- Neigh, neigh! Oink, oink!

Hi, Neighbor! Today, I'm going
to visit the Neighborhood Farm

with my family. Have you
ever been to a farm?

Neigh, neigh! Oink, oink!
- Ready to go to the farm?

- I am!
- Cack! Cack!
- Yes,

a duck says 'quack,' Margaret.
Margaret has never been
to the farm,

but I have, so I'm going to show
her all of the animals.

Especially the ducks.
- Cack! Cack!
(Ding! Ding!)

- Here comes Trolley.
- Ding! Ding!
- Hi, Trolley. Please take us

to the farm!
- Up! There we are.

- Buckled!
- Mm-hmm.

- ♪ We're off to the farm today
to see the animals! ♪

♪ Won't you 'neigh' along
with me? Neigh! Neigh! ♪

♪ Won't you 'neigh'
along with me? ♪

- Neigh, neigh!
- Neigh, neigh!

- We're here.

Thanks, Trolley!
- Ding! Ding!

- This is the farm, Margaret.
There's the barn...

And the duck pond... And look!

There's a horse! Neigh, neigh!
- Neigh! Neigh! Neigh!

- That's right, Margaret,
a horse says, 'Neigh, neigh.'

Let's go see the horse, Mom.
- Okay!

- Hi, Prince Tuesday!
What are you doing here?
- Hi, Little D!

I work with the horses
here on the farm.
- Hi, Chrissie.

Chrissie is
Prince Tuesday's cousin.
- Hi, Daniel. Hiya, Margaret.

- Neigh! Neigh!
- I like horses, too, Margaret.

I come here every week
to ride them.

- You ride the horses? Wow.
- Uh-huh.

This is my favorite horse.
His name is... Peaches!
- Peaches!

- Wanna pet him?
- Really? Okay.

Hi, Peaches.
You're a soft horsey.

Nice horsey.
- Neigh! Neigh!
- Okay,

Chrissie, Peaches is ready for
you to ride him. Helmet on...
- For safety!

Would you like to ride Peaches
after me, Daniel? He's a really
friendly horse.

- Can I do that?
- It's okay with me.
- You can watch me do it,

then you can try. Okay?
- Grrr-ific!

- Okay then,
let's get you riding!
- My crutches help me walk,

but I don't need them when
I ride. Will you put these
over there for me, please?

- Sure, Chrissie. There we go.
- First, get up on the horse.

Next, leg to the other side.
Then, feet go into the stirrups.

- Nice work! C'mere... C'mere...

- Ooh...

- Yee-haw!

Good Peaches.
- Wow!

Riding a horse looks like fun. I
can't wait to ride Peaches, too.

- Whoa, good job, Chrissie!
- Thanks, Prince Tuesday!

- Good boy, Peaches.
Good boy.

- Neigh!
- Good horsey.

- Nice riding, Chrissie! You're
really getting better.
- Whew!

Thanks, that was fun.
- There we go.

- Are you ready to ride now,
Daniel?
- Yes!

This is tiger-tastic!
- There you are.

- Thanks! Helmet! Click!

- And here we go.

Ho!
- Thanks, Prince Tuesday.
- Okay! How do you feel?

- Um... uh...
It's really high up.

I don't like it. I think
I want to get down.

- Hey, are you sure? I know
riding a horse is new, and
a little bit scary, but...

- Ready to get going?
- I can do this.
Let's go, Peaches.

- You can do it, Daniel!
- Dan-Dan!
- Way to go, Daniel!

- I like riding Peaches!
It's bumpy... and fun...

Really fun. Really, really fun!

Yee-haw! Let's go faster, okay?
(neighing)

Whoa. Actually... slow is good.
I like going slow.

- Thanks.

Thanks for the ride, Peaches.

Good horsey.

- Good riding, cowboy Daniel.
- Thanks, Chrissie. Yee-haw!
- Yee-haw!

- Good boy, Peaches,
good boy.

- What if I really was a cowboy?
I could ride horses
all the time!

Hey... do you want
to make-believe with me?

that we're cowboys!

- Cack, cack!
- Margaret.
- Ah... Ooh!

- I see the ducks, too.
Quack, quack! Let's go.

Look! It's Ducky.
- Cack, cack!

