[THEME MUSIC]

-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?

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!

Do you sometimes sing
that song with me?

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

I'm glad we're neighbors
again right now.

Wanted you to see
what's in this bag.

Not very heavy, nope.

Can you imagine what
might be in there?

Well, I'll show you.

Caps.

Now, this is a cap for a
person who likes to play ball.

See that?

And this is a cap for an artist
who likes to paint pictures.

And this is one for a pianist.

And this one is for a walker.

Maybe I'll just put
this one on and walk.

And this last one is for
someone who likes to read.

Reader-- this is a reader cap.

Now, I have some
things in the kitchen

that go with these caps.

I brought them earlier, and I
want to show them to you now.

They are words.

A word for each one.

See, this one is reader.

And I'll put it on back here.

Reader.

See the picture of the reader?

The word, reader.

OK.

There's reader.

Now, this one is walker.

Walker.

Walker.

Walker.

This one's pianist.

Pianist.

Artist.

Artist.

Ball.

Ball.

And there they are,
all five of them.

Could you make up a
story about someone

who likes to play
ball, and an artist,

and a piano, and a
walker, and a reader?

Just think of how they
might meet some day

and how they might
play together.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Oh, there's somebody
at the door.

Let's see who that is.

It's Maggie Stewart!

Maggie, come in!

-Hello, Fred!

-How good to see you.

-Oh, it's nice to
see you today too.

-Do you have time to visit?

-I do.

-Come in!

-I was thinking of a song--

-A song?

-And I wanted to
sing it for you.

-Oh, what a great surprise.

-And I'm going to
sign it and sing it.

-Sign it.

and sing it.

Good.

[SINGING] Today is new.

It's new to everyone you meet.

It's new to you.

The houses on the street
are waking up now.

Today is up now.

-Up now.

-Today is new.

It's new with time and space
and things we want to do.

The sparrow tries
its wings, and sings

a new song, a just-for-you song.

We know each morning
brings a brand new day.

And though we sometimes wish
fore yesterday, today is new.

It's new to everyone who lives.

It's new to you, to every
one you give a bit of you to.

Today is new, too.

And we won't waste a
minute feeling bad.

We can't, 'cuz we're
too busy feeling glad.

Today is new.

It's new to everyone you meet.

It's new to you.

What say we try to
greet it in a new way?

Say happy new day!

-Happy new day.

-Today is new!

-Oh, Maggie, what a gift!

Oh, that's beautiful.

-And every new day is a gift.

-It certainly is.

I'd like to give you something.

-All right.

-If you'd come to
the kitchen with me?

-Surely.

-Today is new.

-Today is new.

-Beautiful.

-[GASP]

-I have five caps here.

-I like to make these choices.

-Ball.

-Uh huh.

-Artist.

-Artist.

-Pianist.

-Pianist.

-Walker.

And reader.

-Ah, reader!

-And I'd like you to choose
which cap you'd like to have.

-Well, I like to read.

So--

-Is that how you say it?

-That's how you say read.

Here would be the book,
just like the picture there

is a book, and I'm
reading the book.

-So, the cap is yours.

I'll keep the word reader--

-All right.

-And you'll have the cap.

-I'm glad to have this cap.

And I thank you very much.

-And I thank you
for the happy song.

-The happy song, that's right.

You're always welcome
in this place.

-Thank you so much,
Mister Rogers.

We'll see you.

-Bye, my dear.

-Bye for now!

-This word reminds
me of something.

It reminds me that Lady Elaine
Fairchilde is supposed to start

her reading game show today, and
she wants HJ Elephant III to be

on her show, but he says he
doesn't know how to read well?

So, let's just make-believe
some more about that story,

as the trolley goes into the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

-Hi, Trolley!

And they all lived
happily ever after.

Good story, Mayor Maggie!

-Good job, HJ.

-Well, thanks.

-And that reminds me.

Lady Aberlin and I had an
idea about how you could

be on Lady Elaine's
reading game.

-But, you know I can't
read book words well.

I know, but we though--

-[GASP] Look!

