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 the 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?

Would you be mine?

Won't you be my neighbor?

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

please won't you be my neighbor?

-Welcome, neighbor.

Glad we could be together today.

Yep.

I have something that
one of my neighbors

sent to me that I
would like you to see.

Look at that.

Isn't that fun to see that?

Look at the every page has
a different letter on it.

And my friend made it so that
it would look like it's moving.

I'll show it to you once more.

Animation-- artistic animation.

You can imagine how
much work that took

to draw every one of those.

Mhm.

Now I'll show you this that
I brought in just a minute.

But I need to feed
the fish right away.

There.

I have some friends who
get very concerned when

I forget the fish
during our visits.

Well, I just wanted you to know
that even if I forget to feed

them when we're together,
I come back later

and feed them so they're
always taken care of.

Mhm.

It's good to know that fish
and animals and children

are taken care of by
those who can, isn't it?

[SINGING] I like to take care
of you, yes I do, yes I do.

I like to take care of
you, yes I do, yes I do.

I like to take care of you, too.

And one of the ways
I take care of you

is to show you things that I
think you might like to see.

Now, before I show
you this, I'd like

you to look at the
side of my face.

Here, this side-- my profile.

Now I'll turn and
you can see the front

of my face-- my full face.

Now, what if you were
a painter, an artist,

and wanted to show this
side of a person's face,

like this, and the
front of the face

at the same time on
the same painting.

How do you think you'd do that?

Well, this is a copy of a
painting by Pablo Picasso.

And it looks to me as
if he may have wanted

to show the side
of this girl's face

at the same time
as her whole face.

Isn't that fun to
see how he did that?

This is a girl before a mirror.

She's looking in a mirror.

Oh, his paintings
aren't all like this.

In fact, I have some slides
of some of his other paintings

all ready to show you
on Picture Picture.

So let's just do
that for a minute.

"Hi" says Picture Picture.

Well, hi to Picture Picture.

Let's see this first one.

Well, this is a little
boy eating from a bowl.

Picasso painted this
when he was 20 years old.

It's called "Le Gourmet."

And this one's "The Harlequin."

Picasso was only 20 when
he painted this one too.

I wonder what that harlequin
is thinking, with his these two

fingers up to the
side of his face.

Picasso loved people
who were in the circus.

Here's a whole family
of circus workers.

I love to look at that painting.

You know, each person there
looks as if he or she might be

looking in a
different direction,

and yet they're all
on the same painting.

Here's another one
of my favorites

of Picasso, called
"The Three Musicians."

I wonder what kind of
music they're playing.

"Hi."

I thought you might like that.

But this is one of my favorites.

I like to think of
people who think

up different ways
to show things.

And Picasso certainly did that.

Different ways of showing
things-- speaking of that,

why don't we get the trolley
and have some make believe?

Different ways of
showing things.

Come on, trolley.

Last time we pretended
that King Friday the 13th

had asked everybody to do
some kind of portrait of him.

Robert Troll had already
done a couple of them

and Lady Aberlin had asked
some of the other neighbors

to do some, too.

So let's make believe
that they're still

working on those today as the
trolley goes by the Castle

Garden in the Neighborhood
of Make Believe.

-Oh me oh my.

How much longer are
you going to have

me pose like this, Miss Aberlin?

-I'm almost finished with
my work, Uncle Friday.

-Well, you've had made
lying like and standing

like this and every
imaginable thing.

I can't imagine what this
portrait will be like.

-Everyone is different,
Uncle Friday.

-Oh, yes, I know.

And everyone is fancy and fine.

-Oh, why don't we
sing that fancy song

together, Uncle Friday?

It will help pass the
time more quickly for you.

-Oh, I don't know that I have
every sung on my side before.

-Let this be a new beginning.

-Oh, very well.

What an uncle won't
do for a niece.

-And a niece for an uncle.

[SINGING] Some are
fancy on the outside.

