Hi.

So glad you're here.

I was walking down the street.

I saw all sorts of people
I hadn't seen for a while.

It's great to see friends
you haven't seen for a while.

Yep. People come and people go,
and people come back.

I would like you to come
with me to the porch

because I have something
to show you there.

Want to come? Okay.

♪ Let's make the most
of this beautiful day ♪

This is it.

It's a thermometer.

It tells you exactly how cool
it is or how warm it is outside.

Mm-hmm. I'll point to it.

Right inside this little
glass tube is some mercury,

and the mercury goes up
to just the right number.

Can you see it there?
It's right up about there.

And that tells what
the temperature is outside.

That's called a thermometer.
Uh-huh.

There are lots of different
kinds of thermometers.

Some are outside,
and some are inside.

I've got some inside.
You want to go?

Alright. Let's see
some of the ones inside.

Here are the inside kind.

♪♪

Well, this one looks most like
the one that was outside.

So, I'll show you it.

See the tube?

See the tube there,

and the mercury inside
that just goes up and up and up

and tells what
the temperature is inside.

Here's another one.
Whoa. This is a fancy kind.

Looks like a frying pan
or a skillet.

But it has a little thing
in there that just goes around

and goes to the right number.

And here's a complicated one.

Lots of dials on it.
Mm-hmm.

Good many different kinds
of thermometers in the house.

There's another kind that tell

exactly how warm it is
inside the person,

yeah, right inside your body.

I'll show this one to you.

It comes in a little case
like this,

and parents and doctors
sometimes use this kind.

It's called an oral thermometer.

See, it has little numbers
along the side,

and that mercury goes up, too.

This is how you do it.

First, your mom or your dad
or the doctor goes like this

to get the mercury
down at the bottom,

and then...

Hm, hm, hm, hm, hm,
hm, hm, hm, hm.

Hm, hm, hm, hm, hm,
hm, hm, hm, hm, hm.

I used to see if my mother

could understand
what I was saying

by going
"Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm-hmm"

'cause you're not allowed talk,

no, when you have it
in your mouth.

Have to be very still
and keep it under your tongue.

♪♪

And sometimes mothers can go
just like this

somewhere on your body

and tell how warm you are,
yeah, if you have a fever,

and can also tell
if a person doesn't feel good

if he's irritable and cranky

and mean and doesn't play
as much as he used to play.

I'm just going to pretend
that I'm not feeling good.

And you feel as if you just
stay in for a while, you know.

♪ Sometimes you feel like
holding your pillow ♪

♪ All night long ♪

♪ Sometimes you hug
your teddy bear tightly ♪

♪ He's old,
but he's still strong ♪

♪ And sometimes you want
to snuggle up closely ♪

♪ With your own mom and dad ♪

♪ At night you even need
the light, sometimes ♪

♪ But that's not bad ♪

♪ Please don't think
it's funny ♪

♪ When you want an extra kiss ♪

♪ Please don't think
it's funny ♪

♪ When you want

♪ There are lots

And when you're
not feeling good,

sometimes people bring
you things, special things,

and there's always somebody to
take very special care of you.

[ Knocking at door ]
Hmm!

There's somebody at the door.
Let's go see who it is.

Bum, bum, ba-dum,
ba-dum, bum, bum, bum.

Miss Emilie!

Hello.
Bless your heart.
Come in!

Are you ill?
I'm so glad to see you.

Are you ill?
Oh, no. No. I was
pretending that I was sick.

Oh, well, thank goodness
for that.
Yeah. Come on down.

You remember my friend,
Miss Emilie Jacobson...

Hello!
...our poetry lady.

Oh, come down.

Miss Emilie
hasn't been well,

and you haven't visited
for quite a while.

No. I'm better now
and so glad to be here,

so awfully glad.

Oh, so am I, glad.

Every time I went
to visit Miss Emilie

when she wasn't feeling good,
she always had a poem for me.

Do you have one now?
Well, you know me.

I always have a poem.
Good.

I have one about
people coming back.

Well, that's
very appropriate.

Yes.
That's what I thought.
You're back.

"There's joy in sailing outward.

Though you leave upon the pier,

with face all grieved
and wistful,

your very dearest dear.

Although the months may row
between a whole round year,

there's joy
in climbing mountains,

in fording rushing brooks,

in poking into places
you've read about in books,

in meeting stranger people
with unfamiliar looks.

But the joy of joy is ours
and marred by any pain,

when we catch
the homebound steamer

or we board the homebound plane.

Oh, there's nothing half so
splendid as coming home again."

This is sort of
a second home for you.

Oh, it certainly is.
Is that what...

This is the poem.
That's the poem. Yes.

"There's joy
in climbing mountains

and fording
rushing brooks."

What's that mean,
"fording a rushing brook?"

Well, rushing brooks,
you know,

can be steep and very wide
in some places,

and in other places
quite shallow and narrow.

Like a stream.
Right.

