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.

Glad we're together again today.

Do you know what this is?

Do you know what might be
under this paper and ribbon?

Well, it's something that
has leaves, and it grows,

and it doesn't make much noise.

Let's take it to the kitchen.

I'll open it out there.

You ready?

Take the ribbon off.

It's a plant.

See how beautiful
the leaves are here?

Look at these leaves.

Each one is different,
and yet, they're

all part of the same plant.

I think they're beautiful.

Plants seem to be very quiet.

But you know something?

Even when we're not looking
or listening to them,

plants are still growing.

Just like people.

People keep growing
all the time,

even when we're not
looking or listening.

Mhm.

[SINGING] You're growing.

You're growing.

You're growing in and out.

You're growing.

You're growing.

You're growing all about.

Yes, you are.

[PHONE RINGING]

Oh, there's the telephone.

Let's see who that is.

Hello?

Oh hello, Mr. McFeely.

No, I haven't gone yet.

Later would be fine.

Well, I'm glad you found it.

Thanks very much.

All right.

See you later.

Bye-bye.

That was Mr. Mcfeely.

He has something for us to see.

But before that, I want you
to go somewhere with me.

It's a place where
people are learning

to use ribbons in
very beautiful ways.

Let's just go there now, and
I'll clean up here later.

Come along.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

the girls down there?

Yes, to getting ready
for the next one.

Oh, Mr. Rogers, hi.

-I'm glad to see you.

-So nice to see you.

-Good to see you.

I'd like you to
know my television

neighbor, Milla Kogos.

-Oh, that was
wonderful to see you

all doing those
beautiful movements.

-Yeah, we try to
do it really good.

And then down.

Very pretty.

I loved it.

-Well, I loved what
you all were doing,

but I didn't see any ribbons.

-You know why?

MR: ROGERS: Why?

-Because usually we start
any kind of exercises

without the ribbon because
we're warming up first.

-Oh, it's a warm-up time.

-Yeah, it's a warm-up time.
-I see.

So you do all of
these exer-- and I

saw you get clear down
here like that, you know.

-Yes, but the ribbons, it's
the next part of our class.

-I look forward to
seeing those ribbon.

-OK.

-OK.

I'll get a couple for us.

-Oh, for us?

-Yeah, we'll try them.

-Oh, good.

How did she say?

Like this?

Can you do that?

Can you go down like
that on your knees?

-OK.

So are are two of them.

Usually, we are working with on.

But there are two just
for you to try for me.

OK.
-Oh, that's beautiful.

-You want to try?

-Oh my, yes.

-OK.

-Sure, I'd love to try.

-OK.

-Now, how does it work?

-Ah, what hand are
you going to use?

Right hand, good.

OK.

Spirals first.

Spirals.

Yes, I know.

It's not easy.

It's not easy but you'll try.

Yes.

Good.

-Yeah?

-You're getting better
and better every second.

Good, good, good.

Raise your hand.

Yeah?

Yeah.

All right.

OK.

You tired already?

-And you seem-- oh, good.

You seem to keep
your arm straight.

-Straight, straight.

-Is that it?

-Yes.

OK.

The next one is the snake.

Snake.

-How do you do that?

Oh, back and forth.

-Just this way.

Yes, right.

Good.

Good, good, good.

You swirl just the same
hand you use before.

Good.

All right, and the figure eight.

Look at me.

Right and left.

Figure eight, right and left.

Good.

OK.

Getting better.

Uh-huh.

Hm, close, close, close, close.

OK, this way and that way.

-Have you always been
interested in such things?

-Yeah.
I love this.

-Even when you
were a little girl?

-Yeah.

I started when I
was six years old.

-Six?

-Yeah.

And I just loved it.

-And done all of these
rhythmic kind of gymnastics?

-Yeah, rhythmic gymnastics.

-Ah, it's so beautiful.

-It's a beautiful kind of sport.

-And the girls will be
doing some ribbons now?

-Yeah, they are.

-Oh good.

-They are getting ready.

-You think I could watch them?

-Oh, you can.

Sure.

-Where should I sit?

-You have to sit right there.

-OK.

-OK.

Girls, getting ready.

-All right.

I like this a lot.

Here?

-Yeah, right here.

-Oh, this is very nice.

I really like this.

-Ah, wait until you see
our girls with the ribbons.

-With the girls.

OK.

-Yeah.

Everybody ready.

[MUSIC PLAYS]

-That was wonderful.

Thank you very much, girls.

Wow.

Aren't they great?

-Yeah, they are.

-Oh my.

-And they have to
practice a lot still.

-They have to practice a lot?

Well, we all have
to practice a lot.

-Sure.

-And someday I hope that
I can practice with you.

Thank you very much.

I enjoyed watching you so much.

-OK.

You know what?

you keep it?

-May I have this one?

-Yes, you have this one.

-Oh, thank you.

-Yes, I want you to have
such a beautiful thing.