You're very fancy.

Some are fancy on the inside.

I like to tell you-- everybody's
fancy, everybody's fine.

Your body's fancy,
and so is mine.

I think you're a special person.

You're very special.

And I like your
ins and outsides.

Your ins and outsides.

Everybody's fancy,
everybody's fine.

Your body's fancy,
and so is mine.

-Message for Lady Ab-- King
Friday, you're everywhere.

-Um, Miss Paulificate, I presume

-Correct as usual, sire.

I've never seen so many
portraits of the same person

in one place.

-Uncle Friday wanted
everyone to do something.

-About him?

-Yes.

-Naturally.

-Naturally.

You may try your
hand at painting

something, Miss Paulificate.

--[GASP] I see Lady Aberlin has
you in all different angles.

-Ah ha.

Ah ha.

That is different.

I see now, Lady Aberlin.

It's different and
fancy and fine.

Congratulations, [INAUDIBLE].

-Thank you.

-You always stretch
my imagination.

-I enjoyed this
assignment, Uncle Friday.

-Yes.

And what about the others?

How are they coming
along with their work?

-Oh, that reminds me.

X and Henrietta called.

They're ready to send
over whatever it is you

asked them to do, Lady A.

-That's quick.

Uncle Friday, you're going
to have more and more.

-I wonder where
we'll put them all.

-You asked for them.

-Oh, that's true, and
I'm delighting in them.

Yes.

-I still have to ask
Lady Elaine for one.

Would you mind going
over and picking up

X's and Henrietta's while
I go see Lady Elaine?

-Oh, I'd be glad to.

-Would you excuse
us, Uncle Friday?

-I will excuse you both.

In fact, I will repair to the
R room and greet you anon.

Farewell.
-Farwell.

-Farwell.

-Kind Friday certainly likes
a lot of pictures of himself,

doesn't he?

-That's for sure, and it's
always been that way, it seems.

See you later.

-Yeah.

-Meow, Miss P.

-Oh, hello, Hen.

Lady A asked me to pick up
your artwork for the King.

-Meow it is.

This is your artwork?

-Meow.

X, meow meow leaves.

And meow, meow, meow, animation.

-You and X made
animation on leaves?

-Meow.

Meow, meow difficult.

-I guess it was.

Oh, but how does it work?

-Meow.

Meow meow leaves.

Meow meow one hand.

Meow flip them.

Meow meow other.

-OK.

I hold them in one hand and
I flip them with the other.

-Meow.

Exactly.

-Why Henrietta, how wonderful.

Oh.

And it just looks like
the King is dancing.

-Meow.

Meow, meow.

Think meow will like it?

-Well, I would think he
would, but I know I do.

-Meow.

Now tell X meow's off now.

Meow fly somewhere.

-Oh, and I want to show this
to Lady Aberlin right away.

-Meow K. Meow.

Bye.

-Bye, Hen.

And thanks for
your careful work.

-Meow.

Welcome.

-Are you sure, Lady Elaine?

-Of course I'm sure.

I think it's ridiculous.

Here.

Give him this instead.

-But-- but Picasso painted this.

-Of course he did.

-But Uncle Freddy wants you
to do something of your own.

-If I have time.

Toot toot.

-Hope you had
better luck than I.

-You got a Picasso?

--[LAUGH] Yes, but
hardly a King Friday.

-Well, wait until you see this.

It really does
look like the King.

-On leaves?

-On leaves.

-Oh, that's wonderful.

Let's show it to him right away.

Leaves!

-You see how everyone is
thinking of different things

to do?

Lady Aberlin used chalk and drew
several portraits of the King

on one piece of paper.

And X and Henrietta made
an animation on leaves.

But it doesn't seem
as if Lady Elaine

wants to do one of any kind.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello?

Hi.

How are you?

Oh, good.

Yes, I'd like to.

All right.

Fine.

Thank you.

Bye bye.

That was Chef Brockett.

