[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-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?

How are you, neighbor?

Oh, I'm glad to be with you.

Can you imagine what
I brought in this bag?

I'll show you a
little bit of it.

It's something
that I need to take

to the kitchen to put together.

We'll do that together--
put it together together!

Hi, fish!

OK, here is the plastic plate.

And on top of that,
we will put this.

Look like a bowl?

With a cord, an electric cord.

Now this has to have
some water put in it.

So we'll get-- here's
a measuring cup.

Can you imagine what it is?

You'll see.

It takes about
four cups of water.

In this bottom bowl here.

Now, let's plug this in.

You have to be very
careful with this.

This is something for adults.

You ready for me to turn it on?

It's a fountain.

That's what it is.

It's a fountain,
and I can turn it

off, and then turn it on again.

See how the water comes
up and then falls down?

Oh, I think its beautiful.

Do you like looking
at fountains?

I know I do.

There are fountains in different
places all over the world.

Some are very big and some
are little, like this one.

Some have a lot of water and
some have just a trickle.

But they're all fountains.

Now, a friend of mine
sent me a videotape.

I want to show it to you.

And the videotape shows a
lot of different fountains

from around the world.

And this is a card
that says what

the fountains are,
where they are.

So let's just watch
this tape together--

fountains all around the world.

This is the Clarence Buckingham
fountain in Chicago, Illinois.

Isn't that beautiful?

Right in the city.

Rockefeller Center,
in New York, New York.

And the Tokyo Dome
in Tokyo, Japan.

Look at that water
moving like that.

And coming back.

Here's a fountain
in front of a church

in San Francisco, California.

A fountain in the park
near the Arc de Triomphe

in Paris, France.

Fountain in the
harbor-- Oslo, Norway.

Saint Peter's Square
in Rome, Italy.

Here's a fountain in
Monte Carlo, Monaco.

The Los Angeles Music
Center fountain,

in Los Angeles, California.

And a lovely fountain
in Paris, France again.

A fountain in Newport
Beach, California.

Here's one in front
of the Metropolitan

Museum of Art in New York.

This is the Crown Prince
Fountain in Tokyo, Japan.

And Point State Park in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Beautiful water
all over the world.

I love to see those fountains.

Let's turn ours on again.

I think I'd like to show you
something in the bathroom.

I'd like to show
you something here.

Now just watch.

See that water going
down the drain?

There is goes, right
down that drain.

And over here-- watch this
water go down this drain.

OK.

Now, water goes down
the drain, and soap suds

go down the drain.

But people-- people can
never go down the drain.

[SINGING] You can never go
down, can never go down,

can never go down the drain.

You can never go down,
can never go down,

can never go down the drain.

The rain may go down-- and
the water and the soapsuds,

and all that-- but
you can't go down.

You're bigger than
any bathroom drain.

You can never go down, you
can never go down the drain.

Yeah, you're bigger
than this drain,

or this one, or this one.

Let's have some make believe.

All right?

Come along.

We'll get the trolley.

OK, trolley.

[TROLLEY BELLS]

-Let's pretend
something about water

in the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.

OK, trolley?

Ready?

All All right.

Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

[TROLLEY BELLS]

-I'm fine, trolley.

How are you?

[TROLLEY BELLS]

-King Friday and
I have a meeting.

[TROLLEY BELLS]

-Yes, it's always interesting.

[FANFARE]

[TROLLEY BELLS]

-Same to you, trolley.

-Mayor Maggie, I presume?

-Correct as usual, King Friday.

-Enough pleasantries, I
shall get right to the point.

-The point of what, King Friday?

-The point of our meeting.

-Very well.

-I have decided to give you
and Westwood a royal gift!

-Oh really?

How kind of you, King Friday.

-Very kind.

-Yes, how very kind of you.

But, what is the royal gift?

-I shall give it to you when
you have guessed what it is.

-Guessed what it is?

-That's all.

Simply guess what
I'm going to give you

and I will give it to you.

-Any hints?

-It's something beautiful.

-Something beautiful.

Your crown?

-Of course not, Mayor Maggie.

Now guess again.

-Is it the sky above the castle?

-Well, you have your
own sky in Westwood.

-Indeed we do.

But um-- what about Miss
Paulificate's feather duster?

-Why, what made you think of--
Miss Paulificate, I presume.

-Correct as usual, King Friday.

And I've already dusted it off.

-Now don't tell Mayor
Maggie what you dusted.

-Very good, sire.

-Is it something beautiful?

-Well, it is when it's working.

-When it's working?

Hmm.

-Miss Paulificate, you may
give it to Mayor Maggie

once she has guessed what it is.

We're getting a new one.

-Very good, sire.

-Farewell, Mayor and Miss P.

-Farewell, King Friday.

-So, it's beautiful
when it's working--

-Right.

It has water that
falls from the top.

It re-circulates, and
the water keeps falling.

-Water falling.

-You guessed it!

You did say
"waterfall," didn't you?

-I said "water falling."

-That's it!

That's it.

The waterfall is yours.

-Ah, why-- I don't
know what to say.

-[SINGING] Thanks
for the waterfall.

That's enough.