-Well, I'm so glad to-- what
are those two girls about to do?

-They are getting ready for
some little, little routine

with the ribbon.

You'll see they're beautiful.

-Could I see them before I go?

-Sure, sure.

-Oh, I'll just stay right here.

Let's watch them.

[MUSIC PLAYS]

Oh, we're they wonderful?

-They're working very hard.

-Oh I'm sure they are.

Looks like I have a lot
more practice to do.

-Always welcome to
our neighborhood.

-Oh, thank you, Milla.

-OK, see you.

-Bye, my dear.

-Bye-bye.

OK, girls.

One more time the chance.

Marsha first.

[MUSIC PLAYS]

-Isn't it beautiful
what people can

do when they have a good idea
and they practice it well?

Let's have some make-believe.

This is something that I
wouldn't do in the house,

so I'll just put it right here.

Last time, we pretended
that Henrietta

Pussycat got a big
bell for her tree.

Remember?

OK.

[BELL]

Yes, Trolley, I know.

Well, Henrietta
wanted to be sure

she had something loud enough
for people to call her,

and for her to call people.

Well, her neighbor,
X the Owl, thought

the bell sounded too loud.

So we can make-believe
some more about that.

And maybe something
about ribbons too.

Neighborhood of
Make-Believe, Trolley.

[BELL]

[BELL]

-How many times must
I tell you, Henrietta?

-Meow meow come.

-Why did you want me
to come this time?

Another drink of water?

-Meow.

Meow meow very important.

Very important.

-Well, what is it then?

[GRUMBLING]

-Oh.

Does that loud bell
hurt your ears, Bob Dog?

-Meow sorry.

Meow meow tell you
something meow meow secret.

-Oh, what?

What's your secret?

-Meow both promise
meow won't tell?

-Promise.

-Meow won't say a word, Bob Dog?

[MUMBLING]

-Meow meow things meow
other planets here.

-Things from other planets here?

What do you mean?

-Meow saw them.

Meow meow ring my bell.

-You're sure you
saw something, Hen?

-Meow don't tell meow meow body.

-I won't.

But I'm sure gonna
look for them myself.

-Meow meow word, Bob Dog.

-[MUMBLING] I won't say a word.

-Meow good.

Meow meow meow.

-But if you see anything
from another planet,

just ring Hen's bell, OK?

-OK, gotcha.

-OK.

-Meow meow.

-Oh, hello there, Bob Dog.

How are you?

[MUMBLING]

-You're not talking?

Any reason?

What's that?

You're not talking
because of this bell?

-Meow meow?

Meow meow matter?

-Hello there,
Henrietta Pussycat.

-Meow meow ring meow bell.

-Oh, uh, Bob Dog was showing
me why he wasn't talking.

-Meow meow secret.

-I see.

Well, I'm on my way to
visit Prince Tuesday,

so I'll just leave you
all with your secret, OK?

-Meow-K. Good for you, meow Dog.

Meow.

-See you later.

Doo.

Hm.

I wonder what that
secret's all about.

Well, hello there.

I don't think I've ever
seen a flying ribbon before.

Oh, just fine, thank you.

How do you do?

You are so graceful.

Incidentally, do you know
why Bob Dog won't talk?

It's a secret.

Yes, that's what they told me.

I hope it's not a scary secret.

-Looks like you've met Ribbon.

-Tuesday?

-Yes.

-I hardly recognized
you in that outfit.

-Well, Ribbon knew me,
didn't you, Ribbon?

-Oh, is Ribbon a
friend of yours?

-Oh, sure.

Even helped me
with this costume.

-That is a splendid costume.

-Will you please help
me put this cape on?

-Oh, surely.

So pretty.

-Thank you.

-Does that feel all right?

-It does.

-Good.

-Ah, do I look like I'm
from another planet?

ABER: Oh, you surely do.

-Good.

Well, now I want to
sound different too.

-Well, how can you do that?

-HJ Elephant gave me
this to put on here.

ABER: Oh.

-Would you help me do it?

-I'll try.

-OK.

-Right here?

-Yes, please.

And now, all I have
to do is press this,

and I'll make a funny sound.

-OK.

-Ready?

-Ready.

[WHIRRING]

Would you do that again?

-Sure.

[WHIRRING]

[BELL]

-Oh, Henrietta's right, Bob Dog.

You better go hide so
they don't catch you.

Yeah, go, go, go.

Oh, you were right, Henrietta.

I'm scared too.

-Meow.

[BELL]

-Oh, I wonder if Trolley knows.

[WHISTLE]

-Oh, oh, it's just
a costume, Trolley.

-Oh, I'm just
dressed up, Trolley.

[WHISTLE]

-Oh, yes, Ribbon's
been helping us.

[WHISTLE]

That's for sure.

-Bye, Trolley.

[BELL]

-So now Henrietta, and
X the Owl, and Bob Dog

are scared of something.

What do you suppose it is?

I think they'd feel better
if they could talk about it,

rather than have to
keep it such a secret.