He asked if we could
come over to his bakery.

He always has
interesting things there,

and I like to visit with
him and Sergio Pinto.

So let's just go right away
to Chef Brockett's bakery.

Come along.

-Hello.

-How are you today?

Hi, Don.

-Oh, hi, Fred.

-Hi Mr. Rogers.

-Sergio.

-Well, I called you because
Sergio has some special singing

friends here, and I
want you to hear them.

-Oh, I'd like to.

-Will you show him
to [INAUDIBLE]?

-Sure.

Want to come with me?

-Thanks, Don.

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

-Oh, very nice.

-Thank you.

-Do you want to meet my friends?
-Oh, I'd be glad to.

-OK.

This is Maria, from Venezuela.

-Hi.
-How do you do?

-Nice to meet you.

Maria.

-Nice to meet you, Maria.
-Very pleased to meet you.

-And your name?

-Pilar.

Pilar.

-Jorge from Venezuela.

-Jorge.

-Jorge.

Glad to meet you.

-This is Sergio from Mexico.
-Sergio.

Nice to meet you.
-And Victor from Peru.

Nice to meet you.
-And Victor from Peru.
-Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.

Glad to meet you.

Oh, when you hear you
are sing and play,

you just feel like dancing.

-Ah!

-We enjoy it.

-Oh, I can see that.

-It's a lot of fun.

-What a treat to be with you.

Did you sing and play when you
were little girls and boys?

-Yes.

I have been singing
since I was a little girl

and I enjoy singing a lot.

-How would you say
that in Spanish?

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Cantar?

-Mhm.

-Mucho.

And you cantar mucho?

-Y mi me gusta tambien
cambar mucho quando

al el nina-- when I was a child.

-[INAUDIBLE].

-And my father, my
grandfather, used to sing also

in radio and operas
and I've played

guitar since I was
nine years old.

-Oh, that's wonderful.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Oh, gracias.

And you?

-Yeah.

Music is a beautiful, so
I've done it for a long time.

-And do you speak Spanish?

-Uh huh.

Tambien hablo Espanol.

[SPANISH]

-Excellent.

And you, sir?

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Ah.

Good.

Oh.

Would you play
something else for me?

I would love to
hear something else.

-Of course.

-Sure.

In fact, we'd like for you
to join us if you would.

We have an instrument
there that you

could probably help us with.

-Sure.

This one's here.

And by the way, you don't
need special instruments

to make sounds.

You know, you can
make sounds or music

with different instruments--
homemade instruments.

-Homemade instruments.

-Yeah.

Pilar can show you some-- can
you show him some instruments?

-I have here home spoons that
you use to take the soup.

You just put two spoons
between your finger,

between the two spoons, and
let's see how it sounds.

-OK.

-Ooh, nice.

-Maybe with this
it sounds better.

-Those are big ones.
-Yeah.

-How do you say
spoons in Spanish?

-Cucharas.

-Cucharas?

-Cucharas.

There are people
that they only play

cucharas, and play perfectly.

I'm just learning.

-Oh my goodness.

I'd love to try that.

I bet that's a lot
harder than it looks.

-Uh huh.

That's it.

And just keep trying.

That's it!

-I was just thinking--

-Oh, yeah.

-We could even
make it with that.

-Sure. [INAUDIBLE].
-[INAUDIBLE].

How would you make
music with that?

-Good.

Just some paper cups, huh?

-Yeah.

-But what about this
one that you showed me?

It doesn't make any noise.

-That's [INAUDIBLE].

It's got some pebbles inside,
and what you're going to do

is flip is around.

And we're going to
hear the sound of rain.

-Oh, you mean there's
some pebbles in here?

-Yeah.

There's pebbles inside.
-Little stones.

[INAUDIBLE]

-Ah.

-And [INAUDIBLE].

-[INAUDIBLE] the sound of rain.

-Ooh, that does sound
like rain, doesn't it?

