[Woof]

Shiver me timbers,
and ahoy, maties!

Pirates off
the starboard bow.

Pirates?
Oh, where?

Don'’t worry, t-bone.
It'’s just pretend.

I knew that.

Man the ears!
Full speed ahead!

Whoa!
Whoa!

I wish clifford
had seat belts.

Slow down, big guy.

School'’s
almost out, cleo.

I want to see
emily elizabeth.

Now remember, class,

Monday we'’ll have
show and tell.

You may each bring in
something you'’d like to share

With the rest of the class,

I'’m gonna
bring something
from jamaica.

Great idea, charley.

I'’m going to bring in
something really amazing.

Good for you, jetta.

We'’re all looking
forward to that,
I'’m sure.

[Rumbling]

All: here comes clifford!

Well, then, I guess
it must be time
to go home.

[Laughter]

I know it must be
time to go home.

[Beeping]

Jetta'’s not the only one
who'’s gonna bring

Something special
for show and tell.

[Beeping]

This metal detector'’s
gonna help us

Find something
really cool.

[Beeping]

It beeps
when it gets near
something metal,

Like buried gold
or piles of silver.

[Ribbit ribbit]

[Ribbit ribbit]

[Croaking]

[Whimpers]

Emily: clifford!
[Beeping]

I found something!

[Woof woof]

Something'’s buried here.

Come on, let'’s dig.

[Gasps]

Wow, cool! An anchor.

My class
is gonna love this.

♪ Emily, emily ♪

♪ Emily, emily ♪

[Panting]

I can'’t wait
till monday!

[Whimpers]

Yahoo!

[Laughter]

Hurry, machiavelli,
we'’re late.

What is that?

Oof!

Mac!

Hey, jetta!

Look at this anchor
we found.

Isn'’t it cool?

Hmm. Looks
just like the one

I brought
to show and tell
last year.

You did?

Oh, but I'’m sure
everyone

Would just love
to see another one.
Heh heh heh.

Emily: oh.

Well, we'’re off
to meet the ferry.

Mother found the most
absolutely amazing thing

On the mainland for
my show and tell project.

Come on, mac.

Mac.

Mac, jetta'’s
calling you.

Clifford,
my friend,

Watch and learn.

Mac! Mackie!

Why don'’t you
go, mac?

Mac,
get over here!

Wait for it.

[Groans]

Oh, mac?

Who wants a tummy yummy?

Hah! You see?

The tummy yummy
is mine.

See you monday,
emily elizabeth.

[Whimpers]

[Arf arf arf]

Come on, clifford.

We'’re going
to find something

Absolutely amazing,
too, aren'’t we?

[Slurp]
heh heh heh!

This island has lots
of amazing things...

Somewhere.

[Woof]

Heh heh,
but not up here.

Whoa-ho-ho-ho!

Where are we going?

[Woof woof woof]

Wow, an old bird'’s nest.

This must be
from last spring.

There'’s even some feathers
and old eggshells inside!

This'’ll be great
for show and tell.

[Sniffs]

Aaah...aaah...

Aaah...

Aaah...aaah...

Clifford, no!

Aaah--aaah--
aaah--aaah--

Ohh.

Ahhh!

Good boy.

Now, let'’s get
this nest home.

Aaah-chooo!

Oh, clifford.

Maybe mom has something
in her shop I can use.

You stay here,
clifford.

Clifford?

[Woof]

That clifford.
What a dog!

Ha ha ha ha!

[Slurps]

Ha ha ha!
I'’m gonna go see

What I can
dig up inside.

I'’ll be right back.

Hey, maybe I can dig up
something for emily, too.

Digging'’s one
of my best things.

Is that coral,
emily elizabeth?

It sure is.

Ah, what
a coincidence!

I have something
made of coral, too.

Wait till you see it.

It'’s a real treasure.

Ta-da! It'’s me!

[Chuckles]

Isn'’t it
absolutely amazing?

It certainly is.

Oh, it certainly is.

It'’s perfect
for show and tell,
don'’t you think?

Mmm...

What are you
bringing?

Oh, uh,

I'’m bringing a real
treasure of my own.

[Rumbling]

Is that
your "treasure,"
emily elizabeth?

Uh, yeah!
Heh, sure.

Well, what is it?
Let'’s see.

[Panting]

Eh...bones?

Your treasure is
a pile of bones?

Now that'’s
a real treasure.

[Sniffing]

Well, uh, yeah!

[Laughing]

You know, jetta,

A pile of bones
is a real treasure...

To clifford.

Whatever.

Come on, mac.
Let'’s go.

[Sniffing]

I said come on!

[Whimpering]

Clifford,
you stay home now.

[Whimpers]

Sorry, but I have
to find something
for show and tell.

Thanks, but I need
something amazing,

Like jetta'’s sculpture.

I don'’t have time
now, clifford.

Stay.

[Whimpers]

[Panting]

[Whimpers]

Don'’t worry, boy.
I'’ll be right back.

