Emily elizabeth:

[Barking]
[Laughs]
That's right, clifford.
It's laundry day.
We just have to finish
filling up the basket.
Then we can all go down
to the laundry room,
okay, boy?
[Barks]
Hey, clifford, I've got
something to show you.
Ho ho! A new ball!
Not just
any new ball.
It's a zippy ball.
Check this out.
[Laughs]
wow!
That's crazy!
Oh, si.
It's muy loco.
Hey, you want to go down
to the game room
and play with it?
Well, right now I'm going
to the laundry room
with emily elizabeth,
But I can meet you
in the game room later.
Sounds good
to me, pal.
Oh! Uh-oh! Fast!
Whoa!
Oops. I better go.
Adios, clifford.
[Barking]
Okay, clifford.
We're ready!
Ah. There.
That does it.
Where's clifford?
He's still
playing.
Clifford, we're
going upstairs now.
Don't forget
to come home
for lunch!
[Barking]
[Barks]
Hello,
clifford!
Hiya, mrs. Sidarsky.
It's so nice to see you.
Would you like to come in
and visit?
Oh, sure.
Where are all
the little sidarskys?
Oh, they're all off
playing somewhere.
Clifford!
Hi there,
lewis.
Clifford, clifford!
Can I ride on your back?
Huh? Huh? Huh?
Oh, sure you can.
Hop on.
[Laughs]
yippee!
Again, again!
Come on! Come on!
Faster, clifford!
Faster, faster!
[Laughs]
all right, lewis.
That's enough.
Clifford isn't here to be
your personal pony ride.
Okay,
mom.
Thank you, clifford.
You know how lewis loves
to play with you.
Oh, I like playing
with him, too.
Usually when I hang out
with my friends,
I'm the youngest.
It's great to be
the oldest for a change.
Hey, clifford,
want a piece of cheese?
Want to see
my button collection?
Clifford, clifford.
Want to play
hide-and-seek?
Huh? Huh? Huh?
Hide-and-seek?
That sounds like fun!
But, you know, there
aren't too many places
I can hide in here.
Well, we can play
in the laundry room.
Come on.
Uh, let's ask
your mom first.
Um, is it okay
if we play hide-and-seek
outside of your house?
Certainly, clifford,
as long as you keep
an eye on lewis.
Oh, I will.
[Laughs]
great! Let's go!
Let's go!
Your turn, clifford.
Hide, hide!
Oh.
Gee, lewis.
I think we've run out
of places to hide.
I know a good place
you can hide:
behind the dryer.
Oh, that is a good
hiding place, lewis,
But now that you already know
I'm going to hide there...
Oh, right.
Oh! I know!
Let's go over
to the game room!
Oh, yeah,
the game room!
Great.
There are all kinds
of fun things
to play in there.
Come on,
let's go!
Whee!
[Laughs]
[Laughs]
that was funny!
[Laughs]
Wow, clifford.
You're great.
I'll bet you
can do anything.
Well, I wouldn't
say anything.
Hey, clifford's
here already.
Hi, guys.
I've been playing
some games with lewis.
Hey, little amigo!
Hi, lewis!
Hi.
So, clifford,
you're ready to
play zippy ball?
Uh...
I don't think so.
Well, why not?
It's fun.
Uh, oops!
I think zippy ball is
too dangerous for lewis.
Maybe I'll play
with you guys later.
Okay, amigo.
Come on, you guys.
So, lewis, how about
a game of simon says?
Okay.
I'll start.
Simon says...
Touch your nose.
Ha! Good!
Now simon says,
rub your head!
Wave your paw.
[Laughs]
I didn't say,
"simon says."
Oh...
Yay!
Hooray!
I got it,
I got it, I got it!
Over here,
over here!
Oh, boy.
That looks like fun.
Uh, now,
where were we?
Simon says,
simon says.
Uh, right.
Uh...
Simon says,
stand on one leg.
[Laughter]
yippee!
[Laughter]
Oh, boy.
That looks really fun.
Uh...clifford?
Oh, yeah.
Uh, sorry, lewis.
You can put
your leg down now.
