[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.

I'm glad we're
together again today.

There's something in this
bag I'd like you to see.

Do you know what this might be?

That's a latch hook rug.

It's not finished yet, but
Chef Brockett making it,

and he showed me how to-- to
use this latch hook, which

is what this is.

And so I'm going to try to
show you the way he taught me.

Now, you have just a little
piece of yarn like this.

And you put the latch hook
in a square like that.

And you put the
yarn around here.

And then it goes around
that, and then it

hooks it and brings
it up like that.

See that?

And every one of these
is done like that--

every one separately.

Think how long it must take
to make a rug like this.

Well, Chef Brockett has lots
of different kinds of rugs

at his bakery
today, and I wanted

you to see those different ones.

So let's just take
this one back to him

and go to Brockett's
Bakery right

now to see all of
his different rugs.

Come along.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Hello.

-Hi.

-Have a good day.

-You, too.

-Thank you.

-Senor Rogers.

Como estas?

-Muy bien, gracias.

Y usted?

-Muy bien, gracias.

-Good.

-Jose.

-Oh, there's Don.

-The order's almost ready
for the daycare home.

-OK, I'll take care of it.

-Hi Fred.

-Hi Don.

I just wanted you to see this.

A few things that I did on here.

I think they're right.

It's right in there.

-Yeah, it looks good.

You used the small
hook-- the latch hook.

-Yes.

-And the short piece of wool.

-Right.

-Now, in the rug display, I
have another kind of hook,

and I'll show you.

Come on over here.

-Yeah, I'd like to see.

-Now, see, this is
called a punch hook rug--

not a latch hook,
but a punch hook.

-A lot of rugs here.

-Now look here.

You use a long piece
of wool on this one.

-Oh, is this a different
kind of a needle?

-That's right.

That's a punch hook.

And look-- see the back here?

-Oh, this is the back of it?

-Yeah.

Wait until you see the front.

-Oh, that's beautiful
with the leaves and all.

CHEF BROCKETT: Uh huh.

On this kind, you have
one long piece of wool,

and then you go-- you
punch it in like this.

Hold the bottom a little bit.

And punch again.

Go in that way.

And so you just keep going with
one piece of wool instead--

that's right-- instead
of going one at a time

like you did with the other one.

All kinds of rugs in here.

-What's that kind?

-This one?

It's a rag rug.

-Rag?

-Yeah.

You just get all
kinds of old cotton

rags-- you try to get the most
colorful ones you can find--

and then you sew them together.

MISTER ROGERS: That is
beautiful, isn't it?

-Now, this one is a Kuba.

-Kuba.

-It's from Afghanistan.

-It's called an oriental rug?

-That's right, but
it's a special kind

of oriental called a
Kuba from Afghanistan.

Every one of these pieces of
fabric is knotted on the back.

Each one.

MISTER ROGERS: You mean by hand?
CHEF BROCKETT: By hand.

Tiny little knots.

And it will last forever.

-Must take a long
time to make it.

-Lots of work.

This is a braided rug.

What you do with this
one is you just take

three pieces of wool or
cotton, and you braid it.

And then when you get
a long piece of braid,

you start to sew it
around in an oval,

or you can sew it in a circle
if you want one to be round.

This is a shag rug here, but
it's not-- it's not handmade.

It's from a factory.

I've got to get back
over here to my place.

-All right.
-You look around, all right?

-Well, thank you.

-Oh, look at this one.

This has a picture of a
tree and some animals.

I think that's made
out of needlepoint.

This is a different kind of rug.

Where's Mister Rogers?

Peek-a-boo.

Interesting things.

Here's another one.

This says Lilihan on the back.

CHEF BROCKETT: That's
another oriental.

Now these--

-What about these?

-These aren't made by hand.

These are from a factory.

-Oh.

-They're good ones.

They'll last a while,
but they're-- they

come from a factory.

You know, I know a
mother and father

who work in the factory all day.

-You mean a rug factory?

-Yeah, in a rug factory.

And while they're there, they
send their child to the daycare

home, and that's
the daycare home

that we're doing the
order for over here.

-Oh.

That's interesting to know that.

So many different things
people do in this world.

-The order is ready.

-Oh, good, Jose.