They're advertising
even in the sky!

I'm outta here.

-Hi, Mayor Maggie!

-Hi, Handyman!

-Did you see that
airplane go by?

-I certainly did.

-How is HJ going to
be on The Reading Game

if he doesn't know how to read?

-I think he and I
could do it together.

-You do?

I'll be sure to
tune in for that.

Hey, in the meantime, here
are some words from Queen Sara

and Mr. McFeely,
if you need them.

-Pianist.

Walker.

Oh, those are fine
words, Handyman.

Thank you.

-You're welcome.

Daniel has some
words for you, too.

-Oh, good.

Now, if you see
HJ, please tell him

to meet me at the
museum-go-round.

I think it's all
gonna work out fine.

-OK, Mayor Maggie.

-OK, see ya, Handy!

-Bye.

-Hi, Mayor Maggie!

-Hi, Daniel!

-How are you?

-Oh, I'm well.

Beautiful day in
this neighborhood.

-Isn't it, though?

-Indeed it is.

Handyman Negri said you
had some words for me.

-Oh, I do.

Isn't this game show fun?

Did you see that airplane?

It was telling
everybody about it.

-Everybody who can read.

-Well, anyway, here are a couple
more words for you right here.

Ball.

-Ball.

-And artist.

-Artist.

Great words, Daniel.

I'll give them all
to Lady Elaine.

In fact, it looks as if she's
almost ready to begin her show.

-Oh, she's been
working so hard on it.

Yeah, may you all have a
wonderful show, Mayor Maggie.

-Thanks, Daniel!

See you next time!

-OK!

-OK!

-Bye!

-You like it, Prince Tuesday?

-Oh, Lady Elaine,
this is so exciting!

-Ah, well, what do
you think, toots?

What's that mean?

I don't know what you're saying.

-You don't read sign
language, Lady Elaine?

-No, haven't learned that yet.

-Well, this looks spectacular.

-Oh, I'm so glad you like it.

-I thought you might like me
to sign for your reading show.

-Oh, sure I would.

If we could only
find HJ Elephant III.

-You mean, Mayor Maggie
will sign the whole time?

-Of course.

Now get ready.

The Reading Game
is about to begin.

Put on your caps, now.

Yours first, HJ.

-Oh.

Thanks!

-Now we've all got them on.

-Isn't this exciting, HJ?

-Oh, I hope I can do it OK.

-Oh, we'll just do
the best we can.

That's all we can do.

-Thanks, Tuesday.

You're a good friend.

-Thanks.

-OK, now everybody, here
are the rules of the game.

Mayor Maggie will put a
word in the game slot,

and the word will
appear on the boards.

The first contestant to push
the buzzer and read the word

correctly gets a point.

If everybody's ready, let's
begin The Reading Game!

--[ALL SINGING TOGETHER]
The Reading Game,

The Reading Game,
it's the Reading Game.

The Reading Game, The Reading
Game, The Reading Game.

-OK, take it, Mayor Maggie!

-This first word is from
Daniel Striped Tiger.

[BELL]

[BUZZER]

-[TOGETHER] Ball.

-You're both correct.

One point each.

Mayor Maggie, the
next word, please.

-Here's another
word from Daniel.

[BELL]

-There it is.

-Oh!

[BUZZER]

-[TOGETHER] Artist.

-Artist!

Correct again!

You two are the best.

This is going to be a
tight game everybody,

right down to the wire.

-Hey, this is fun.

I'm learning myself.

-All right.

Now we have ball, and artist.

The next word
please, Mayor Maggie.

-Queen Sara offers this word.

[BELL]

-There it is.

-Oh!

[BUZZER]

-[TOGETHER] Pianist.

-Pianist!

This is astounding.

-Nice job, HJ!

-Aw, thanks Tuesday!

You too!

-The score is now
three to three.

And we are ready
for the final word.

We have ball and
artist and pianist.

And now, take it
away, Mayor Maggie!

-Here we go for the final word.

And this one from Mr. McFeely.

-Oh, I wonder what
word Mr. McFeely gave?

