[MUSIC PLAYING]

-[SINGING] 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?

Won't you be my neighbor?

Won't you please?

Won't you please?

Please won't you be my neighbor?

Do you ever sing with me
when I sing that song?

[SINGING] Please won't
you be my neighbor?

Have you ever seen me using
reading Glasses sometimes

I put these on when I
need to read a paper

or see what my writing looks
like or see pictures clearer.

Do you know anybody
else who wears glasses

to read things and
look at pictures?

Do you know anybody
who wears glasses

all the time when they're awake?

There are a lot
of people who do.

I remember when I was in grade
school, one of my friends

wore glasses all the time.

And so I asked if I
could have glasses,

because I wanted to
look like my friend.

But I wasn't allowed to.

The eye doctor said
that glasses were

just for people who needed them.

And I didn't need
them right then.

Now in here is an extra
special kind of glasses.

And I just wonder
if you've ever seen

anybody wearing
glasses like these.

Part of them look
like regular glasses.

Let me show you.

This part right here look
like regular glasses.

But then added to those regular
glasses are little telescopes.

I know people who couldn't
see anything at all

until they got
glasses like these.

They're very different
looking, aren't they?

And very special.

I'll just put them on so you
can see how I look with them.

You see they, they act
like little telescopes,

making something out
here look very big.

So if you ever see someone
with glasses like this,

you can ask that
person more about them.

And you can also tell them
that Mr. Rogers showed

some to you one
day on television.

Those are very special glasses.

They help some people
see things that they

could never have seen.

Now I have some pictures
that I want to show you,

some pictures of fish.

Now, this first
one is a blue tang.

Isn't that a beautiful fish?

And this one is a trigger fish.

And look at this one.

This is a copper-banded
butterfly fish.

You see right here?

That looks like an eye.

But it's not.

That's not its eye.

Over here is its eye.

You see the eye right there?

So it's a kind of camouflage.

And when something tries
to come and get that fish,

it just runs away this way.

And they think that it's
going to go that way.

This is a pearl gourami.

We have some like
that in our fish t*nk.

And this one's an angelfish.

We have some like that too.

Fancy fish, aren't they?

Some people are
fancy-looking too.

And others have their
fanciness mostly on the inside.

[SINGING] Some are
fancy on the outside.

Some are fancy on the inside.

Everybody's fancy.

Everybody's fine.

Your body's fancy,
and so is mine.

Boys are boys from
the beginning.

Girls are girls
right from the start.

Everybody's fancy.

Everybody's fine.

Your body's fancy,
and so is mine.

I think you're a special person.

And I like your
ins and outsides.

Everybody's fancy.

Everybody's fine.

Your body's fancy,
and so is mine.

It's true.

Fancy on the outside.

Fancy on the inside.

Every one of us.

I'm expecting one
of our neighbors

to come here any minute now.

She's someone who knows a lot
about taking care of fish.

And I asked her to come
over to look at my fish t*nk

and show me how to
take better care of it.

So let's just go outside
and wait for her.

Put these away.

Her name's Sallie Boggs.

I like it out here.

It's fun to think about things,
like birds in the air, fish

in the water, and animals
and people walk on the earth.

Yet all of us are alive.

And we all need
some kind of care.

Oh, there's Sallie now.

Hi, Sallie.

SALLIE BOGGS: Hi, Fred.
How you doing?

-Thank you for coming.

I'd like you to
know my neighbor.

-Hi.

-Come in.

I'd like you to
see my fish t*nk.

Do you call it a
t*nk or an aquarium?

-It really doesn't matter.

-Oh, it doesn't.

It's right over here.

-Oh.

That's very nice.

I can see you are anxious to
make them very comfortable.

-Well, we try.

-You have some plants
and some rocks and gravel

and filters to help
clean the water.

That's very important,
because they

live only in this one place.

MR. ROGERS: Just
this little place.

-All the time.

Yes.

It's fun to
re-decorate sometimes.

They don't mind that.

-You mean move
the plants around?

-Yeah.

Make it look nice for yourself.

-Mm-hmm.

-It's sort of like
having a picture

window with real
live things in it.

I brought you a present too.

-What is that?

-It's a funny-looking plant.

It's called Java moss.

It doesn't look like much.

But it expands when you
put it in the water.

MR. ROGERS: Sallie,
that looks like hair.

SALLIE BOGGS: It's Java moss.

The fish like it.

Some of them eat it.

And it'll grow.

It needs light.

MR. ROGERS: Should
I just put it in?

SALLIE BOGGS: Mm-hmm.

They may come over and
investigate as it goes down.

MR. ROGERS: Let them
know that it's coming.

SALLIE BOGGS: There.