[DOOR OPENING]

MR. MCFEELY: Speedy delivery.

CHEF BROCKETT: Hi Mr. McFeely.

-Good day.
MISTER ROGERS: Speedy delivery.

-You're just in
time, Mr. McFeely.

-Ah, thank you, Jose.

-It's for the daycare home.

-The daycare home.

Would you like to
go along with me?

-I would.

-OK, you can help me
with my deliveries today.

-Thank you, Mr. McFeely.

See you later.
-See you.

-Adios.

-Adios.

Bye bye.

-Speedy deliver to you.

Follow me.

-I will.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MR. MCFEELY: This is the place.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh, good.

-Now, that over
there-- the yard is

where they play when
they're outside.

The one with the
fence around it.

-I see.

That looks good and safe.

-It is.

Push the button here.

Oh, there's Mrs. Beasley.

-Hello, Mr. McFeely.

-Hi, Mrs. Beasley.

There's your delivery.

-All right.

Thank you.

-I'd like you to meet Fred
Rogers-- Mister Rogers.

-How do you do, Mrs. Beasley?

-How are you, Mister Rogers?

-Good, thank you.

-Do you think it'd be
all right if Mister

Rogers came in and
met the children?

-That would fine, thanks.

-Good.

-OK.

-Come along.

Let's go.

MRS. BEASLEY: Children, I have
a surprise for you this morning.

MISTER ROGERS: Hello.
MR. MCFEELY: Hi everybody.

-Hi.

-Mister Rogers and Mr.
McFeely-- Will, Lisa.

-Hi Lisa.

-Erica.

-Hi Erica.

-Daniel.

Lillian.

-Hi Lillian.

Glad to meet you.

What are you all playing now?

-Cars.

-You're playing cars?

CHILD: Yeah.

That's a Firebird.

MISTER ROGERS: Do
you all like to play

with the blocks and the cars?

CHILD: These are my cars.

I got more cars, though.

MISTER ROGERS: Do they seem
to like to build with blocks?

MRS. BEASLEY: Oh, yes.

They love to build.

They love to build
with the blocks.

MISTER ROGERS: And what
do you call this, Erica?

-A camera.

MISTER ROGERS: A camera?

You have a good imagination.

But you can build all kinds of
things with blocks, can't you?

ERICA: A house-- I can
go like this and this.

MISTER ROGERS: Did you come
here when you were real little?

-Mhm.

MISTER ROGERS: Did you?

Do you remember what it was
like when you first came?

-Mhm.

MISTER ROGERS: How did you feel?

-Kind of new.

MISTER ROGERS: Kind of new.

CHILD: I, um, feel
like I'm scared.

MISTER ROGERS: You feel
like you're scared at first?

And then what?

-Then I got used to it.

MISTER ROGERS: You
got used to it?

How did you get used to it?

-Because, um, when-- the
other day I started getting

used to it because I
liked playing with it.

MISTER ROGERS: You liked playing
at the daycare home, huh?

MRS. BEASLEY: All
right, children,

let's wash our
hands so we can have

this snack Mr.
McFeely brought us.

MR. MCFEELY: OK, right this way.

I'll help out.

I'll help wash hands here.

Right this way, everybody.

-Daniel, I know
you have to-- you

and your mother have
to leave, so would you

like to have a
cookie before you go?

-Would you like to take
a cookie for your trip?

-I think so.

We have to go.

-Here.

They're really not cookies.

They're oatmeal bars.

-OK.

Daniel.

-Daniel.

-Have one for each of you.

-Daniel.

-Here we go.

OK.

Would you like to come with me?

-Daniel, I'm glad
to have met you.

-I want to carry one for Billy.

-Carry one for Billy.

OK.

DANIEL: This one's Billy's.

-That one's Billy's.

Is Billy his brother?

-Yes.

-Oh, good.

You better have one
then for yourself.

-OK.

[LAUGHING]

Thank you very much.

-Glad to meet you.

-Thank you, Mister Rogers.

-Bye bye.

Is there anything I can do
to help you, Mrs. Beasley?

-Yes, if you'll just put three
oatmeal cookies and the napkins

on the tray, and
I'll get the cups.

-All right.