-We'll find out soon!

-Yep!

[BELL]

-There it is!

[BUZZER]

-[TOGETHER] Walker!

-Walker is right.

Ladies and gentlemen, this
is definitely a first.

Both contestants
read all four words.

The Reading Game
is proud of Prince

Tuesday and HJ Elephant III.

-Wait, wait a minute, everyone.

I wanna tell you something.

-What is it, HJ?

-I'm just starting
to learn how to read.

-What do you mean?

-It's true.

And I'm finding that it's more
fun than I thought it would be!

I already know ball,
artist, pianist, and walker!

-You mean, those are the
only four words you read?

-Got to begin somewhere.

-That's true.

-And something else.

-What?

-Here's what you are.

[BELL]

-[TOGETHER] Reader!

-Who would have thought?

Well, there you have it.

The Reading Game is
the place to begin.

Thank you, ladies and
gentleman, for watching.

Tune in next time
when celebrity readers

meet Betty Okonak Templeton.

You're always in for a great
treat here at The Reading Game!

-Oh, I'm so proud
of all of them.

-Yes, I am too.

Prince Tuesday and
HJ did very well.

-They certainly did.

-And I'm also proud
of our neighborhood,

Cornflake S. Specially.

Excellent machine, Cornflake.

-Oh, thank you, King Friday.

-You know, it certainly is.

And we're very proud of
your new rule, King Friday.

-Oh, you mean that no one may
use the Look Inside Machine

without a person's permission?

Ah, yes.

[INAUDIBLE]

[TROLLEY BELLS]

-That's right, Trolley!

-HJ Elephant was having fun
learning to be a reader.

Wasn't that fancy,
what Lady Elaine

had made for her
television show?

All those flashing
lights and things?

You could make up your
own television show,

and you could call
it whatever you want.

Sure!

I think maybe I'll just
put one of these on.

Ball.

That was their first word, ball.

OK, fish.

Some food for you.

You're hungry fish.

[CHUCKLES] I love to
watch them, carefully.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Oh, let's see who that is.

See who's at the door.

See if it's a reader.

Oh, it is.

It's Mr. McFeely!

-Speedy delivery!

-Are you a reader, Mr. McFeely?

-I'm a reader.

You look good in your ball cap.

-Oh, I like this.

Oh, did you find the tape?

-I found it.

Here it is.

How people make ball caps.

-Good.

Could we show it?

-We'll show it right now,
and I'll tell you about it.

-Good.

All right, let's put
it in Picture Picture.

-All righty.

-How people make ball caps.

I think maybe I'll put the
ball part right like that.

-And the ball caps
look something

like the one you're wearing.
-Oh, they do?

-That's right.
-Good.

-There you go.

-This kind.

Very good.

Now, let's watch it together.

How people make ball caps.

MR. MCFEELY: When
people make ball caps,

they start with a big
piece of material.

This man puts metal
shapes on to the material.

MISTER ROGERS: Metal shapes?

MR. MCFEELY: Metal shapes.

MISTER ROGERS:
What are they for?

MR. MCFEELY: You'll see.

And this machine
presses the shapes

through the material, which
cut the different pieces

just right.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh, those shapes
are like knives, or something.

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.
MISTER ROGERS: Oh.

MR. MCFEELY: You see how they
cut through the material?

MISTER ROGERS: Yes, I do.

What's he gonna do
with the pieces now?

MR. MCFEELY: Well,
he makes stacks

of all the different
pieces needed for the caps

so other people can
sew them together.

See, there he's making the
stacks of the different shapes.

Now, this woman takes
some of the pieces

and sews them together.

MISTER ROGERS: My, she
works quickly, doesn't she?

And carefully.

MR. MCFEELY: She certainly does.

When she has some of the sides,
front, and back together,

she's finished the crown.

MISTER ROGERS: You mean,
like a royal crown?

MR. MCFEELY: Well, sort of.

Except a royal
crown doesn't have

a visor on the front
like a ball cap does.

And that's what this
woman is making.

