[THEME MUSIC]

-[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,

what a neighborly
day for a beauty.

What 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 neighborhood.

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

won't you be my neighbor.

Hi neighborhood.

I'm glad we're
together again today.

Did you see what came
swimming in with me today?

A neighbor of mine made this
fish from one piece of paper.

Mmhmm.

And as soon as we hear
from Ben Gonzales,

we're going to visit him
so we can meet him and see

some other paper
sculptures he's made.

In the meantime, let's show
this fish to our live fish.

C'mon, fish, we'll swim on over.

Some fish need to be in water.

Paper fish don't.

Just pretend.

Some fish need food.

Other fish don't.

Do you like to play with
things and make up stories?

I know I do.

[PHONE RINGING]

-Oh, there's somebody
at the phone.

Hello?

Oh, yes.

Well, we'll be over in a minute.

Thanks very much.

That was my neighbor,
Ben Gonzales,

the person who sculpted
this paper fish.

He's ready for us to visit him.

So I'll return the fish to him,
because he loaned it to me.

Come along.

We'll visit our
neighbor Ben Gonzales.

I think I'm gonna like today.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Here we are.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

-Hello.

-Welcome.

So glad to see you.

-Thank you.

I'd like you to know
my television neighbor.

-Hi.

-Mr. Ben Gonzales.

-Would you like
to see my studio?

-I would.

I'll follow you.

I really enjoyed
playing with this fish.

I showed it to my
live fish, you know,

and I thank you for
loaning it to me.

-I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Would you like to
have this fish?

-Would I like to have it?

-Yes.

-Oh, I certainly would.

Thank you very much.

-I like to share
some of my handiwork.

-Well, you surely do.

OK, we'll be able to
go home together again.

I want to see some
more of your handiwork.

This-- this looks
like a giraffe.

-It is a giraffe.

-Now is that all one
piece of paper, too?

-It is one piece of paper.

Let me show you.

You put it this way.

Exactly one piece of paper.

-Isn't that amazing?

One piece of paper.

And then you just
fold it back that way,

and it looks like
a giraffe again.

-And then you fold
it next like this,

because when you fold
something, it gets very strong.

-Oh, you mean this makes the
leg strong enough to stand up?

-Stronger, yes.

-Aha.

So you fold something,
it makes it stronger.

This looks like a
stegosaurus here.

-It is, yes.

That's also one piece of paper.

-Wow.

Make all kinds of
dinosaurs, animals,

and-- now this looks very
much like an airplane.

-It is an actual
model of an airplane.

-And so you made that
out of paper looking--

-Yes.

-Even a propeller of paper.

-And the wheels, too.

-May I look at this turtle?

-Oh yes.

Definitely.

That's also one piece.

This is one.

-Oh, my my.

-Now the turtle has always


-Always?

-Always.

-A turtle has 13 plates?

-Yes, always 13.

-Oo.

And is this a swan?

-It's a swan.

Would you like to take it apart?

It's very simple.

-Really?

-Yes.

It's one piece of paper.

Go like this, and then
you separate the back.

It's one piece of paper.

-How did you learn to do this?

-I think it evolved gradually.

-Some people said to
me, is this origami?

It's not origami, is it?

-No.

It's gupit gupit.

-What, gupit?

-Gupit gupit.

-Gupit gupit.

What's that mean?

-It means "cut cut" in
the Philippine language.

-Cut cut.

Ah.

Gupit gupit.

Oh, and you gupit
gupit this, didn't you?

-Yes.

[LAUGHTER]

-That is one-- now
would you put it

together so we can see the swan?

-It's very simple.

I just insert this
like this, and then

I insert this in the back
like this without any gluing,

and push this down.

-Isn't that beautiful?

Now is this something
that children could do?

-Of course.

-Aha.

-So you've talked children.

Have you at different ages?

-Certainly, and I have some
samples there on the right.

-You mean children made this?

-Yes, older children.

This is ninth year.

Also older children.

-Now that looks like a star.

Did you tell them what to do?

-No, I did not.

As soon as they learned
how to make a simple star,

I told them to go ahead and
make their own creative star.

-Aha.

What were you working
on when I came in today?

-I was trying to make
this bird in here.

And then I'm going to show you.

I'm going to cut one for you.

-Really beautiful.

-And is this how you make it?

-Yes.

This is the same
bird, as you can see.