These oatmeal bars look good.

There.

You like being a daycare mother?

-Oh, yes, I love being
a daycare mother.

The children are so nice.

-Are they always happy, though?

-No, they're not always
happy when-- sometimes,

when they first come to me,
they cry after their mothers.

And I'll pick them up, and they
get all right after a while.

And they start playing and
mingling with the other kids.

And when they're
around other children,

they enjoy themselves so they
forget about mom for a while.

But then they know that
their mother's always

going to come pick
them up afterwards.

-Do your daycare children
ever call you Grandmother?

-Oh, they call me Granny.

-Do they?

-Yes, all of them
call me Granny.

MISTER ROGERS: And I
suppose you just gather them

up in your arms
whenever they need it.

-Yes, whenever they need
consoling or something,

they'll come and get up on my
lap-- and then at nap time,

I have to kiss each one of them.

MISTER ROGERS: Well, you have
a nap time every day, I guess?

-Yes.

We-- we have lunch,
and then after lunch,

everyone goes to the bathroom
and then they take their naps.

-Mhm.

-Well, we have the
cots over here.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh,
could I see one of them?

-I pulled the cots down for
them to take their naps on.

-Uh huh.

Oh.

That looks comfortable.

Does every daycare home
have cots exactly like this?

-Well, they're not exactly.

They're different colors.

-But very much
like this, I guess.

Now, does it matter which
child uses which cot?

-Each child has his own cot.

-Oh, each child has his own?

-Yes.

-Mhm.

Let me get this top.

-I'll put this on, too.

MR. MCFEELY: The snack?

The snack is a surprise.

Well, their hands
are all washed.

Anything else I can do to help?

-Oh, Mr. McFeely.

-Yes.

You can take the tray.

-All right.

I'll do that.

-Should I bring the fruit?

-All right then.

-Here's some snacks.

I'll place speedy delivery.

There you go.

There's the milk.

-There's the fruit.

[CHILD SINGING]

-There's yours.

There we go.

Well, there's some deliveries.

-Here you are, Erica.

-I have more deliveries
to make today.

I'm glad to be able
to see you today.

Speedy delivery to you.

-I guess I better go, too.

-Would you like to
take a piece of fruit?

-I would.

-I would.

I think I'll take an orange.

-I'd like an apple.

You all have a good day.

-All right.

Good bye.

-Bye.
MR. MCFEELY: Good bye everybody.

-I'm glad I came, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, I thought
you'd like that visit.

-Come along.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Well, I have a pick up
and delivery over that way,

so I'll just say,
speedy delivery to you.

-Oh, well, thank
you, Mr. McFeely.

-OK, bye bye.

-Enjoyed being with you.

We stayed away longer
than I expected,

but I'm glad Mr.
McFeely let us visit

the daycare home with him.

You see, when moms
and dads both have

to go to work at the
same time, they often

have to find somebody to take
good care of their children.

That somebody is called a day
caregiver because it's somebody

who gives care in
the daytime while Mom

and Dad are working
away from home.

That's who Mrs. Beasley is.

She's a day caregiver.

Let's go inside.

Of course, there are
many different kinds

of daycare homes
and daycare centers.

But one thing they're
all supposed to have

is somebody who really
cares for children

and gives them good, safe
care until their moms

or dads come for them.

And in most daycare
places, the children

get to love their caregiver.

But they love their
mothers and dads even more,

and that's what makes it hard
when their parents leave.

Let's have some make-believe.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Trolley.

Let's think of a time in the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe

when both a father and a mother
have to go away from home

to work.

Ready, Trolley?

[WHISTLE]

OK.

Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[WHISTLE]

-Well, I just called
to check on the rug.

Oh, you say it's on its way?

How did you send it?

Speedy delivery.

Oh, good.

Thank you so much.

MR. MCFEELY: Speedy delivery.

Speedy delivery.

-Oh, just the person
I was hoping to see.

-Good day, Miss Paulificate.
How are you today?

-I'm fine.

I hope that's the royal rug.

-Well, now, is this it?

-Oh!

This is it.

Oh, thanks so much.

-Oh, you're quite welcome.

Quite welcome.

X: Uh, Mr. McFeely?

-Oh, sounds like X the
owl is calling you.