But...
But...aah!
You didn't say,
"simon says."
Hooray!
Yay! I got it!
Hey, lewis,
I have a good idea.
Why don't you sit on
this bench for a while
And watch me play
zippy ball
with my friends?
But i--i thought
you were playing with me.
Oh, uh,
I am, lewis.
You see, the game
will only take
a few minutes,
And then I'll be
right back
to play with you.
Okay, i...guess.
Besides, watching me play
will be really fun for you.
It will?
Oh,
sure it will.
[Laughs]
guys, guys!
Here I come!
Heh!
Hey, guys!
I'm ready
to play now!
Okay,
amigo.
The trick is to keep
the ball from
hitting the wall.
Here we go.
[Laughter]
Uh, I'm not having fun.
[Laughs]
[Grunts]
Whoa!
Good save, clifford!
Ha! Now that
was a good game.
Yeah! Let's play
another one.
[Panting]
I'm a little tired.
Oh, come on.
Just one more game?
Okay, buddy.
[Laughter]
This isn't any fun.
This is boring.
[Laughs]
[Grunts]
Clifford: yay!
Let's play again.
I'm getting
hungry.
Me, too.
Hmm. I wouldn't mind
a little lunch myself.
Uh, okay.
Maybe we can play
some more after lunch.
Hey, clifford,
what happened to
your little friend?
Who?
[Gasps]
oh! Lewis!
Uh! Lewis!
Oh! Oh,
where did he go?
I don't see him.
Oh! Oh, no!
I was supposed to keep an eye
on lewis, and now he's gone!
Oh! Please help me
look for him!
Lewis! Lewis!
Oh, don't worry.
He's probably fine.
Oh, no,
you don't understand!
Lewis is
younger than me,
And I was supposed
to watch out for him.
Oh, I'd better tell
mrs. Sidarsky
that lewis is missing.
Lewis: [sighs]
Uh, lewis?
[Gasps]
lewis!
I've been looking
all over for you.
How come you left
the game room?
Well, you said
watching you play
zippy ball would be fun,
And it wasn't.
Oh, it wasn't?
Uh-uh. It was
really, really boring,
And besides, you were with
all of your older friends,
And I could tell you liked
playing with them more than
you liked playing with me.
Oh, no,
that's not
true, lewis.
I really did have fun
playing with you today.
Hide-and-seek
was a blast!
Then how come
you left me?
Well,
I shouldn't have.
I'm sorry,
lewis.
I know what it's like
to be overlooked
when you're the youngest.
It happens to me
all the time.
It does?
Well, sure.
Oh, I should have
known better.
Ahh, you're
a good friend,
And if I'd been
a good friend, I would
have stayed with you.
I'm really sorry.
That's okay,
clifford.
Lewis, from now on,
any time you want
to play a game,
You can count
on me. Deal?
Deal.
Lewis, time for lunch!
Hey, maybe after lunch,
we can play some more
hide-and-seek.
Wow!
That'd be great!
I have the best
new hiding place.
It's inside the--
Whoa!
Oh, wait, lewis.
Remember, if you tell me
where you're going to hide,
Then I'll know
where to find you.
Oh.
[Laughs]
Right, I remember.
I'll save it
for the game.
Now, how about I give you
a pony ride to lunch?
Huh? Hop on!
Thanks,
clifford.
No problem.
That's what
friends are for.
Now let's
get lunch!
Come on!
Giddyap!
Giddyap!
[Laughter]
[Barks]
Emily elizabeth: clifford!
Where are you, boy?
[Barks]
Want to read
a story, clifford?
[Barks]
Okay.
Pick one out.
[Giggles]
thanks, clifford.
This looks like
a great story.
[Toy squeaks]
Emily: today's story is
"speckle and the made-up rules."
"One afternoon, speckle
invited all his friends over.
"He had a new board game,
and couldn't wait to share it.
"But when they opened the box,
they couldn't find any rules,
"And no one knew how to play.
"Then speckle had a great idea.
"The group could make up
their own rules for the game."
[Cheering]
"Ravi spun a 3,
So he had to make the funniest
face he possibly could."