It's this way.

-Looks like a heart.

I wonder if I could watch you,
uh, gupit gupit one of these?

-Of course.

Would you like to sit down?

-Yeah.

-This one is already cut.

I'm just going to
finish cutting it.

-Looks like you move the paper
rather than moving your wrist.

-Yes.

You keep your hands
in the same position.

And then I just turn that
paper that way and this way.

Then I'm going to show
you how to score it.

-Score it?

-Yes.

You see that line down there?

-Oh yes.

-Yeah, and then you
fold it this way.

That makes the paper stronger,
and it gives it form and shape.

-Oh, so it helps you
to fold it, is that it?

By scoring it?

-Yes.

-Aha.

-I'm going to use a pair
of chopsticks to score it.

-Oh.

-Just like this.

That's done a bit hard to
make a mark on the paper.

But then I turn
the paper, I keep

the chopsticks in
the same position.

There.

-You're always moving the
paper rather than the--

-Then I start to fold it again.

-Oh, and there's
coming another bird.

-Another bird.

-Boy, I love your birds.

It even looks as if it can fly.

Beautiful birds you make.

-Would you like to have this
bird to go with your fish?

-Oh, I'd be very happy to have--
what a generous person you are.

-I like to share my things.

-Oh, well, thank you very much.

I'll take the fish
and the bird back.

Ready to come?

Thank you again, Mr. Gonzales.

You're a wonderful neighbor.

-Thank you, too.

-May I let myself out?

-Yes, you may.

-I know you have work to do.

Bye-bye.
-Bye-bye.

-See ya again.

Come along.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Isn't Mr. Gonzales
a generous person?

He says he likes to
share the things he knows

and the things that he makes.

Why don't you and I share
some make right now?

I'll get the trolley.

Hello trolley.

[TROLLEY BELLS]

-The problem in Make-Believe
is that Lady Elaine has been

taking other people's
things for an exhibit

at her museum-go-round.

She plans to give the things
back after the exhibit,

but she never asked people
if she could borrow them.

Let's think more about that as
the trolley goes by the castle

in the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.

[TROLLEY BELLS]

[SINGING]

-[SINGING] So very possaline,

-But Edgar, what
were you singing

about your refrigerator?

-[SINGING] My
refrigerator is gone.

It's hard to believe, but it's
gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

-You mean, your real
kitchen refrigerator?

-[SINGING] Yes, the one
with all the food in it.

The one that looks like that.

That's it.

-Oh my.

-[SINGING] Oh, Lady Aberlin,
will you help me find it?

-Certainly.

I will look for it, Edgar Cooke.

-[SINGING] Oh, thank you,
thank you, thank you.

-[SINGING] You're
welcome, welcome, welcome.

So now we look for
the king's crown,

the Westwood town
sign, Corney's block

rocker- no, we now know
for sure where that is.

And Edgar Cooke's refrigerator.

Cousin Betty?

Oh, Cousin Betty?

-Is that you, Tuesday?

Where are you?

TUESDAY: Over at Daniel's clock.

-Oh, I thought you
sounded far away.

TUESDAY: Can you
please come over?

-Sure.

I'm on my way.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Oh, hi cousin.

-Hi, Looker Lion.

You still have your costume on.

-Guess what .

-What?

-The worst of all has happened.

-What has happened?

-Daniel's favorite
truck is missing.

-No.

-Yes.

And he's really sad about it.

-Is he inside his clock?

-Yes.

He's been crying.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

-Daniel?

Daniel, it's your
friend, Lady Aberlin.

Oh, Daniel, Tuesday told
me about your truck.

-I was taking good care of
it, but it just disappeared.

-Well, we are going to find
it, aren't we, Tuesday?

-Yes, we are, and we are
going to find it right away.

-Oh, thanks.

You two are such good friends.

I'm sorry I'm so sad.

-Oh, Daniel.

[SINGING] Please
don't think it's

funny when you
want an extra kiss.

There are lots
and lots of people

who sometimes feel like this.

Please don't feel
it's funny when

you want the ones you miss.

There are lots
and lots of people

who sometimes feel like this.

-Are you ready to go
to the museum, cousin?

-I am.

-Well, I'll wait here just
in case my truck comes back.

-We'll see you later, Dan.

-OK, and thanks.

Thank you both.

Thanks.

-Wanna walk with me?

