[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 beautywood,

a neighborly day for 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.

[SPEAKING] Hi, neighbor.

Glad we're together again.

Can you imagine what
might be in this bag?

It's fairly heavy, and it's
something that I can pour,

but it's not a liquid
like water or milk.

Shall I open it and pour it?

Well, I'll have to go outside
to do that, through the kitchen

and out the back door.

Does that give you a hint?

Let's do it.

I'll be back later, fish.

Sand table.

Sand.

That's what it is-- sand.

So I'll pour this sand
into the sand table.

I just needed a
little extra here.

And save the bag.

I love sand.

In fact, it's fun to do
things like that with it.

Play with the trucks.

It feels good, too.

You know, sometimes, I
just like to look carefully

at sand like this and
think of the many things

that people do with it.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-So many fine things
we can do with sand.

I think I'll just take a--
a cup of it to the kitchen.

I have some ideas.

You probably have
a lot of good ideas

as to what you'd
like to do with sand.

I was just thinking
about this, though.

[PHONE RINGING]

-Oh, that's the phone.

Hello?

Hi, Tony.

Oh, I would.

Yeah.

Well, certainly,
we'll come over.

Yeah.

All right, thanks very much.

Bye-bye.

That was Tony Shiroldus
calling from his shop.

He wants us to
come over and hear

him read a short book
with some children.

Why don't we do that now?

[SINGING] What in the world
would you like to do today?

[SPEAKING] We'll come
back here after we

visit with Tony and his friends.

Come along.

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Hey! [SPEAKING SPANISH].

-Hi.

Hi, everybody.

-We're so glad
you could join us.

-Thank you.

Is it all right if
I watch and listen?

-Yes!
-With you all?

-We're going to read a
book in another language.

A book in Spanish titled
[SPEAKING SPANISH].

MR. ROGERS: [SPEAKING SPANISH].

TONY: By Ann Morris
and Nancy Sheehan.

And [SPEAKING SPANISH]
means, I'm six years old.

Let's see what we
find out over here.

MR. ROGERS: How many of
you all are six-- six?

And how many are more than six?

And how many are
fewer than six years?

You're fewer than six?

-Just kidding.
Here we go.

It says, [SPEAKING SPANISH]
I am six years old.

So she is six years old.

And as we turn the
page, we find that

the boy [SPEAKING SPANISH].

I am six years old.

And the girl over here
[SPEAKING SPANISH].

Well, they're all six years old.

Oh, they get together in their
school, so [SPEAKING SPANISH].

This is our class.

Do you have a class?

MR. ROGERS: Do you have a class?
-You all have a class, right?

And you also have a teacher.

It says there,
[SPEAKING SPANISH].

So the word for teacher
is [SPEAKING SPANISH].

Can you all say
[SPEAKING SPANISH]?

ALL: [SPEAKING SPANISH]

TONY: And it means?

MR. ROGERS: Teacher.

TONY: Good job!

MR. ROGERS: Are you--
are you a teacher?

-Sometimes.
-Yeah, you seem like a teacher.

You have this shop, and
yet you're a teacher, too.

-I love to teach.

-Sure.

-And let's see what we find
around the corner here.

All right-- [SPEAKING SPANISH].

This is our school.

So the word for school
is [SPEAKING SPANISH].

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]
MR. ROGERS: [SPEAKING SPANISH]

TONY: [SPEAKING SPANISH]
-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

TONY: [SPEAKING SPANISH]
Good job.

So here starts another part
of the story that says,

[SPEAKING SPANISH], our
snake, [SPEAKING SPANISH], hm.

[SPEAKING SPANISH], our hamster.

MR. ROGERS: They have
a snake and a hamster.

TONY: And a hamster.

Hamster in English
and Spanish seems

to be the same word, Mr. Rogers.

MR. ROGERS: Yeah.

TONY: [SPEAKING SPANISH],
our little mouse--

they all live in our school.

Hm.

Do you have pets in your school?

-I have a pet in my school.

TONY: In your school?

What kind of pet?

-A bunny.

A baby bunny.
And you?

-And you can pet him.