- Ducky used to live at my
school when he was a teensy,

weensy duckling.
- Cack, cack! Cack!

- How are you doing, Ducky?
(quacking)

Quack, quack!

Oh, Ducky is doing
his 'ducky' dance.

Let's do the ducky dance, too.
- Cack, cack!

- Quack, quack! Quack, quack!

- Daniel, Margaret! Look! Prince
Tuesday gave me this birdseed.

Do you want to feed the ducks?
- Yes! I did this once before.

Watch this, Margaret.
I'll show you how to do it.

- Eat up your birdseed,
Ducky. Yum, yum, yum!
- Cack, cack?

- You can feed the duckies, too,
Margaret. Just hold the bowl

like this.

No, no, Margaret, you have
to hold the bowl out,

so Ducky can eat the food.

Oh, are you okay, Margaret?

- No, noooo!
- Margaret, don't back up.

Go closer. Closer to Ducky.

(whimpering)
Oh, I know it can be scary
to try something new.

You can do it. Look, Ducky's
coming over, see!
- Oh...

- It's okay, I'm right here.
(laughing)

You're feeding Ducky! And look!
Here come Ducky's friends.

Aww, they're hungry too.
- Cack, cack! Cack, cack!
- Eat up, little duckies!

Whoa! The duckies ate
all of that birdseed.

They must have been hungry!

- Dan-Dan!
- You're welcome, Margaret.

Now that you've fed the ducks,
do you want to take another

- Yes!
(laughing)

- Alright then, let's go.
- Alright!

Hi, Peaches, I'm back!

- There you are.
- Thank you. Helmet-- Click!

- Up you go! Up up up up up!
- And... up! Alright, let's go!

Whew!
- Hi, Peaches. I loved
riding on you today, Peaches.

Riding a horse
was scary at first,

but I held my dad's hand
and that helped.

Whose hand can you hold
when you get scared?

I'm glad I got to visit
the farm with you, Neighbor.

Ugga Mugga.

Let's go see some neighbors.

- (narrator): This is BJ
and his dad.

It's BJ's first visit to the
barbershop for a haircut.

He's a little scared and wonders
what it will be like.

- Hey, BJ. Are you ready now?

- (narrator): Dad remembers his
first haircut at a barbershop.

He knows holding
a hand can help.

- I got you, big guy.

How are we doing? How are we
cutting him today?
- Good. Good.

Just cut a little bit off the
top. Probably about half.
- Alright.

If you get nervous, BJ, you can
always hold your dad's hand. Ok?

- (narrator): All done.

- How do you like that?
- I like it.

- (narrator): What a great
haircut! That wasn't
so hard after all,

but holding Dad's hand helped.
- Goodbye, Ron.

- I like these visits with you.

Hi, Neighbor! Guess what
I have? It's... a...

picnic basket!

We're having a picnic right now
in our backyard,

and we're going
to see fireworks.

Have you ever seen fireworks?

I haven't. I don't even know
what they are!
- Hey.

- Hi, Dad.
- Do you want some help
with that picnic basket?

- No, thanks. I can do it
myself! Ugh! Whoa!

So... heavy...
- Are you sure
you don't want help?

I'm a pretty good
'big dad' helper.
- Okay. Let's do it together.

- Okay, here you go.
- Yeah! Come on!

We're here!
- Hi, Daniel.
- Dan-Dan!

- Whoa! Margaret,
you're getting strong!

- Strong!
- What'd you bring
in your basket, there?

- Stuff. Lots of picnic stuff.
- Okay. Let's see. Plates...

- And...
- Cups..
- And...

- Napkins...
- And... Tige-y!

- How could we even think
of having a picnic
without you, Tige-y?

- And food!
- Mmm! What a yummy picnic!

- Tige-y can sit right here
next to me. But, Mom?

- Yes, Daniel?
- Tige-y needs a plate.
- Oh, of course! Plate.

- And a cup.
- Cup.
- And a napkin.

And some food.
- How about this?

Why don't you and Margaret go
and play, while I get Tige-y's
spot all set up. Okay?

- Okay! Come on, Margaret.
Let's go see

what's over there.

Hey, where'd you go?
(laughing)

Come back here,
you silly Margaret!

Got ya!
(laughing)

Ooh... look, Margaret.
The sun's going down.

It's getting darker.
- Ooh...