-Yes?

-Well, see you later.

Thank you very much again.

-OK.
Speedy delivery to you.

X: Uh, Mr. McFeely?

-Coming, X. Coming.

X: Uh, did it come, Mr. McFeely?

-You mean your OCS package?

-Yes.

Do you have it?

-Well, let's see-- I'm afraid
it hasn't arrived yet, X.

-Aw, nuts.

I wanted to start to
study that course.

-Well, just exactly
what course is it?

What are you studying, X?

-Oh, anything that comes
will be fine, Mr. McFeely.

I love to learn.

I love to study.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[SINGING] Owl Correspondence
School, dear OCS.

We do our lessons,
and we get a U or S.

We hope for an S. Oh,
Owl Correspondence

School, dear OCS.

Owl Correspondence
School, we love you best.

We love you best.

-Yes sir.

I love to work.

-Oh, well, so do I. Oh.

Oh, X, I just noticed
something in here

I neglected to
take to the castle.

-What's that mean, neglected?

-Well, it means
that I didn't do it.

So I'll have to do it right now,
and it looks rather important,

doesn't it?

-It surely does with all those
stickers and tassels and stuff.

I wish it were my OCS studies.

-Well, they'll come.

You mark my words.

-How do I do that?

Mark your words?

-Well, it's something
people say to mean

oh, it's sure to happen.

-Oh, I see.

OK then.

I guess I'll go study
my old lessons again.

See you, Mr. McFeely.

-OK, bye bye, X.
Speedy delivery to you.

Speedy delivery.

Speedy delivery for King Friday.

Speedy delivery at the
castle for King Friday.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Mr. McFeely, I presume.

-Correct as usual, King Friday.

-And what is the nature
of your business today?

-This speedy delivery.

-Oh, you may read it.

MR. MCFEELY: Well, it says to
King Friday and Queen Sarah

Saturday, Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.

KING FRIDAY: Well, we'll need
the Queen for this reading.

Sarah, dear, will you come here?

-Sheer poetry.

-Yes.

-Oh, did you call, Friday?

-Yes.

I said, Sarah dear,
will you come here?

-Oh, that's lovely.

And how are you, Mr. McFeely?

-Very fine, thank
you, Queen Sarah.

I have this delivery for you
and King Friday right here.

-Oh, it's beautifully decorated.

It looks like an invitation.

-You may read it
now, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, all righty.

Just a moment here.

I'll open it up.

KING FRIDAY: Thank you.

-Here we go.

Well, it says, "Your Royal
Highnesses King Friday

and Queen Sarah Saturday,
the Royal School of Castle

Management most respectfully
invites you both to teach

a short masters course
entitled Castles Yesterday

and Today with special
emphasis on the crown

storage and child rearing.

May we hear from
you immediately?

Yours with high hopes
and higher expectations,

the Royal Committee on Guest
Lectureship, Queen Mabel

and King Harold, Chairpersons."

-Oh, Mabel and Harold.

How thoughtful of them.

-And they want us to
teach a masters course?

-Yes.

Wouldn't that be a challenge?

-Would you like to do it, Sarah?

-I would, Friday.

Don't you think it would be fun?

-Yes, but we must find out
when it is and for how long.

Miss Paulificate!

Castle garden, please.

Oh, there she is.

-You called, Sire?

-Yes, will you kindly call
the Royal School of Castle

Management and ask for
Queen Mabel or King Harold?

-I already have, Your Majesty,
and Queen Mabel is on the phone

right now.

-Oh, very good.

Hello, Mabel?

How are you?

Very fine, thank you.

And Harold?

Good.

Yes, she's fine, too.

Standing right beside me here.

Oh, well, of course.

She said she liked to
talk with you, Sarah.

-Oh.

Hello, Mabel.

Yes, of course, it just arrived.

Speedy delivery.

Well, we'd like to very much.

Tomorrow evening?

Well, of course, but
how long would we stay?

Three days and three nights?

Uh, just a moment.

What do you think, Friday?

-Of course we can manage.

-We'll be there tomorrow, Mabel.

Yes, crown storage
and childbearing.

Farewell.

-Well, that sounds like fun.

-Yes, but I've
just been thinking.