-I used to have, um,
four butterflies.

TONY: Four butterflies?

Let's see what
they do at school.

It says here that they read,
which is what we're doing.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

So I'm sure you read in school.

Let's see, what else do they do?

[SPEAKING SPANISH],
we write in school.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

We count things in school.

Oh, I like this one.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]

What are they doing?

ALL: Singing.

TONY: [VOCALIZING] They're
singing away in school.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

We play every day.

Do you play at school?

-Yeah.
TONY: All right.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]
We laugh.

We have fun.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]

We're friends.

MR. ROGERS: You know what?

We don't know any of
those people in the book,

but they all do a lot of
that same things that we do.

-And somehow, you discover
that in English or Spanish--

-All over the world--

-We do the same things
and different things.

-That's why we can be neighbors
and friends for each other.

Thanks for letting
me be with you.

-Oh, thank you.
[SPEAKING SPANISH].

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]
-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Well, thank you.

Thank you, amigos.

--[SPEAKING SPANISH]
I was about six years

old when I did a
lot of sand art.

Do you ever make pictures
using glue and sand?

Well, that's what I was
thinking of doing right now.

Take some paper.

Maybe I'll use two
different colors of paper.

Then, you put it sort
of like this on a tray.

Never done it this way,
but-- do something different.

Then, you put glue.

Maybe I'll make a six.

A big six.

There.

Look like a six to you?

OK.

Then maybe just some
dots here and there.

[HUMMING]
There.

And then you pour
sand over the glue.

Let it-- [SPEAKING SPANISH].

I like that.

Think I'll just take it with
me and put my craft box back.

Clean that up later,
because I think we

should get the trolley
for some make-believe.

Come on, Six.

Hey, Trolley?

Six, Trolley.

Mm-hmm.

Let's think some more about
art in the Neighborhood

of Make-Believe.
Ready, Trolley?

Good.

Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

-Oh, yes.

Very good.

Oh, you are so good.

I just love to see you
do that, Hula Mouse?

-[SPEAKING SPANISH].

-Now, are you sure that
you would like to see it?

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Well, I thought it
might be fun to make

a picture using a lot of threes.

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

--[SPEAKING SPANISH]
I think King Friday

wants us to plan
an art festival.

Well, I'll go get my three
creation for you to see.

-[SINGING] Really,
it doesn't matter.

We could chatter on about
this or that or go on a bike,

go on a hike.

What in the world would
you like to do today?

[FANFARE]

-Uh, Hula Mouse, I presume?

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Now, how does one say
Art Festival in Spanish?

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Well, that is what we shall
have in this neighborhood.

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Exactly.

You may tell the
world, Hula Mouse.

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Any kind of art.

It will be a superb festival.

Naturally, I will
play the bass viol.

Farewell, H.M.

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-And did Friday tell you?

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Oh, good.

Now, I'll get you my threes.

-OK.

-And you may look at them.

-Ah!

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Pretty dry.

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Lots of threes.

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Lots of threes.

Well, what is your
favorite number?

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Well, I'll make one
for you of all sixes.

-Ah!
-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Oh, if you just put
it right here, please.

Thank you.

That'll be fine.

Now, I'll go and create
your one of sixes.

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]
-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Buenos dias, H.M.

-Buenos dias, Neighbor Aber.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]
-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Oh, I'm so glad to see you.

Could you help me, H.M.?

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

We just heard about
the arts festival.

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Oh, yes.

Between Make-Believe
and Westwood,

word travels very fast.

Now, the reason I need your
help is that Mayor Maggie and I

thought the Westwood
contribution to the arts

festival could be
a sand sculpture.

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-I beg your pardon?

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]
-Oh, no.

This is only part of the sand.

I need help bringing the
rest of it from Westwood.

Do you have time?

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Oh, terrific.

I should be back in Westwood
in maybe three and a half,

so I'll meet you at the
mayor's office then.

All right?
-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Not so fast, Buster.

Not so fast.

-Sounds like Lady
Elaine Fairchild.

Well, hello, Lady Elaine.

-Hello, Neighbor Aber.

-How are you?

-Not good.