[Laughter]
"And when speckle landed
on a green square,
His challenge was to juggle."
[Emily elizabeth giggling]
"or at least try to.
"It was so much fun, they played
for the rest of the afternoon,
"Enjoying the rules and the game
that they all made up together.
The end."
I love reading
stories together.
You know,
clifford,
For such a small dog,
you sure are
a big reader.
[Barks]
Emily elizabeth:
"tricky business."
These flowers
are so pretty, mom.
Thanks. My garden club
is planting them at the
community gardens today.
Evan will be over soon
to stay with you
while I'm gone.
Great!
Do you see my
other garden glove,
emily elizabeth?
No.
Wait!
There it is!
[Barking]
[Laughter]
Oh, no!
Clifford's disappeared!
Thank you,
clifford.
[Barking]
[Doorbell rings]
[Gasps]
that must be evan.
Coming!
Good day, mrs. Howard.
Evan the magnificent,
at your service.
Oh, evan!
You look just like
a real magician.
Huh! Well, I am
a real magician.
Allow me
to demonstrate.
Abracadabra,
alakazair.
Let this wand now
float in air.
Ta-da!
Very good!
Wow!
How did you do that?
Easy.
I'm a magician,
And I know a lot
more tricks, too.
Well, do come in,
mr. Magician.
Oh, you just have
to show me every
trick you know.
Can I hold
your wand?
Sure.
I've never seen
a magician's wand
up close before.
This is so cool!
Can nina come over
and watch you do
some tricks, too?
Of course.
[Barks]
You can watch,
too, clifford.
In fact, you can be
a part of the act.
What do you mean?
I can make clifford...
Disappear.
Oh...
[Barks]
Oh, don't do that.
Oh, don't worry.
I won't really
make him disappear.
It's just a trick.
[Barks]
Mom:
emily elizabeth,
Could you help me take
these things down
to the car, please?
Coming, mom!
I'll be right back.
Okay, I'll get started
setting up my magic tricks.
[Sniffing]
[Barks]
Heh! That's the beginning
of the disappearing dog
trick, clifford.
Now I wave my wand...
But, where is
my wand?
Emily elizabeth
must still have it.
I'll be
right back.
[Sniffing]
[Barking]
Okay, clifford,
I found my wand.
Abracadabra,
alakazeer.
Make this puppy
disappear!
Ta-da!
Whoa.
It worked.
The trick worked! Cool!
Clifford?
I wonder where he's
going in such a hurry.
Abracadabra,
alakadeer!
Now make the puppy
reappear!
Ta-da!
The puppy is back!
Uh-oh.
I guess I did do
the trick right.
Clifford!
Where are you, boy?
Clifford!
Are you in there?
Okay, evan, I'm ready
for some magic tricks.
Oh! Um,
well, uh, uh...
[Doorbell rings]
that must be nina.
I stopped by
her apartment
And invited her over
to see the show.
[Whispering]
clifford! Clifford,
where are you?
This is going
to be so
great, evan.
I love magic shows.
Me, too!
Uh-huh.
Well, uh, uh,
I'll do some magic tricks
for you in a little bit.
But first,
let's, um...
Well, uh...let's play
hide-and-seek.
Huh?
You go hide,
And I'll
count to 10.
No, 20.
No, no, 30.
Now I've got
to find clifford.
Clifford? Clifford?
Come on.
Where are you, boy?
Clifford!
[Whines]
[Barks]
Shh. We're playing
hide-and-seek, clifford.
We have to be really quiet
so evan doesn't find us.
[Whines]
Evan: clifford,
are you there?
Come on out.
Where are you?
[Sighs]
Where is evan?
Oh, man.
I can't find him
anywhere.
Where can he be?
I couldn't have really
made him disappear...
Could i?
Oh, my gosh!
What if I did really
make him disappear?
And what if he's
gone for good?
How could I ever tell
emily elizabeth?
I wonder why evan hasn't
found us yet, clifford.
Hmm. I never knew evan had
so much trouble with this game.
[Whines]
I couldn't have
made him disappear.