MISTER ROGERS: The visor.

MR. MCFEELY: The visor.

She sews two parts
together on one side.

MISTER ROGERS: It
looks like a moon.

MR. MCFEELY: Now
watch what she does.

MISTER ROGERS: What's that?

MR. MCFEELY: Well, she takes
a piece of curved plastic,

and she puts it inside.

Now watch.

And that makes the visor stiff.

MISTER ROGERS: I see.

It's sort of like the
plastic's going into a pocket.

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

Now, look what she does next.

She sews through both
pieces of material

to keep the plastic part
from moving around inside.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh, I see.

MR. MCFEELY: See?

MISTER ROGERS: Mm-hmm.

There they are.

Some visors.

MR. MCFEELY: This
next woman attaches

the sweatband and
visor to the crown.

MISTER ROGERS: One piece after
another getting sewn together.

MR. MCFEELY: Now that's
beginning to look like a cap.

MISTER ROGERS: Mm-hmm.

MR. MCFEELY: Now the
cap needs a button,

and this woman uses this
machine to put it on.

MISTER ROGERS:
Top of the button?

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

That's the end of this machine.

There's the button.

MISTER ROGERS: Well, does that
help keep the cap together?

MR. MCFEELY: That,
and all the thread

from the sewing machines.

Now this woman adds the
adjustable strap to the back.

There's one side--

MISTER ROGERS: Of
the adjustable strap.

MR. MCFEELY: Of the
adjustable strap.

And here comes the other one.

And there's the other.

And she snaps it together.

MISTER ROGERS:
Looks finished now.

MR. MCFEELY: Almost.

But this man has
to steam the cap

to take the wrinkles
out of the material.

MISTER ROGERS: Steam it?

MR. MCFEELY: Steam
it, that's right.

MISTER ROGERS: That
steaming must be very hot.

MR. MCFEELY: Oh it is,
but he's an expert,

so he knows how to
do it just right.

Now he'll do another one.

Checks it out.

And that's how people
make ball caps.

-Isn't that interesting
how all those people

work together to
make caps like these?

-I'm glad you enjoyed it.

-Oh, very much.

I have others in
the kitchen that I'd

like to show you-- other caps.

-All righty.

-This, of course,
is the ball cap.

And this one is an artist.

This one's a pianist,
and this one, a walker.

-A walker.

-And this word,
reader, was on a cap

that I gave to Maggie Stewart.

And I would like you to choose
one of these caps for yourself.

-I'd like that.

Now, let me see.

Uh, I like to play ball,
and I like to draw,

and I play the piano
just a little bit,

but the walker one is
the one I'll choose,

because in my delivery
service I do a lot of walking.

-Of course you do.

Well, I'll keep the word--

-All righty.

-And you'll have the cap.

-All righty.

I'll put it on, and--

-Walker you are.

-[SINGING] That's what you'll
get, that's what you'll get,

a speedy, speedy, delivery.

A speedy, speedy,
speedy, speedy delivery.

Speedy delivery to you!

Or I should say,
speeding walker.

-Speedy walker you are.

-I'm gonna walk over to the
neighborhood music shop.

I have more deliveries around
the neighborhood today.

-OK.

I'll walk over there
to the door with you.

-All righty.

And--

-Two walkers.

-Two walkers to the door.

And I'll see you around
the neighborhood.

Thank you for the cap!

-And thank you for the
speedy delivery film.

-Speedy walker.

Bye bye!

-Bye, Mr. McFeely.

Walker.

That's the one Mr. McFeely took.

And what does this say?

Reader.

That's the one that
Maggie Stewart took.

And we've got pianist, artist,
and ball all together here.

We can be learning things
all of our lives, can't we?

But do you know what?

The most important
things we learn

help us to love our neighbors.

[SINGING] It's such a good
feeling to know you're alive.

It's such a happy feeling,
you're going 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 week 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 all have things that
we'll want to talk about.

Sure.

That's what we do
when we get together.

We think about things,
and talk about things,

and care about each other.

So, I'll be back next time.

Goodbye!