What about Prince Tuesday?

-Uh, what about him, Sarah?

-Well, who would take care
of him while we're gone?

-I can help, Your Majesty.

-And I'm sure you
will, Miss Paulificate,

but you are very busy
with the telephones.

-Uh, well, we'll need
a babysitter for him.

-But who will that be?

-Perhaps we should consult
Prince Tuesday himself.

-I think that's
an excellent idea.

-Thank you.

-I'll fetch him.

-You may.

Thank you very much.

-The Royal School
doesn't give people

much time to prepare
their courses.

-Well, we've always
been noted for our crown

storage, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, how do you
store your crowns?

-We wear them all
the time, dear.

MR. MCFEELY: Oh, I see.

-We're always sure
of where they are.

MR. MCFEELY: Well, what
about child rearing?

-Speaking of that, here
comes our prince now.

-Miss Paulificate said you
wanted to see me, Daddy.

-That's correct, son.

You may greet your
mother and Mr. McFeely.

-Hi Mother.

MR. MCFEELY: Hello,
Prince Tuesday.

-Hi Mr. McFeely.

-You grow bigger each time
I see you, Prince Tuesday.

-Oh, he does, does he not?

-Are you going to go away?

-We are, son.

And we want to ask your
advice about something.

-What is it?

-Whom would you like
for a babysitter?

-Nobody.

-Nobody?

Why not?

-Because I'm not a baby.

-Well, of course
you're not a baby.

That's just something
that people say.

-Well, I don't
want a babysitter.

-Uh, how about a night
and day caregiver, son?

-Well, that sounds good.

-Well, then we shall arrange
for a night and day caregiver.

Uh, do you know anyone we
could call, Mr. McFeely?

-Well, Mayor Maggie
of Westwood should

know all about
that, King Friday.

-Oh, Mayor Maggie.

I know her well.

We grew up together.

I'll arrange that, dear.

-How long are you
going to be gone?

-Three days and three night.

-Three nights?

-Well, people need to
learn about castles

and crowns and children
and all, Tuesday.

-Why do you both have to go?

-Well, your mother
and I could teach them

better together than we
could just one of us.

-I see.

-We're looking forward
to it, Tuesday,

but we promise
that we'll find you

someone fine to stay with
you here while we're gone.

Someone we're sure
will take care of you.

-You're not going because I
was bad one time, are you?

-Of course not, son.

If you were a bad
person, we couldn't even

think of going away.

After all, when we go, you and
your night and day caregiver

will be in charge
of this castle.

A large job.

-I see.

And are you going to wear
your crowns when you go?

-Oh, yes.

We always wear our crowns.

-OK then.

But when will I be old
enough to wear a crown?

-When you become a man, Tuesday.

And you're working
on that right now.

QUEEN SARAH: Well,
I think I must

call Mayor Maggie right now.

-And I must write my lectures.

-And I must tell my friends.

-And I must pass out
more speedy deliveries.

Bye bye, everybody.

KING FRIDAY:
Farewell, Mr. McFeely.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Yes, that's right, Trolley.

Yes.

Tomorrow.

[WHISTLE]

[CHIMES]

-So, King Friday and Queen
Sarah are going to go away

for a few days, and they're
going to get a night and day

caregiver to stay
with Prince Tuesday.

Did you ever have a babysitter
or a night and day caregiver?

Did you like that person?

You know, mothers and dads want
to be sure that the person who

comes to take care of
you when they're out

will be someone who
takes good care.

Mhm.

That's very important
to mothers and dads.

In fact, that's
something you can

talk to your mom and dad about.

What babysitters and caregivers
you really like and why.

That's important talk
because everybody

has feelings about that.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[SINGING] I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

I hope that you're
as proud as I am.

Proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

I hope that you are
proud and that you're

learning how important you are.

How important each
person you see can be.

Discovering each one's specialty
is a most important learning.

I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

I hope that you're
as proud as I am.

Proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

I hope that you
proud of you, too.

-Let's feed the fish now.

Here's your food, fish.

You know, every living creature
needs some kind of care.

I like being a caregiver.

Do you?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[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
it a special day.

I'll be back next time.

Bye.

[MUSIC PLAYING]