[Woof woof]

Ha ha ha ha ha!

[Twittering]

Emily?

[Whimpers]

[Gasps] oh!

Clifford!
Did you see--

[Whimpers]

[Whimpers]

[Car horns honking]

Clifford: oops.

[Woof]

[Bicycle bell rings]

[Whimpers]

Hey, emily.

Hi, charley.

So, did you find something
for show and tell?

Oh, yeah.

I'’m bringing
my favorite steel drum

From jamaica.

Everyone'’s
already seen that.

So? It'’s my best thing.

What are you bringing?

I don'’t know.

Clifford and I went
to look for something
this morning.

Find anything?

No, not really.

Just this crummy
old anchor.

Clifford turned it
into a swing.

Then we found
this old nest

Way up
on rocky point.

Cool!

Then we looked
around town,

And clifford tried on
those silly glasses

At mr. Miyori'’s shop.

[Laughter]

Sounds fun.

Yeah. It was fun.

I always have fun
with clifford.

He'’s a very
cool dog.

He sure is.

See you, emily.

Hope you
figure out something
for show and tell.

Thanks, charley.
I think I just did!

Clifford!
Clifford!

Oh, I know
what I'’m bringing

For show and tell,
clifford. I know!

[Ringing]

It'’s you, clifford!

[Cheering]

Wheeee! Hee hee hee
ha ha ha ha!

[Laughter]

[Groans] I knew
you were gonna bring

That big old dog
for show and tell.

Of course! He'’s
absolutely amazing.

He'’s clifford,
my big red dog.

Emily: clifford!

[Panting]

It'’s story time!

You want to hear
a speckle story,
don'’t you?

[Woof woof]

Heh heh. I thought so.

He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is
"speckle and the rainy day."

One day, speckle went
walking in the rain.

He walked past darnell,
trying to stay dry.

Speckle invited darnell

To join him
under his umbrella.

Then speckle saw luna,

And he invited her
to join them under
the umbrella, too.

As they walked
by the brook,

They spied
ravi and reba.

But there was no more room
under speckle'’s umbrella.

So speckle invited
everyone to climb in,

And they all
floated downstream
in their umbrella boat,

Happy and laughing
together.

The end.

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

[Woof]

[Slurp]
heh heh!

[Howling]

Woman: come on, baby,

Be a good little girl.

Oh, my gosh,

What are they
doing to cleo?

Same thing they do
every week, t-bone.

They'’re putting a
ribbon in her hair.

Cleo doesn'’t like that
very much, does she?

Not at all.

Come on, t,
let'’s go play.

Cleo will meet us
at the beach
when she'’s done.

Right!

Oh, mr. Kibble,
she'’s beautiful.

And since you were
such a good wittle girl,

Mommy has a brand-new
toy for you.

[Gasps]

[Arf arf
arf arf arf]

[Chuckles]

I think she likes it.

Like it? I love it!

[Growling]

She'’s gonna love
playing with it

With her little
doggy friends.

Huh?

T-bone! Catch!

[Slobbering]

Ewww.

Throw it
to clifford, t-bone!

[Gulp]

Oops.

Don'’t worry,

No one else is gonna
lay a paw on you.

[Arf arf arf]

[Sniffing]

[Squeak]

Hah!

[Arf]

[Panting]

[Squeak]

[Arf arf arf]

[Panting]

What a great toy!

Uh-oh. Here comes
clifford and t-bone.

They'’re gonna want
to play with you, toy.

You got to hide!

T-bone: hey, cleo!

[Squeak]

[Squeak]

What was that?

Ohh! That was, uh...

That was nothing.

I was just, you know,
uh, singing.

Squeak!

Cleo, you got to
see the great blob
of seaweed

We found
at the beach.

Yeah. Come on!

[Groans]

[Squeak]

T-bone,
excuse yourself.

Huh?

Come on, let'’s go!

Uh, no, thanks, clifford.

What? Why not?

I don'’t want
to get all dirty.

But you love
to get dirty.

Yeah, especially
right after
you just got clean.

Uh, i--i--

I just don'’t feel
like it today, ok?

Well, ok, I guess.

Come on, t-bone.
Let'’s dig.

Getting dirty is fun,

But having a new toy
all to myself

Is even morefun!

Ha ha ha! [Growls]

[Grunts]

Clifford!

[Panting]

I'’ve got
a surprise for you.

[Woof woof]

Ha ha ha ha!

[Woof]

There you go, boy.

Like it?

Course you do.

Everyone loves
a new toy.

[Thumping]

[Slurps]

You'’re welcome.

[Arf arf arf]

Look out.

I'’m gonna get you!

[Growling]

Well, that was fun.

Now what?

[Gasps]
hey, how about
I hide you,

Forget where
I hid you,

And sniff you out
with my
amazing nose.

[Squeak]

[Squeak]

[Sniffing]

[Squeak]

Hmm, kind of hard
to do alone.

[Gasps] I know!