-Oh, I'll meet you there.

I'm going to do some
looking on the way.

-All right, Royal Lion, I'll
see you at the museum-go-round.

-OK, cousin.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[BELL RING]

-Well, it's you
again, isn't it, dear?

It's always such a
treat to see you.

I mean, you're a
sight for sore eyes

and a joy for sorrowful ears.

And I must say, Elainey
has been keeping

me so busy I haven't
had a minute to myself.

How are you?

-Well, I'm about the same as
I was before, except that now

we've discovered some
other missing things.

-Such as?

-Such as Edgar
Cooke's refrigerator.

-Oh, that looks familiar.

-And Daniel's favorite truck.

-Oh, I saw it.

It's inside.

She's got it.

-Betty.

This truck goes in
the tea room, toots.

Well, well, well.

A lion and a maiden.

You want to be in my exhibit?

-Lady Elaine, that
truck belongs to Daniel.

-I know.

And he'll get it back
after the exhibit.

Everybody will get
their stuff back.

-Yes, but I suggest
you ask everyone

whether you ought to be allowed
to keep it here over night.

-Oh, I'm too busy
for that, toots.

-I'm angry about the
truck, Auntie Lady Elaine.

-Well, it's not
your truck, Tuesday.

-But it's my friend's truck,
and he's been missing it.

-Oh.

Never thought of that.

-You're going to have to
think before you take, Lainey.

That's what I keep
saying to you,

and I wonder when the day will
roll around when you'll take

these wise words of
mine to your heart.

Think before you take, hon.

Really.

-OK.

Here, take this back to Daniel.

It's his truck.

And tell them I'm sorry.

-You'll need to do that
yourself, Lady Elaine.

-Oh, this is all such a bother.

I guess I'm going to have
to take everything back.

-OK.

OK.

tomorrow.

I'll do it tomorrow.

I don't think I'll ever have
another exhibit like this

again.

-Hopefully not this kind.

-Yeah, OK.

-You never know what a day will
bring in Make-Believe, do you,

dear?

-No, you don't.

All you can do is
help for the best,

and do your best
to make it happen.

-I'm going to go tell
Daniel that everything

is going to be OK.

-Now those are my
exact sentiments.

In fact, I couldn't
have said it better.

I was telling my
daughter the other day,

just hope for the best and do
your best to make it happen,

and everything will be OK.

Really, I did.

[TROLLEY BELLS]

-Oh, there's the trolley.

Thanks for your help, Betty.

See you.

Later.

-Oh, you're ever so welcome.

I just love doing
what I can to moderate

a piece of a solution
[VOICE FADES AWAY].

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Yes, she's giving
everything back

after the exhibit, trolley.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Prince Tuesday's talking to
Daniel about it right now.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-I'll say.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Thanks, trolley.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Now we know for sure that Lady
Elaine has all those things,

and she'll be giving them back.

Daniel was really
sad about his truck.

That reminded me of a toy I had
when I was little-- a soft toy.

I just took it
everywhere with me.

Somehow it helped my feelings.

[SINGING] Please
don't think it's

funny when you
want an extra kiss.

There are lots
and lots of people

who sometimes feel like this.

Please don't think
it's funny when

you want the ones you miss.

There are lots
and lots of people

who sometimes feel like this.

It's true.

[KNOCKING AT THE DOOR]

-Oh, there's
somebody at the door.

Let's see who it is.

Our friend, Mr. McFeely.

Come in, Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy delivery to ya.

-When did I order this?

-Oh no, I just thought
you'd like to have one.

-A fig bar.

I really do like fig bars.

I'll eat this later.

Thank you.

-Well, you're quite welcome.

How would you like
to see how people

make fig bars in a factory?

-Do you have time to show us

-I do.

We'll do it on Picture Picture.
There you go.

-Very good.

-Let's do that know.

-All righty Great.

How people make fig bars.

Watch that together.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MR MCFEELY: To make fig bars,
people use this big mixer

to mix together the
ingredients that

will make the outside
part of the bar.

And that's called the jacket.

Next, they add some sugar
and some more shortening.

MR ROGERS: That's a big
mixer there, isn't it?

MR MCFEELY: Oh yes.

It makes a lot of
dough for the bars.

MR ROGERS: What's
he putting in now?

MR MCFEELY: Well,
some corn syrup.

MR ROGERS: Oh, corn syrup.

