You know where I've come from?
From a glass shop --
Mr. Zandhuis.
Could you say
Mr. Zandhuis' name?
Mr. Zandhuis, because he's going
to come here a little later
and show us something
very special about glass,
not the window kind of glass,
some other kind of glass.
Can you guess
what might be in here?
Mm-hmm, glass,
but one is an owl,
and the one --
[ Latches unsnap ]
I won't tell you.
I'll show you.
Are you the owl?
I think so.
You see, they're wrapped
very carefully
because glass
can break so easily.
Yes, this is the owl.
Would you sit down, please, owl?
There.
Can you guess
what kind of an animal this is?
♪♪
It's called a penguin.
Penguin, would you go down
and meet Mr. Owl?
Hello.
Hoooot.
There they are,
and here's one
that Mr. Zandhuis made himself.
So fragile.
This is a swan.
There's a swan.
Would you say hello
to the penguin?
Hello.
Say hello to the owl.
There.
These look like toys,
but they're really not.
No, and sometimes when you see
decorations like this
that are very fragile,
you feel as if you'd like
to play with them,
don't you?
Well, they're just
not for playing.
They're for looking.

That may be Mr. Zandhuis now.
Zandhuis.
Is it you, Mr. Zandhuis?
Hi, I'm glad
to see you.
Mister Rogers.
How are you, Mister Rogers?
Thank you for coming.
Now this is your glassblowing
equipment, isn't it?
That is right.
Mr. Zandhuis said he would come
and blow some glass for us.
Whee.
Okay.
That's a very hot flame,
isn't it?
It is very hot.
You would not put
your finger in there.
No.
Instead of starting
with this tube.
I will start directly
with a more-finished product.
And that's glass,
is it?
Yeah,
it is glass...
and I will make it
very hot now.
And are you going to blow
a swan for us?
Yes,
I would love to.
[ Fire hissing ]
This is the body
of the swan,
and now
I will make the neck.
Good swan.
Did you learn
in Holland?
Yes, Mister Rogers,
I did.
I went to Holland
one time,
and the people there
were so kind to me.
I tried to learn
some of the language.
Bet that wasn't
very difficult.
Yes, it is
a difficult language.
It's true.
Okay, now...
let's see.
Look at
that beautiful swan.
I will put some
colored glasses on there.
Oh, you put colored glass
on it, too.
Is it like
pasting it on, huh?
Uh, yes.
That's its beak.
That's its beak...
[ Glass rustles ]
...and now its eyes.
[ Glass rustles ]
So, and instead
of going on with this one,
I would like
to finish one
I had already
partly finished.
Mm-hmm.
This one over here.
What do you do then?
I would like
to make a tail now
and take this
glass tube off.
[ Whispering ]
Make the tail.
So...
Oh, he's
a beautiful swan.
...it takes about five minutes
for it to cool off.
And there he sits,
the new swan.
Yes. Please do not
touch this over here.
No, I wont.
That is still warm.
Hello, swan.
Can you touch this head?
Oh, yes.
That is cool now.
You know, one time
when I was at your shop,
you made a balloon
for me,
and then you made it go
"Boo," like that.
Would you like me
to make one?
Would you do it?
I would love to.
Just to show
how very fragile it is,
and there's air
inside this, isn't there?
That's right.
That's right.
You practice
a long time, I guess,
to make
things like this?
Whee.
[ Pops ]
It is very thin,
indeed.
Ooh, it's very thin.
Won't that cut you?
It will not cut you, no.
It is so thin.
Oh, it's just like
a piece of paper.
Indeed.
Mister Rogers,
I have to go now.
I have another class
to teach.
You're going
to teach a class
in teaching people
how to do this?
In teaching people
who to blow glass.
Oh, it's such
a special art and craft.
I'm very grateful
that you would show us.
Let's say Mr. Zandhuis'
name together, okay?
Zandhuis [Zan-dwees].
Is that right?
That is correct.
Good. We've practiced
things toget--
How do you say
"Goodbye" in Holland?

Well, let's say
"Dag" to Mr. Zandhuis.

Thank you very much
for coming.

Will come back
for your things?
I will come back
and pick this up later.
Oh, good.
Okay.

Good day.
It's a real pleasure
to have you here.
Dag!
Oh, I want
to bring this one.
♪♪
Now I want you to go down
with your other swan friend.
This is a brand new swan...
to visit with this one.
More and more friends
gathered together there.
A whole glass family.
Mr. Zandhuis,
isn't he a special person?
So many special people
right in your own neighborhood,
and if you go out and visit,
that's when you find them.
Mm-hmm.
Your mom and dad
can take you on visits, too,
to very special
people like that.
We have a special thing
we do, don't we?
We make our open telescope
and look right into the
