey
the bionic bird
Had to rescue
the baby robin.
So he swooped
to the left,
And then he swooped
to the right,
And then he flew
right down off
the bridge--
Uh-oh. Did I mention
there was a snowstorm?
Oh! Not
a snowstorm!
Yes, a snowstorm,
And then at
the very last second,
He reached down...
All: and? And?
And bailey lifted
that baby robin
right up
And carried her
back to the nest.
Oh, yeah.
Whew.
You tell the best
stories, norville.
I don't know how
you think them up.
Oh, yeah.
That was amazing.
What? That?
Oh, yeah. Well,
you know, that's nothing.
I got a lot of stories.
[Gasps]
jorge, look!
Emily elizabeth
and nina are
home from school.
[Barking happily]
[Laughs]
hi, clifford.
How was
your day?
[Woof woof]
Hola, jorge.
[Woof woof]
We had
a good day, too.
Nina and I joined
The superstar
readers club
at school.
[Laughs] it's going
to be so much fun.
Have you picked
the book you're going
to read for this week?
I'm trying to decide
between two
Will you come
up to my room
and help me pick?
Sure! And we can
paint a big sign
to hang in the library
So everyone knows
where our club meets.
[Gasps] and snacks!
Emily elizabeth,
we have to take snacks!
Let's ask my mom
if she'll help us
pop popcorn.
Wow! Being in a club
sure sounds like fun.
Oh, you bet.
You know what?
We should have a club.
Yeah!
What kind of club?
Well, how about
a story club?
[Gasps]
a story club!
Yeah! A story club!
Both: what's a story club?
It's a club where
we all get together
And tell
each other stories.
But we already
do that.
Flo's right.
We do.
That's not
a club.
It would be a club
if we had snacks.
[Licks lips]
Snacks are good,
but we need a name, too.
A club has to have a name.
How about
the superstars
storytellers' club?
Oh, I like it!
Oh, I like
that, too.
Me, too.
So, what do
we do next?
Next, we need
a clubhouse.
Do you know
where we can
find a clubhouse?
Hey, I'm
way ahead of you,
itty-bitty red.
It doesn't look like
much of a clubhouse to me.
Me, either.
What's so special
about this place?
Well, first of all,
Cookies and crackers
always fall through
the slats above.
Oh!
[Licks lips]
I take it back.
This spot
is perfect.
And secondly,
These leaves make it
very nice and cozy
In case someone wants to take
a little after-story nap.
[Yawns]
It is
kind of comfy.
Why don't you tell us
a story, norville?
All right.
Let me tell you a story
about the two sweetest,
Most intelligent cats
in the city.
Both: hmm.
What are their names?
Well, their names
are, uh--
Their names
are flo and zoe.
Oh, this is
a good story!
I have a feeling it's going
to be one of my favorites.
Well, once upon a time--
[Rumbling and shouting]
What?!
We won't be able
to hear the story.
It's too loud.
What?!
I said we won't be able
to hear the story!
It's too loud here!
I'm sorry.
I can't
hear you!
It's too loud!
Do you know any
other places, norville?!
Plenty! Don't worry
about a thing!
Just follow me!
At least this one
seems quiet.
But there's no roof.
I think a clubhouse
needs a roof.
Well, maybe,
But look at
what it does have.
Benches?
Not benches. Stages.
Perfect for
you two to act out
Your amazing
little stories.
Like if we told stories
about the famous
super santa cat.
Shiver me timbers.
We need to find
a treasure map
first.
Aye aye, matey.
Super santa cat
will lead the way.
What was that?
A lot of hot air.
Ok, this is not
going to work.
Next.
Oh, have no fear.
I've saved
the best for last.
See? It's far enough
from the playground
So that noise
isn't a worry.
Important if you have
sensitive ears like mine.
Terrific!
Norville: and there's
another pair of benches
Where you two can
act out your stories.
[Laughs] I think
it's perfect, norville.
[Clicking]
What...
Is...
That...
Noise?
All: sprinklers!
Aah!
Norville,
do you know
of any other places?
You know, maybe we're
being just a little
too picky here.
It seems like one of
these places could work.
The first was too loud.
The second
was too windy.
And the last
was too wet.