-Isn't that nice?

-That's like a storm.

-A rainstorm, yes.

-And this [INAUDIBLE]
is called a rain stick.

-A rain stick.

-Palo de lluvia.

-Palo de lluvia.

-Mhm.

-And how do I know when
to do this for your song?

-OK.

You're going to lead
the song right now.

So you're going
to turn it around.

Start with the of rain,
and then we'll follow you.

And then the rain will stop
for the rest of the song?

OK.

-Well, let me get my maracas.

-[INAUDIBLE].

-Excuse me.

-Oh, and what are these
you're going to pay?

Maracas.

-Ah, good.

-Yeah.

This has some stones inside.

-And so does this.

-Yeah.

-OK.

I'm ready.
-Ready.

Any time.

-[SINGING IN SPANISH]
don't know lot

-Oh, very nice.

-Thank you.

-That was wonderful.

You said [SPANISH].

Is that what you said?

-[SPANISH].

-[SPANISH].

-[SPANISH].

-Uh huh.

And what that means is
they're trying to grind corn.

And the way they do it is
they have a long instrument

similar to what you have there,
and they just crush the corn.

They beat it.

And you're encouraging them.

You're encouraging them.

You're telling them
him, give it the blow.

[SPANISH]

-Give it to them.

I love that part when you
said, la-la-la-la la-la-la-la,

la-la-la.

-[INAUDIBLE].

-Could we do that part together?

-Sure.

-I thought maybe if I
put this on the side,

I'd be able to go like that.

-Shake it.

-Is that good?

OK.

-[SINGING]

-Oh.

What a treat.

-Oh, bravo.

Bravo.

-Bravo to you all.

Thank you for that treat.

I hope to see you
again sometime.

-Definitely.
Thank you very much.

-Por supuesto.
Gracias.

-Thank you very much.

Gracias.

It was wonderful to be with you.

-Thank you very much.

-[INAUDIBLE].

-Thank you very much.

Bye bye.

-Oh, they play and sing so well.

-Aren't they wonderful?

-Oh, they are.

I'm thinking of having them
here in the bakery from time

to time to sing for people.

-Oh, that's a great treat.
-Thank you, Fred.

-See you, Don.

-You're always welcome.

OK.

Now let's see what
we can get you, hon.

-Isn't that fun?

A rump bump bump bump bump-bump.

I love to hear
them sing and play.

Now, that's a musical art
that many people like to do.

In fact, I'd like to make
some kind of a rhythm

rattle-- you know,
like that rain tube.

I think we could do that out
of some of my recyclable stuff

here.

I'll use one of these tubes
and maybe some-- you know,

we could put that on the end
like that with a rubber band.

I've got some beans here.

I could just put
those beans in there.

There.

That ought to be OK.

Make something out of
what you have at hand.

Let's make that rain tube.

You could make it go faster.

Good.

How about you try
clapping your hands-- dun.

One, two, three.

One, two, three, four, five.

Try that.

One, two.

One, two, three.

One, two, three, four, five.

How about that?

One, two.

One, two, three.

One, two, three, four, five.

That's good.

Bum, bum, bum, bum bum.

You can make up a song like
that, or with any numbers,

or any letters, or any notes.

Sure.

One, two.

Bum, bum, bum.

Here you are, fish.

I wonder if they hear-- they
must hear through the water.

Do they?

Have I ever shown you this?

This is an old cupboard
door that was thrown away,

and Chef Brockett found it
and painted this picture.

Isn't that great?

Yeah.

Chef Brockett's an artist
in many different ways.

We're all artists in
one way or another.

It's a good feeling when
we know we can make up

some wonderfully artistic
things ourselves.

[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.

It always gives
me a good feeling

to be able to be with you,
to share interesting things

with you, like
this and like this.

Remember about this?

And this.

You always make each
day a special day for me

by just your being yourself.

I like you just the way you are.

I'll be back next time.

Bye.