There's a little pearl
gourami looking at it.

MR. ROGERS: I was just showing--

SALLIE BOGGS: Just underneath.

MR. ROGERS: --my friends a
picture of a pearl gourami.

It does look like they have
little pearls on the side,

doesn't it?
SALLIE BOGGS: They do.

These are babies.

This is a baby angel
fish right here.

MR. ROGERS: They saw.

I showed them the
angel fish too.

SALLIE BOGGS: They know
about the angel fish.

MR. ROGERS: Mm-hmm.

SALLIE BOGGS: Mm-hmm.

-What do fish do in
the nighttime, Sallie?

-Well, they just sort of
relax, sink to the bottom,

and stop moving around so much.

-You mean they just
sit on the bottom?

SALLIE BOGGS: They
relax near the bottom.

If you frighten them,
they'll wake up.

They feel your
motion in the water.

They like to get in a corner
sometimes, where it's safe.

They feel comfortable.

MR. ROGERS: I see.

Do all fish do that at night?

-No, no.

There's some fish that sleep
all day and swim around

and eat at night.

I think we have some
catfish in this t*nk.

There's one behind here.

See, he's hiding.

MR. ROGERS: Mm-hmm.

SALLIE BOGGS: They learn
sometimes, the tame ones,

to come out.

MR. ROGERS: I see.

SALLIE BOGGS: But these will
sleep all day in the wild

and come out at night and eat.

MR. ROGERS: Well, when
you mention eating,

I wanted to ask you about food.

I have-- I put holes in the
top of this food container.

But I didn't know whether--
is it best to dip in like that

and put it in?

Or is it all right
just to go like that?

SALLIE BOGGS: It's fine
to just go like that.

The important thing is
not too put too much in.

MR. ROGERS: Too much.

SALLIE BOGGS: Yes.

You have quite a few fish.

The fish should not
so much food that they

can't eat in 10 minutes.

MR. ROGERS: Oh.

They should be able to clean
all of that off in 10 minutes?

-That's right.

You have to watch.

If they don't eat the
food-- fish don't overeat.

They're not like people.

They-- there's one eating now.

If you put too much in,
it sinks to the bottom.

And it pollutes the t*nk.

MR. ROGERS: I see.

SALLIE BOGGS: And
again, you see this

is all the water they have.

You have to freshen it once a
week by changing some of it,

take a quarter of it out
and put fresh water in.

MR. ROGERS: I see.

Oh, I'm glad you think it's OK.

-Well, I'm sorry to have to run.

But I have to give a talk
to the aquarium society.

MR. ROGERS: Well, I'm
grateful you did tell us.

-If you have other
questions, will you call me?

-Sure will.

Thank you, Sallie.

I like to meet people
who know special things.

-Well, you have a nice t*nk.

Take good care of it.

-We'll try to.

Thanks again for coming.

SALLIE BOGGS: Thank you.

-Bye.

SALLIE BOGGS: Bye.

-She knows so much about fish.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

-Trolley.

We'll have some
make-believe now.

We've been pretending
that King Friday and Queen

Sara have gone away
for a few days.

And Prince Tuesday
has a night and day

caregiver whose
name is Mr. Aber.

Let's pretend that it's getting
near the end of the day.

And everyone is thinking
about the nighttime.

Do you know what the name
for that part of the day

is when the sun goes down
and it begins to get dark?

It's called twilight.

Sometimes it's hard
for people to go

from daytime to nighttime.

And sometimes it's easy.

It all depends on how we feel.

Well, let's think
about the nighttime

in the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.

We'll pretend that the
Trolley has some lights on it.

OK?

Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

DANIEL TIGER: It's getting
dark, Lady Aberlin.

LADY ABERLIN: Yes.

Sometimes I like the nighttime.

Do you?

DANIEL TIGER: Uh-huh.

Especially when there are
people that I love close by.

-Hmm.

I know what you mean.

Well, I guess I better be
getting back to the castle.

DANIEL TIGER: Oh.

How's Prince Tuesday doing?

-Oh, pretty well.

Mr. Aber's been so good about
finding lots of things to do.

They've been visiting
all kinds of places,

doing all sorts of things.

DANIEL TIGER: It must be fun to
have a night and day caregiver.

-I'm sure it is.

But still, there are
times you'd rather

have your mom and dad with you.

DANIEL TIGER: Mm-hmm.

LADY ABERLIN: Would you
like a good night kiss?

DANIEL TIGER: That
would be good.

Would you like one?

-Yes.

DANIEL TIGER: OK.

It takes two to
kiss, doesn't it?

-That's what's so good about it.

See you tomorrow.

DANIEL TIGER: Uh, tomorrow.

That's what I like
about the nighttime.