- Hey, what was that?

They're fireflies!

- Oh...
- See how they light up?

Have you ever seen a firefly?

I think they're grr-ific.

Come here, fireflies.
I want to say 'hi'.

I guess they want
to keep flying.
(whimpering)

Margaret, what's wrong?
(crying)

Are you scared of the fireflies?
(crying)

But... they're nice!
They won't hurt you, see?

(crying)

Margaret, come back!

- Oh my, Margaret.
What's wrong?

(crying)

- We were just looking at the
fireflies. Margaret got scared.

- Oh, I see.
- But I told her
they won't hurt her.

So why is she still scared?
- Well,

Margaret's never seen a firefly
before. To her, they're new.

And new things can be
scary sometimes.

Right, Margaret?

It's like they're twinkling
and saying, 'Hi!'

Hi, Margaret! Hi! Hi!
- Hi, hi...

- Come on. Don't be afraid.
Look at how they light up.

So beautiful. Holding hands
is helping Margaret.

She's not as scared anymore!

- Ooh, Dan-Dan!
- Yay Margaret!

I love fireflies. I wish
I could be a firefly

and light up the sky!

Margaret! Time for
the picnic dinner.

- Say, 'Bye, fireflies!'
- Bye, bye!
- Come on, Margaret.

- Well, look at you, Margaret.
Now you don't look
scared at all.

- I held her hand when we looked
at the fireflies and made her
feel better.

- Thanks, Mom.
- Alrighty, so, we've got
carrots, grapes, and sandwiches.

Who wants what?
- I'll have some carrots.
- Sandwich, please!

- And some picnic food
for Margaret, too.

- Mmm... picnic food
is tiger-tastic.

- It does seem to taste better
outside, doesn't it?
- Mm-hmm.

(loud crackling)
- What was that?
- Those are the fireworks.

See, Daniel?
Up in the sky!

- Look how bright
and pretty they are.

Kind of like... fireflies.
- Yeah,

but they're really... loud!
- They are loud, aren't they?

You know, the first time
I heard fireworks,

I didn't like how loud
they were either.
- You didn't?

- I didn't.
They can sound scary

if you've never
heard them before.

- The fireworks are so loud.
How would you feel if you
heard a loud noise?

I'm... scared.

- It's okay to be scared,
Daniel. Fireworks are loud, but
that's just the noise they make.

The noise won't hurt you, okay?
- Okay. But I'm still
a little scared.

- Dan-Dan?
- Fireworks are new
for you and Margaret.

Maybe you can
help each other.

are, you might just like them.

- Okay, Dad. But...
can Margaret come, too?

I... I want to keep
holding her hand.

- Of course.
Hold my hand too.

Now we can get a good look.

Watch how the fireworks
turn into different colors.

- Woooow...

That is... grr-ific.

Ohh! It's the shape of the sun!

Look at that one,
and that one there!

- Here comes another one...
- Ohh...

Whoa! That one
looks like Trolley.

(loud crackling)
Ah! That one was really loud.

I needed an extra big
squeeze that time.
- Are you feeling better,

Daniel? Are you still scared?
- I'm feeling better now.

Thanks to my best tiger sister.

- Hi, my name is Olivia and I'm
going to do something I've never
done before... rollerblading.

- Hi, Olivia.
- Hi, Perry. Can you
show me how to skate?

- Absolutely. Are you ready?
- Mm-hmm.

- Okay, Olivia, you want
to make sure the first thing is
balancing. We're going to do,

it's called the "T" balance.
You want to keep your knees
bent like this,

so we're all balanced
and controlled. Next, we're
going to do the duck walk.

It's just like walking.

Walk around with me. Just like
we're walking, but with wheels.

You're doing great.
And we're going to glide now.

Lastly, we're all going to fall.
We want to fall the safe way.

There are two ways.
There's the superman fall.

We're going to fall on our
knees, and we're going to slide.

The second fall
is falling on your bum.

Fall like that. I got you.

You did a great job.
You think you're ready
for the big floor now?

- Uh-huh.
- Awesome. Let's go.

One. Two. One. Two.
There you go.

Do you want me to hold your
hand? Fun, isn't it?
- Uh-huh.

Me and Perry are going to keep
skating. Bye, Neighbors.

- I like these visits with you.