I must just not be using
the right words or something.
Hey, maybe my magic trick book
will tell me what to do.
Hmm...
Hey, evan!
Whoa!
Oh, sorry,
evan.
I didn't mean
to startle you.
I thought you were hiding,
emily elizabeth.
I thought you were
trying to find me.
Er...uh...i was
trying to find you.
I was trying really
hard to find you.
Okay, enough
hide-and-seek.
Let's see
some magic tricks
now, evan.
Right! We really want
to see some magic, evan.
Evan says he can even make
clifford disappear.
Really?
No, not really.
It's just a trick.
Cool!
Do that one, evan!
No!
I mean...that's
a really special trick,
So...
I always do it last.
First I'm going
to read your minds.
Evan: you go in the kitchen
and, uh, write down a number.
No. Write down
But--
And make them big numbers.
Big, long numbers.
Okay.
Big numbers.
Okay, now. I've got
to bring clifford back.
[Sighs]
I'll try some new words.
Alakazeem,
alakazifford.
Please bring back
sweet little clifford!
Bippity bop,
slickity slack.
Make the puppy
please come back!
Oh, please, oh, please,
just for me,
Please bring back
the cute little puppy.
Come on, top hat.
What did you do
with clifford?
Aw, nuts!
Okay, evan,
we wrote down
our numbers.
Let's see if
you can read
our minds.
Uh...uh, okay.
Uh, let's see.
Your numbers are...
[Sighs]
oh, listen,
emily elizabeth.
I really have
something to tell you.
I know, you're going
to tell me what numbers
I wrote down.
No, not that.
What is it, evan?
Well, you see,
I was practicing
my big trick,
The one where I make
clifford disappear.
Clifford was under the hat,
and I waved my wand
like this and said,
"Abracadabra,
alakazeer.
"Make this
puppy disappear!"
And when I
lifted the hat,
Clifford was gone.
I mean,
he was really gone.
I made him disappear,
and now I can't get him back.
[Giggling]
Aren't you upset?
[Barking]
Oh, clifford!
You're back!
He isn't back, evan.
He was never gone.
Yes, he was.
I made him disappear.
But that's
just a trick.
No one can really make
something disappear with magic.
Well, I know.
But...but when
I lifted the hat,
he was really gone.
Well, he must have
crawled out from under
the hat and gone outside.
I saw him running
down the hallway.
You did?
Oh.
Evan, why didn't
you just tell me
That you lost
clifford right away?
I could have told you
where he was.
Well, i--you...
[Sighs]
oh, you're right.
I should have
told you right away.
I guess I was afraid
you'd get mad.
You know, evan,
my mom always says
That the sooner
you tell the truth
and admit a mistake,
The sooner you can
start to fix it.
Your mom is
pretty smart, nina.
I'm really sorry,
emily elizabeth.
Well, I'm glad you
finally told me
the truth, evan.
Thanks.
[Barks]
[Laughter]
How did he do that?
Easy.
He's a magician.
[Barks]
Come on, I'll show you guys
the rest of my tricks.
Okay!
Great!
You can watch,
too, clifford.
Clifford?
Clifford?
[Barking]
[Giggles]
he really is
a magician!
[Laughter]
[Barks]
[Laughter]
Flo: ha ha!
Can't get me!
Zo: ow!
Oh, zo!
Are you okay?
What happened?
I just stubbed my toe,
that's all.
It's not really hurt
or anything.
It's just a little bit sore,
but I don't really feel
like running anymore.
You guys go ahead
and play without me.
Emily elizabeth: sometimes
the best way you can help
a friend is to be kind,
And that means being
considerate of their feelings.
Wait a minute!
I've got a big idea!
Instead of playing tag,
what do you say
we tell stories?
That way, everyone
can join in, even zo.
What a great idea!
Thanks, clifford.
I'm really happy
you found a way
to include me.
Emily elizabeth: when you
take the time to be kind,
You can help
a friend feel better.
That's why clifford's idea
to grow on for today
Is "be kind."
Okay, I've got one.
Once upon a time...
Oh, I love it
when they start
like that!
[Laughter]