But wasn't it fun
to see that ribbon

moving by itself
in Make-Believe?

Do you ever make up your own
pretend things like that?

Imagination helps in all
your play, and all your work.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Oh, there's somebody
at the door.

It's Mr. McFeely.

I was hoping it would be you.

-Speedy Delivery to you.

Is this a better time
now to watch the video?

-It's a perfect
time, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, here it is--
How People Make Ribbon.

-How People Make Ribbon.
-That's right.

-Will you tell us about it?

-I'll tell you all about it as
we watch it on Picture Picture.

-Very good.

We'll see how
people make ribbon.

MR: MCFEELY: When
people make ribbon,

they start with plastic pellets.

First, white ones.

Now this man adds
some green pellets.

MR. ROGERS: So they're
making green ribbon?

MR: MCFEELY: That's right.

And now he sets up
the machine to mix

the two colors of
pellets together.

MR. ROGERS: Are those
glasses to protect his eyes?

MR: MCFEELY: Yes, they are.

When the pellets are
finished being mixed,

he presses a switch, and
they pour out of a chute

and into this giant bin.

MR. ROGERS: That's a lot of
plastic pellets, Mr. McFeely.

MR: MCFEELY: It takes lots of
them to make lots of ribbon.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, look at that.

MR: MCFEELY: Well, this
man uses a forklift

to take the bin filled
with pellets to a machine

where they'll be
made into ribbon.

MR. ROGERS: I'd
like to watch that.

MR: MCFEELY: Mhm.

Now watch what happens.

Onto the machine goes the bin.

MR. ROGERS: Oh,
and are they going

to go down into that other bin?

MR: MCFEELY: That's right.

But first, this man
checks to be sure

that the bin is on just right.

MR. ROGERS: Oh, look
at him climb up there.

MR: MCFEELY: From
there, the pellets

drop down into this machine
where they meld, and are formed

into a long, wide
sheet of plastic.

MR. ROGERS: Is that it?

It looks like a big sheet
of paper, not ribbon.

MR: MCFEELY: Oh,
you're right, it does.

But just wait.

The sheet of plastic moves
into this tub of water.

MR. ROGERS: And
what happens there?

MR: MCFEELY: It cools off some.

And up it goes onto big rollers.

As the sheet travels
over the big rollers,

it's stretched and
heated once again.

Next, the sheet is
wrapped into a big spool

at the end of the machine.

MR. ROGERS: That is a
big spool of ribbon.

Wow.

I wonder how much it weighs.

MR: MCFEELY: I'm not sure,
but I know it weighs a lot.

In fact, it's so
heavy, this man needs

the help of this
machine to lift it up.

Now watch carefully.

When the two rollers
come together,

a blade will zip across
and cut the plastic.

There it is.

MR. ROGERS: Whoo.

That is fast.

Wow.

MR: MCFEELY: Now it's time for
the sheet to become ribbon.

It's loaded onto this machine.

And as it moves through
the machine, lots of blades

slice the plastic
into thin strips.

You see the thin strips?

MR. ROGERS: Yeah.

Now it looks like ribbon.

It's so pretty, those
dancing ribbons.

MR: MCFEELY: Yes, it is pretty.

More big rolls of ribbon.

First, this man puts a
piece of tape on the roles.

And he cuts the tape so
there's a piece on each role.

MR. ROGERS: Well,
why does he do that?

MR: MCFEELY: You'll see.

And now he cuts the ribbon.

After the ribbon
is cut, the tape

helps keep the
ribbon on the roll.

MR. ROGERS: I see what you mean.

Look at that hand truck.

MR: MCFEELY: Yes.

He uses that to take the rolls
of ribbon to one more machine.

And this woman loads
each one onto the machine

where the ribbon gets
wrapped onto smaller rolls

like the ones we
see in the stores.

Just watch.

MR. ROGERS: Mhm.

MR: MCFEELY: This
is my favorite part.

See the smaller rolls?

MR. ROGERS: Mhm.

Oh, I can see why
you like this part.

MR: MCFEELY: And then down
it goes into this box.

And that's how
people make ribbon.

-And people do wonderful
things with ribbon.

-They certainly do.

And Speedy Delivery to you.

I have more deliveries to make.

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

-You're quite welcome.

I'm back to the
library, and I'll

see you around the neighborhood.

-All right.

-Bye-bye.

-Bye-bye, and thanks again.

MR. MCFEELY: You're welcome.

-Oh, we need to give
food to the fish.

Mustn't forget our fish.

There you are, fish.

Take our ribbon, and this.

You know what's in here now.

Mhm.

I was just thinking, you
know, if you had all the toys

in the world, and you didn't
have any imagination about how

you'd play with them,
those toys would

just sit there, doing nothing.

And that would be no fun.

Thinking up good
things to do with what

you have gives everybody
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.

Come on, plant and ribbon.

I'll be back next time.

Bye-bye.