They're right, norville.
We need a different place.
I got an idea.
There's that game room
down by the laundry.
I know that room.
It's very quiet.
And very dry.
And not
too windy.
And it has plenty
of space to store food.
[Licks lips]
It's perfect.
But that--that place
is no good.
I--i won't be able to--
Are you kidding?
The game room
sounds wonderful.
Zoe: great idea,
clifford.
But what about
the courtyard?
Well, we could try
by the birdbath.
We tried
the courtyard.
I think
the game room
would be better.
Agreed?
Well, then i--
I have to tell
you something.
I don't want
to be in your club.
Oh, he just
doesn't want
to be in the club
Because
he's not choosing
the clubhouse.
Hey, that's not fair.
I like clifford's idea.
So do i.
Me, too.
Hey, you know what?
That's just great.
I hope that you
have a lot of fun
in your silly club.
Norville!
Nor--
it's ok, clifford.
Let him go.
If he's only
going to be happy
if he gets his way,
Then we're
better off without him.
Oh...i guess so.
This is great,
clifford.
It's delicious.
[Gulps] arrgghh.
Now, who's going
to tell the first story?
Hmm...gee,
Norville's usually
the first one
to tell a story.
Yeah. He does know
a lot of them.
I wish he was
still in the club.
But norville said
he didn't want to be
in the club anymore.
I don't understand.
He sure acted
like he wanted
to be in the club...
Until we decided
to come down here.
Maybe he'll
change his mind if
we go talk to him about it.
Hmm. What do you think?
All: sure! Yeah!
Oh, it'll be great.
I mean, all
norville has to do
Is fly right in, and--
Oh--fly...right...
In...and...
Uh-oh.
That's the problem.
That's why norville
wouldn't join.
Why?
There's
no way for him
to fly in here.
Ohh! I had no idea.
Why didn't
he say something?
Oh, I think he tried.
But I don't think
we were very good
listeners.
Oh, poor norville.
We didn't even give him
a chance to explain.
We got
to go find him.
Norville?
Norville?
Uh, you know,
e-excuse me.
I'm very busy here.
Uh--uh--uh,
no time to talk.
Norville, would you
please join our club?
Uh, no.
I'm really fine
right here, thank you.
But you're alone.
And we found
a new clubhouse.
Yeah? Well, thanks,
but no, thanks.
I am fine.
It's even got
a special perch...
Just for you.
It--it's got
a special perch?
And it's in a place that's
easy for you to fly to.
Well...
Hmm.
At least i--i think
I could just,
like, check it out,
you know?
But not that I'm going
to say anything--
Like I'm not going
to join or anything.
I'm not going
to say that right now.
[Yawns] ok,
you can count me in.
Oh, we should
have realized
That you couldn't
fly into the game room.
And we're
also really sorry
We didn't give you
a chance to explain
What was
bothering you.
We really didn't
mean to hurt
your feelings.
Oh--oh...
Okey-dokey,
artichokey.
Yeah, uh--uh,
apology accepted.
And the next time
something's
bothering me,
I'm going to be
very sure to tell
you all right away.
And we promise
to listen.
So, norville,
Will you tell
the club's
first story?
Ok. Sure.
It's called "the world's
greatest clubhouse."
So, once upon a time,
Emily elizabeth
and nina joined
The superstar
readers club
at school...
[Woof]
Emily elizabeth:
it's always fun
to play with your friends.
Uhh!
Good kick, jorge.
[All laughing and shouting]
Throw it over here,
clifford.
No, over here.
Uhh!
Emily elizabeth:
but sometimes when you play,
It's not so much fun
for someone else.
Shh. The little ones
are asleep, clifford.
Papa mouse: I'm afraid
all of this noise
will wake them up.
Emily elizabeth:
when that happens,
It's time to show
some respect.
[Whispering]
we're sorry,
mr. Sidarski.
We forgot it was
their nap time.
Hey. Why don't we
take the game outside?
[Laughing and shouting]
Oh! Playing out here's
a lot more fun.
Having respect
isn't hard at all.
Emily elizabeth: clifford
and his friends know
That being considerate
of others is really easy,
And it can make
a big difference.
That's why clifford's idea
to grow on for today
Is have respect.