MR MCFEELY: And when it's in,
he'll close the front door,

and he'll start the mixer.

There it goes.

Door is closing.

and it's mixing all up in there?

MR MCFEELY: Yup.

It's time to mix it all up.

That's what's happening.

When everything has
been mixed together,

they'll put the mixture
into this big, big container

called a trough.

Watch carefully.

He's opened the door, and
out will come the dough.

MR ROGERS: Look at all
that dough, Mr. McFeely.

MR MCFEELY: There's a lot there.

In fact, there's so much
dough that they'll fill up

another trough with
the rest of it.

MR ROGERS: Where
is he taking it?

MR MCFEELY: Oh,
you'll we'll see.

The dough is ready to be
loaded into another machine.

MR ROGERS: They work
carefully, don't they?

MR MCFEELY: Oh, yes they do.

MR ROGERS: Now what's that do?

MR MCFEELY: That's where
the dough will be shaped

into the outside of the fig bar.

And that machine is
called an extruder.

MR ROGERS: Extruder.

MR MCFEELY: Mmhmm.

That's what they
call that machine.

MR ROGERS: And what's this?

MR MCFEELY: That's fig jam.

It's the filling
inside of the fig bar.

Now you'll see it
here in a moment.

You see, there it is.

He's going to strap
the barrel to a lift.

MR ROGERS: Fig jam, you call it.

MR MCFEELY: Mmhmm.

And he uses an
electric lift to help

him raise the barrel-- going up.

Now watch this-- and dump the
jam into the extruding machine.

You see?

MR ROGERS: Oh, here it comes.

MR MCFEELY: This is
the fun part to watch.

MR ROGERS: Imagine
all that fig jam.

MR MCFEELY: And it
gets mixed up in here,

then travels through
this pipe and comes out

of the extruder in long strips.

MR ROGERS: Ribbons of fig jam.

MR MCFEELY: That's right.

Now on the other
side of the extuder,

the dough is being
wrapped around the jam

to make the fig bar.

MR ROGERS: You mean, the
jam's inside there now?

MR MCFEELY: That's right.

And there you have it-- 16 rows
of fig jam wrapped in dough.

You see, they're coming
out of the machine now.

MR ROGERS: Mmhmm.

MR MCFEELY: The
rows of filled dough

will ride on the conveyor
belt through a long oven

where they'll be baked.

There they are coming
out of the oven, you see?

MR ROGERS: Mmhmm.

So they've been baked already?

MR MCFEELY: Baked already.

MR ROGERS: And inside
is the fig jam.

MR MCFEELY: Fig jam.

Now as they start
to cool, they'll

continue the long ride
on the conveyor belt.

And soon, big rolling cutters
will slice them into fig bars.

There they are

MR ROGERS: Now they
look like fig bars.

Boy, do they look good.

That's one of my
favorite things to eat.

MR MCFEELY: Well, mine, too.

These woman work quickly to put
the bars into plastic trays.

They know just how
many go into each tray.

MR ROGERS: Looks like
they like their work.

MR MCFEELY: They're
laughing about something.

Then each tray of fig bars
is wrapped in plastic,

and that's what this
machine is doing right here.

Four trays are then
wrapped together

to make one package of fig bars,
just like we see in the stores.

MR ROGERS: Mmhmm.

MR MCFEELY: 12 packages of fig
bars are put into each box.

The boxes are taped
shut and stacked.

MR ROGERS: And the fig
bars are ready for people

everywhere to enjoy.

MR MCFEELY: Yes, they are.

-Thank you very
much, Mr. McFeely.

-Oh, you're welcome.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Right now, I have
more deliveries.

I have to return a
library book, so I'll

see you around the neighborhood.

-All right, thank you again.

-You're welcome.
Bye-bye.

-Good-bye.

I was just thinking if you
were right here with me,

I'd break this fig bar in
two, and give you half of it.

That would be sharing.

But since you're in your
place and I'm in mine,

I'm not able to do that.

But I can share ideas and
songs and stories and people

who do interesting
things with you.

There are many different kinds
of sharing in this world,

aren't there?

It's a good feeling
to be able to share.

[SINGING] It's such a
good feeling to know

you're alive, and 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,

a 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.

We always have things we
want to talk about, don't we?

Sure.

And you know you make
each day a special day

just by being yourself.

I'll be back next time.

Good-bye.