When it's all finished,
the daytime's there.

-Yes.

Isn't it wonderful?

There's always a new day.

DANIEL TIGER: Uh,
could I ask you

one more thing before you go?

-Oh, of course.

Daniel, I'm not in any hurry.

DANIEL TIGER: Well,
it's something

I've been thinking
about for a long time.

LADY ABERLIN: What is it?

DANIEL TIGER: Well, I've
been wondering about things

like nighttime and
daytime and rainbows

and birds and sunshine.

I'll just sing you my
wonderings, all right?

LADY ABERLIN: Oh, do.

DANIEL TIGER: [SINGING] Who
made the rainbow and the sky?

Who made the bird
and let it fly?

Who made the hour?

Who made the day?

Who had the power
to make the flower?

And who made the rain
and made the snow,

made us and made
us want to know?

-I can sing you what I believe.

[SINGING] God made the rainbow,
the bird, and the summer sun.

God made the mountains, the
stars, each and every one.

God made the sea and
she made the land.

God made the mighty and
God made the very small.

God made the world,
made the people.

He made it all.

TOGETHER [SINGING]:
God made the rainbow,

the bird and the summer sky.

God made the mountain, the
stars, each and every one.

God made the sea and
she made the land.

God made the mighty and
God made the very small.

God made the world,
made the people.

He made it all.

DANIEL TIGER:
Thanks, Lady Aberlin.

-Thanks for asking, Daniel.

Good night.

DANIEL TIGER: Good night.

LADY ABERLIN: [HUMMING]
"Closed for the night.

See you tomorrow." [HUMMING]

X THE OWL: Hey, Lady Aberlin.

Isn't it beautiful?

-The stars in the sky?

X THE OWL: Yes.

I'm learnin' all about them
for my Native American course.

-Native Americans know
a lot about the stars.

X THE OWL: Oh, they know a lot
about all kinds of neat stuff,

air and water and fire
and land and you name it.

Important stuff.

-Oh, I'm glad you're
having such a good time

with your studies, X.

X THE OWL: I love to learn.

-I'm proud of you.

X THE OWL: And to
think, those stars up

there are shining in the
daytime and at the nighttime.

But it's only in the nighttime
that we can see them.

-Because the sun is so bright
in the daytime, I guess.

X THE OWL: Yeah.

There's lots to know
about light, isn't there?

-There's lots to know
about everything, X.

X THE OWL: I am so
glad to be an owl.

-And I am so glad to be a
person who know an owl like you.

Good night.

X THE OWL: I'll see you
tomorrow, Lady Aberlin.

LADY ABERLIN: See ya tomorrow.

X THE OWL: OK.

LADY ABERLIN: Hi, Mr. Aber.

-Oh, hi Lady Aberlin.

LADY ABERLIN: It's a
beautiful night, isn't it?

-[SINGING] It's a beautiful
night in this neighborhood.

-Oh.

I've been having some good
visits with Daniel and with X.

-Prince Tuesday's
already asleep.

-Any word from Aunt Sara
and Uncle Friday today?

-No.

Not today.

But everything was fine with
them the last time we heard.

-I've heard about some
of the interesting things

you and Tuesday have
been doing together.

MR. ABER: Yeah.

We've had a good time together.

-You're a fine night
and day caregiver.

MR. ABER: Thank you.

[CRYING]

Do you hear something?

[CRYING]

-Like what?

[CRYING]

-Just listen.

[CRYING]

I think that's Tuesday.

I'm going to go see him.

-I'll come with you.

-All right.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CRYING]

PRINCE TUESDAY: Oh, no.

No.

Don't go!

[CRYING]

-Tuesday.

Tuesday, wake up!

You're dreaming.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Oh.

Where am I?

-You're in your own bed at home.

PRINCE TUESDAY: I was dreaming.

-Lady Aberlin and I heard you.

-Sounds like it wasn't a
very happy dream, cousin.

PRINCE TUESDAY: It was about
a little fish who was swimming

as hard and as fast as he could.

But he still couldn't
find his mother.

-Oh, that could be
a very scary dream.

-The best thing to do is
to talk about it, Tuesday.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Well, the little
fish seemed so very little.

And the ocean
seemed so very big.

I guess he just didn't
know where to look anymore.

I wonder what Mom and
Dad are doing now.

-Let's think about what
they might be doing.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

QUEEN SARA: That was a
wonderful day, Friday.

KING FRIDAY: Yes.

Those students seemed to be
very pleased with our course.

QUEEN SARA: I never
knew that teaching

could help you learn so much.

KING FRIDAY: Yes.

Those young people did
have excellent ideas.

QUEEN SARA: These have been
good days for us, haven't they?