I'’ll close my eyes,
throw you,

Then sniff you out!

[Squeaking]

[Sniffing]

T-bone: hey, cleo!

Huh?

Oh, no! T-bone.

Where'’s my toy?

Hey, cleo!

Oh, uh, hi, t-bone.

Come on, let'’s go
to the beach.

Eh, no, thanks.

Clifford just
got a brand-new
dirty old tire!

Really?

Sounds cool! I--

[Gasps]

What?

Uh, nothing!

It'’s just that, uh,

T-t-there'’s
a great big spider
behind you!

A--a spider?

Now don'’t panic.

Just slowly
walk this way.

[Gasps]

[Squeak]
aaaaah!

[Whimpers]
w-w-was that
a spider?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Wait. That doesn'’t
look like a spider.

Uh, well,
I guess not.

[Slobbers]

It'’s a toy!

[Gasps]

It'’s mine,
slobberpuss!

Huh?

It'’s brand-new,
I love it,
and it'’s mine!

Ok, cleo.

I'’m sorry, t-bone.

It'’s just that,
well, it'’s brand-new,

And I love it,

And I don'’t want it
to get broken,
and it'’s mine.

O-ok, cleo.

Uh, don'’t tell clifford
about it, ok?

Why not?

Well, you know,
if he sees it,

He'’s gonna want
to play with it,

And I kind of
don'’t want him to,
so it'’s just better

If he doesn'’t know
about it, all right?

I guess.

Good.

So, you gonna come
play with clifford'’s
new tire with us?

Um, no, thanks.

You could bring
your toy.

We won'’t touch it,
I promise.

Heh heh.
I don'’t think so.

Well, ok.

I'’m gonna go, then.

Have fun
with your toy today.

Don'’t worry.

I will.

Ready, t-bone?

Ready!

Whoaaa!

Whaaaa--
gotcha!

W-wow. That was great.

So where'’s cleo?
She'’d love this.

C-cleo?

Uh, I don'’t know.

She didn'’t want
to play yesterday,

And she isn'’t
here today?

I hope she'’s ok.

She is. She just
has this new--

A new what, t-bone?

A new...a new,
uh, tooth!

Yeah, a tooth.

It'’s brand-new, and
she really loves it,

And it'’s all hers.

Oh. Well, ok.

But she'’s gonna play
with us tomorrow
no matter what.

Remember, t-bone,

Cleo is definitely
gonna come with us
today.

It'’s more fun
when we all
play together.

Ri-i-ight!

Whoa-oh!

Oops!
Sorry, t-bone.

Ooh! That'’s ok,
clifford.

Cleo, you home?

I don'’t think
she'’s here.

She sure has been
acting strange lately.

Gotcha!

[Squeak]

Gotcha.

[Squeaks]

Gotcha.

Hmm.

This would be
a lot more fun

If you could throw
yourself, toy.

[Gasps] clifford!

Ohh!

Come on, let'’s hide!

How you doing
back there, t-bone?

Oh! Great.

Swing me higher!

Ok, hold on.

Ohhh!

Ohh, maybe
not that high.

He could swing me
that high.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa...whoa...

Whoa...whoa...

Whoa.

Gosh, that sure
looks like fun.

Oooh!

I wish cleo was here.
She'’d love this.

She sure would.

I sure would!

Cleo! Where
have you been?

Where have I been?

Um, i...

Yeah, we'’ve been trying
to play with you
for days now.

I know.

I got
this great new toy.

I know.

I really want you
to try it.

I know, I know!

You always want to share
your new stuff with me.

You'’re the best
sharer of new stuff
I know.

And I'’m the worst.

Uh, what do you mean?

I mean, I didn'’t
want to share this
with you.

Oh, so that'’s why you
didn'’t want to play with us.

Yeah.
It'’s hard to share.

But you know what?

It'’s no fun playing
with a new toy
all alone.

Well, it is
a pretty cool toy.

I don'’t blame you for
not wanting to share it.

Well, I want
to share it now.

So let'’s play!

T-bone! Catch!

[Squeak]

[Growls] got it!

Throw it to clifford,
t-bone!

[Panting]

Here it comes!

This sure is
a great toy, cleo.

[Squeak]

It'’s even more great
when you share it
with your friends.

[Growling]

Clifford and I
know that playing
is a lot more fun

When we share
with our friends.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today
is sharing.

[Groans] it'’s mine!

[Groans]
no, it'’s mine.

[Groans] it'’s mine.

[Growls] mine!

I say it'’s mine!

Aaah! Whoaa--ooh!

What'’s going on,
t-bone?

I found this toy first,

But cleo thinks
it belongs to her.

No way! I found it,
and it'’s mine!

Maybe instead of
fighting over that toy,

We can all share mine.

Well, ok.

Great!

Here you go, cleo!

Hee!

Catch, big guy!

[Woof woof]

[Woof] this is fun!

Yeah!
Yeah!

When friends
share with friends,
everyone is happy.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today
is sharing.