-Why?

What's the matter?

-I don't like what's
passing for art around here.

-What do you mean?

-Well, nothing
looks like anything!

Tuesday makes a funny-looking
tower for Grandpere,

and Sarah makes a thing
with threes all over it--

NEIGHBOR ABER: Oh, but--

-No buts about it.

Now, I'll show
you some real art.

NEIGHBOR ABER: Some real art.

Hm.

Wonder what she means?

-Here, Toots.

Now you can tell what
that is, can't you?

-Yes, I can.

In fact, you have a lot of
them on your museum-go-round--

-There you go.

-In all different colors.

-There you go.

So, are you going
to make something?

-Oh, yes, we're going to
make a sand sculpture.

Well, make it look
like something,

because I'm going
to be the judge.

-Oh, how nice-- wait a minute.

You're the judge?

-Yes.

-King Friday asked
you to be the judge?

-No.

-Well--

-I run this
museum-go-round, right?

-Right.

-And museums specialize
in art, so I'll

specialize in judging it.

See that you make your
sand look like something

if you want to win, Toots.

See you.

-Wait a minute-- can't
we talk about this?

Hm.

Somehow, that doesn't seem fair.

Have you seen what
Queen Sarah made

and what Prince Tuesday
drew of the tower?

What do you think?

Well, I'm just going
to look for myself.

Oh, look at that!

Isn't it marvelous how she
used just threes to make that?

I think that's very
artistic, don't you?

Oh, that must be the prince's
drawing hanging on the tower.

Let's look.

Oh, I like this.

It gives a real feel about
the tower, don't you think?

LADY ELAINE: Hey there,
Toots, can you help me?

-Surely.

-OK, now, use this one instead.

NEIGHBOR ABER: Well,
why would I do that?

LADY ELAINE: Well, I mean,
because it looks like a tower.

It's real art.

-Lady Elaine, different people
see things in different ways.

-Yes, some much
stranger than others.

-[SPEAKING FRENCH]
-Hi, Grandpere.

-Bonjour, Grandpere.

-Well, we're taking
your silly picture

and giving you a good one.

-Silly picture?
-Yes.

Lady Elaine thinks
this drawing is silly.

-Oh, no.
[SPEAKING FRENCH] I love

that picture
Tuesday made for me.

-Are you serious, Toots?

It doesn't even like
your place at all!

-It has the feel
of this place here.

That is what is important to me.

Uh, what do you
think, Neighbor Aber?

-Well, frankly, I like it, too.

It's whimsical and charming.

-OK.

You all will never win.

Just remember, I warned you.

-I guess different people see
things in different ways, huh?

-And each artist does, too.

That's what makes
art so fantastic.

-I agree.
-Hello!

-Ah, [SPEAKING FRENCH] you
are a work of art yourself.

-Yes, indeed.

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-All of the sand?

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Oh, Hula Mouse, and I
didn't help you at all!

I'm sorry.

-Ah, never mind.

It's not heavy.

It's make-believe.

-I hope you'll have a
good day, gentlemen.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

-Adios!

-Goodbye, Grandpere.

Tell me something, Hula Mouse.

What do you think
of this drawing?

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Where did you put
the rest of the sand?

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]
-Great.

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Let's go get to
our sand sculpting.

-OK.

-We're going to make
a sand sculpture.

-[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-Well, Lady Elaine must think
that art can be only one way.

That's far from the
truth, isn't it?

Let's feed the fish.

Now, if I ask everyone
in your family

and all your friends to
look carefully at these fish

and to make a drawing or a
sculpture or a dance or a song

from what you see,
each one of you

would create
something different.

Do you know why?

Because each person in
the world is unique.

Unique-- that means that nobody
is exactly like anybody else.

So when people make art, each
person's art will be different.

I think that's
important to remember.

I'll just pick up
my piece of art.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Now, it could look like
something on its side, too,

couldn't it?

What's that look like to you?

And what about that?

That looks like a kite
to me, or a balloon.

All kinds of things to
think about in this life.

Gives me 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.

[SPEAKING] I'll
be back next time.

Goodbye.