And, it's freshly dusted.

-Thanks for the
dusted waterfall.

-Oh, you're welcome.

And, I'll see you
later, Mayor Maggie.

-Farewell, Miss Paulificate.

-Farewell!

-Hmm.

Well, I guess a
waterfall needs water.

Maybe the Platypus
family has some water.

-Hey there, toots!

-Oh hello there, Lady Elaine.

-It looks like you
have something,

and it looks like
you need something.

-I have a waterfall
and no water.

-Well, you've come to
the right place, toots.

I have plenty of water.

Now you hold it,
and I'll turn it on.

-Wait a minute,
Lady Elaine I don't

know where to put the water.

Oh!

Oh!

Turn it off, Lady Elaine.

Stop!

The water!

-What's wrong?

-I don't know what to
do with all this water.

-Oh, OK.

Sorry about that, toots.

-Mind if I leave this here
while I go get dried off?

-Oh sure, go into the
D room, right inside.

-That's D for dry?

-You've got it.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Well now, I wonder
how this really works.

I guess if you push something.

-Something new?

-Oh!

You scared me.

-Sorry, Lady Elaine.

Just wondered what
you were doing.

-It's an old waterfall.

-Whose is it?

-Well it's not mine.

-Just whom I was looking for.

-Oh, I'm really glad to see you!

This waterfall's
for us in Westwood.

-No kidding?

Wow, it's nice.

How does it work?

-It needs water.

-Should I turn
the hose on again?

-I don't think so.

-What's wrong with
turning on the hose?

-This mayor gets wet.

That's what's wrong.

-Oh, did you ever
try one of these?

-Well, how does it work?

-I just put it on your hose.

-Should I turn on the water?

-Oh, no.

Not til I get it on.

There.

Now you can turn on the water.

-All right.

There.

-But it's not on.

-Ah, but it is.

Watch.

-Hey!

That is a great contraption!

Uh, could I try it?

-Surely, yeah.

-Let's see here now.

-Lady Elaine, your water
is squirting everywhere!

-Oh dear.

-We're very sorry,
Miss Paulificate.

Let us help you.

-Easy does it now, Lady Elaine.

-OK.

-We'll be back for the
waterfall in a few.

And you may keep the
nozzle, Lady Elaine.

-Oh thanks, toots!

And happiness to you
in your life ahead!

-Thanks!

-Oh boy!

-It looks like it was
raining over here.

-Yes.

-Squirted water rain.

-Stop, Lady Elaine!

Oh!

-Go, trolley!

[TROLLEY BELLS]

-At first, Lady Elaine
was trying to be a help.

But later, she
kept squirting when

she wasn't supposed to squirt.

What do you think will happen?

Now, we'll make up more
about that story next time.

Right now, the fish
need some food.

Here you are, fish.

Such beautiful fish,
in their water.

Looks what's here.

These six letters
together spell friend.

F-R-I--

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

-Let's see who's at the door.

Maybe it's a friend.

It is.

-Speedy Delivery, friend!

We've been friends
for a long time.

-We surely have, Mr. McFeely.

-And sometimes,
friends wear raincoats.

-Yes-- are you trying
to tell me something?

-I certainly am.

Speedy Delivery!

-[LAUGHS]

-It's a video-- how
people make raincoats.

Would you like to see it?

-I would.

Could you tell us about it?

-I'll tell you all about it.

-Good.

-Put it on Picture Picture.

-Let's take it-- let's
have these friends

take it to Picture Picture.

-There you go.

-Oh, how people make raincoats.

How interesting.

All right.

Here we go.

How people make raincoats.

MR MCFEELY: Now when
people make raincoats,

they start with a special
fabric that helps keep you dry.

The fabric comes on
big rolls like these.

MR ROGERS: They are big rolls.

Look at all that fabric!

MR MCFEELY: It takes
a lot of fabric

to make enough raincoats for
all the people who need them.

MR ROGERS: What are
these people doing?

MR MCFEELY: Well, these
women are spreading

the fabric out
onto a long table.

MR ROGERS: And then
what do they do with it?

MR MCFEELY: Together, they
cut it to just the right size.

You'll see in a moment.

They're getting it ready to cut.

MR ROGERS: Snip, snip, snip.

Are they going to
meet in the middle?

Aha.

MR MCFEELY: Then they
put down more fabric

on top of this piece, and
cut it just like before.

MR ROGERS: Well,
why do they do that?

MR MCFEELY: So
they can make more

than one raincoat at a time.

You see, each long
piece of fabric

is enough to make one raincoat.

MR ROGERS: Aha.

And what are those?

MR MCFEELY: It's a clamp that
holds the fabric in place.

Next , they put a
pattern over the fabric.

A pattern is a
drawing that shows

all the parts of the
raincoat-- like the front,

and the back, and the sleeves.

MR ROGERS: Oh, I
see what you mean.

MR MCFEELY: And now it's time
to use the electric knives

to cut the different
size pieces.

They'll sew them together
to make the raincoats.

MR ROGERS: Those
are electric knives?

MR MCFEELY: They're
electric knives.

MR ROGERS: It's interesting
to watch, isn't it?