KING FRIDAY: They have.

Nevertheless, I have thought
a great deal about Tuesday

and how things might
be going at our home.

QUEEN SARA: Yes, so have I.

KING FRIDAY: I'll be glad
to see everyone tomorrow.

QUEEN SARA: Yes,
so will I. I just

wanted you to know, Friday,
that I really love you.

KING FRIDAY: May I
say the same, Sara?

You are a most
satisfactory queen.

QUEEN SARA: Thank you, dear.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

PRINCE TUESDAY: I think
Mom and Dad are all right

and they'll come back tomorrow.

-I think so too.

-We're proud of you, Tuesday.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Thanks.

-Well, it's time
for me to go now.

-I'm going to stay a
while with Tuesday.

And then I'll go to bed.

-Good night to both of you.

-Good night.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Good
night, Lady Aberlin.

-You really like her,
don't you, Tuesday?

PRINCE TUESDAY: I'm
glad she's my cousin.

She's easy to talk to.

-Oh, yeah.

And she likes to talk
about important things.

PRINCE TUESDAY: She gave me
that telescope for my birthday.

-Is it a real one?

PRINCE TUESDAY: Yes.

Wanna see the stars?

-Sure.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Take a look.

-Oh.

PRINCE TUESDAY: See how
bright some of them are.

-Yes.

PRINCE TUESDAY: And
some of them look

like they're making
designs in the sky.

MR. ABER: Yeah.

I see that.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Well,
they're thousands

and thousands of miles away.

But they're so bright,
we can see them here.

MR. ABER: You want to look?

PRINCE TUESDAY: OK.

I like stars.

I like the Milky Way.

-Oh, there must be millions
of stars altogether there.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Yes.

Isn't it pretty?

MR. ABER: Mm-hmm.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Can
you see the Milky

Way when you're in Westwood?

-Oh, sure.

On a clear night, you
can see it anywhere.

PRINCE TUESDAY:
Even at the Royal

School of Castle Management?

-Even there where
your parents are.

The same stars are
shining over the place

where your mom and
dad are, the same ones

that are shining here.

PRINCE TUESDAY: I
like you, Mr. Aber.

MR. ABER: And I
like you, Tuesday.

PRINCE TUESDAY: I think I'm
ready to go to sleep again.

MR. ABER: All right.

I'll be in the next room.

PRINCE TUESDAY: Before you
go, would you sing me a song?

MR. ABER: Oh, of course.

I'll sing you one
I sometimes sing

to myself as I'm
going to sleep, OK?

PRINCE TUESDAY: Good.

-[SINGING] Love
made the rainbow,

he bird, and the summer sun.

Love made the mountains, the
stars, each and every one.

Love made the sea and
love made the land.

Love made the mighty.

Love made the very small.

Love made the world,
made the people.

Love made it all.

PRINCE TUESDAY:
Thank you, Mr. Aber.

-Oh, you're welcome, Tuesday.

I hope you have a good night.

PRINCE TUESDAY: You too.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

-Yes, Trolley.

Everyone seems to be quiet.

Nighttime's a time
for quiet, isn't it?

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

-Oh, the King and
Queen are supposed

to be back sometime tomorrow.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

-Oh, you're right.

We all will.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE]

-Good night to you too, Trolley.

[TROLLEY BELL AND WHISTLE][

-Prince Tuesday was
dreaming about a little fish

who couldn't find its mother.

That could be a very scary
dream, especially for someone

who's mother and dad were away.

Did you ever have a scary dream?

What did you do about it?

Did you tell the people
you love about it,

the people who love you?

When I was a little boy
and I had a scary dream,

sometimes I'd get some
paper and crayons.

And I would draw
pictures about my dream.

I might draw a little
fish and a big fish,

if I had a dream like
Prince Tuesday's.

And the little fish would
get closer and closer

to the big fish and finally find
the big fish on my pictures.

And sometimes that
would help so much

that I was able to get
back to sleep real soon.

But going to sleep
sometimes feels

like you're leaving
everything behind,

everything and everybody.

But that's not true.

When you go to sleep, everything
and everybody are right there.

And when you wake
up in the morning,

you'll see that they are.

And one thing's sure.

Those are all
things that you can

talk about with the
people who love you.

It really helps to talk
about the way you feel,

because everybody has
feelings all the time.

And I'm proud that
you're able to understand

that better and better.

I know the friends that
I have who wear glasses

like this have
feelings about them.

Sometimes they don't
even want to put them on.

But I'm proud when they can,
because it helps them so much.

I know I have feelings
when I have to leave you.

But I think of the
times when we'll

be able to visit together again.

And thinking about that
gives me 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.

I'll be back next time.

Bye bye.