They work very
carefully, don't they?

MR MCFEELY: Oh
they certainly do.

It takes a lot of practice to
be able to do that cutting well.

MR ROGERS: I guess so.

My, it's fascinating!

MR MCFEELY: She's almost
through cutting the pieces.

MR ROGERS: Now what?

MR MCFEELY: Well, when all
the pieces have been cut,

this woman folds them and
puts them together in a pile.

MR ROGERS: Is that the belt?

MR MCFEELY: Oh, no.

It's just a leftover
piece of fabric

that's used to tie
the pieces together.

MR ROGERS: And those are enough
pieces to make one raincoat?

MR MCFEELY: That's right.

It's time to sew
everything together now.

And this woman unties
the bundle of pieces,

takes them apart, and
then begins to sew.

MR ROGERS: Boy,
she works quickly.

MR MCFEELY: Oh yes, she does.

She's probably made
many, many raincoats.

MR ROGERS: I wonder if she
ever thinks of all the people

who will wear the raincoats
she helps to make.

MR MCFEELY: I know I
would if I were she.

MR ROGERS: Now it's
really beginning

to look like a raincoat.

I see the sleeve.

MR MCFEELY: I do too!

This woman operates
a tape machine.

MR ROGERS: Tape machine?

MR MCFEELY: Yes.

You see, all the
places where the pieces

have been sewn together
are called seams.

MR ROGERS: Seam?

MR MCFEELY: Yes.

Each seam needs to be covered
with a special tape that

will protect it from the rain.

Here's how it works--
The tape and the fabric

are heated, and then pressed
together by that roller.

MR ROGERS: It's really
taking shape, isn't it?

Are those the
finished raincoats?

MR MCFEELY: Oh, not quite.

A few more things
need to be added.

Now, can you guess which
piece she's sewing?

MR ROGERS: Is it the collar?

MR MCFEELY: Right you are!

She's adding some black
cloth around the outside edge

for some decoration.

MR ROGERS: There's some
collars, ready to go on coats.

MR MCFEELY: And this woman
sews the collar to the coat.

MR ROGERS: I never knew it took
so many people, and so much

careful sewing,
to make raincoats.

MR MCFEELY: You learn
something old every day!

MR ROGERS: That's for sure.

MR MCFEELY: After
she's finished sewing,

she cuts off any extra
pieces of thread,

and then checks her work to be
sure everything is just right.

Finally, this person
puts on the snaps

for closing and
opening the raincoat.

The machine presses
the snaps into place.

First, the bottom
part of each snap

is added down one side, and
then the top part of the snap

down the other side.

Now the raincoats are finished.

This woman carefully
folds each one.

She puts it into a plastic
bag, and then into this box.

And that's how people
make raincoats!

-Thank you very
much, Mr. McFeely!

-Oh, you're welcome.

I thought you would enjoy to
see how people make raincoats.

-Yes.

I'd like to show you
something in the kitchen.

Do you have a minute?

-I do.

-Right over here.

-Oh, it's a miniature fountain.

How does it work?

-You just turn--

-Turn that switch!

-Uh huh.

-Why, that's wonderful!

You know something?

-What?

-Betsy would love to see this.

-Mrs. McFeely?

-That's right.

May I take it and show it to
her-- and I'll bring it back?

-Of course, you may borrow it.

-What's the-- how
do we carry it?

-Well first of all, I'll
need to turn it off.

Unplug it there.

-OK, there you go.

-That's it.

You have to be very careful
with such a thing, you know.

-Shall I hold the top part?

-Get all the water in there.

-All righty.

-That part.

Now I'll need to pour this out.

There's the water going
down the kitchen drain.

-Another waterfall!

--[LAUGHS] Now, do you
want to use the bag?

-Yes, it would be
easier to carry.

-OK, let's put this in first.

-All right.

Here we go.

-And then this one.

-Then I'll put the-- this part--

-Put those in.

-Right there.

-Now you have another
Speedy Delivery bag.

Oh, do you need this?

-No, we have one
of those at home.

So we don't need
that, thank you.

-All right, fine.
I'll just leave it.

-Well, I'll be off.

I'll take this and
show it to Betsy.

And remember [SINGING] If
there's anything you want,

if there's anything you
need, McFeely's delivery

brings it to you
here with speed.

Yes, our Speedy Delivery
is a speedy delivery.

Speedy Delivery to you!

Speedy Delivery!

-Friend.

-Friend.

Well thank you, friend, for the
fountain and the friendship.

And I'll see you around
the neighborhood!

-Thank you, Mr. McFeely.

-Bye bye!

-[SINGING] Speedy
Delivery to you.

Would you pretend
that you're moving

like water in a fountain?

Just with your arms and hands.

And how would you do that?

Something like this?

You can make up your
own way of doing that.

Move around, move up and down.

It's always good
to visit with you.

I come here, I go
away, and I come back.

It's always good to come back.

[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.

[SNAP] [SNAP]

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.

We'll have a lot of things to
talk about next time, won't we?

Now I brought something today
with me-- Oh, Mr. McFeely took

it to show to Mrs.
McFeely-- the fountain!

I'll be back next time, bye bye!