And the place
where you cross

most conveniently
is called the ford.

Oh, so...
"Fording
rushing brooks."

"Poking into places
you've read about in books."

You've done a lot
of those things, haven't you?

Yes, I have. Yes.

"Meeting stranger people
with unfamiliar looks."

Say, have you been
to Make-Believe yet?

No, no, no, but I'd love to.
I do so want to see the king.

Do you think you could make
an appointment for me?

Of course.
If you just hand me the can.

Yes, I will, indeed.

Oh, won't King Friday
be glad to see?

Hello,
Miss Paulificate?

[ Tinkling ]

Yes, it's Mister Rogers.
How are you?
[ Tinkling ]

What about King Friday?
How is he today?

[ Tinkling ]

Oh, not too good.

Well, I wonder,
does he have a fever?

[ Tinkling ]
No. No fever.

Well, then maybe he could
come to the phone.

Could he?
[ Tinkling ]

Good. We'll wait.

We'll wait for the king,
you know. Wait.

Of course.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]
Hello, King Friday.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]
I have
somebody in my room

who is a very good friend
of yours.
[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

No. Her name
isn't Saturday,

but it has a lot
to do with poetry.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

That's right.
Here's Miss Emilie.

King Friday, how lovely
to hear your voice.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

May I come and see you?

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

Thank you very much.
I'd love to. How soon?

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

Oh, that's plenty of time.
Thank you very much indeed.

I'll have plenty of time
to walk slowly.

[ Grand piano-music
plays ]

Farewell,
Your Majesty.

He's gone.
Oh, boy.

Did he say 13 minutes?
No. He said 15 minutes.

Oh, that's plenty of time
to get there.
Loads of time.

Do you know what I'd love
to do, Mister Rogers?
What?

I'd love to stop on
the other side of the tracks...
Oh.

and see my dear,
little old friends there,

Daniel and Henrietta
and X.

You know how glad
they'll be to see you.

No, not more glad
than I will to see them.

Well, we'll follow you
to Make-Believe, then.

Thanks for stopping
by here first,

and thank you so much
for the poem.

You know me, dear.
I'll always have a poem for you.

Good.

Bye-bye, Miss Emilie.
Bye-bye, dear.

See you in Make-Believe.

What a great lady.
I'm so glad she's better.

Let's do look right away
into Make-Believe.

You ready to set your sights

for the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe?

[ Mystical music plays ]

[ Knocking ]

Somebody knocking?

Oh! Who are you?
Are you X the Owl?

Well, you...

you look like
X the Owl,

but, why,
you're even too big

for your own tree,
aren't you?

Let me hear you talk.

Hoot! Hoot!

Well, that's not you,
is it, X?

Why, just yesterday
you were my size.

Yeah. Who is that?

Let me see you close.

Oh, are you somebody who likes
to dress up in costumes?

Oh, please let me
see underneath.

Are you Lady Aberlin?

Oh, I knew it!
Peek-a-boo, Lady Aberlin!

Hi, Daniel!
Peek-a-boo!
Hi, to you!

That looks just like X.
Did it?

Oh, what a big costume
that is.
Yes. It's a big,
heavy costume.

My goodness,
I'm glad to see you...

Thank you.
And I'm glad to see you.

...the real you.

Did you know that
the poetry lady
was coming today?

You mean Miss Emilie?

Yes. Miss Paulificate told me
that she was on her way.

I thought that
she had been sick.

She had been sick,
but now she's better.

Isn't that great?
Oh, it surely is.

Well, I'd better go get
dressed to see her.

Okay. She's going
to visit the king,

but first
she's going to come

by our part of
the neighborhood here.

Alright.
See you later, Daniel.
Okay.

Wait a minute!
Wait a minute!

What's the matter?

I just had an idea.
What?

Now, why don't you
keep that costume on

and let Miss Emilie
see you in it?

She'll think that
X has gotten real big

since she's been away.

Oh, that's a good idea.
Do you think X would mind?

Oh, I don't think so.
You could ask him.

I will. I'll go tell X
and Henrietta.

That that's what
you're going to do.

Yes. Good idea.
Okay, then.

They can be in
on the secret.

Great!
Oh, boy! I can't wait.

Ugga Mugga!
Ugga Mugga!

I can't wait
to see Miss Emilie.

Oh, dear. It's been so long.

You know, when
a good friend comes back,

it really is fun
to see them, isn't it?

Miss Emilie!
Daniel, darling!

Oh, I'm so glad
to see you!
Oh, my dear.

You don't know how
glad I am to see you.

I missed you so badly.

Oh, I've thought of you
so many times.

You don't know.
You never will know

how many times I thought
of you while I was sick.

Really?
Tell me, darling.

Yeah?
Does your stripe
still itch?

Oh, it surely does,
right here.

You even remembered.
I do.

And do you know that
you're as handsome

as ever you were
and more?

Miss Emilie...
There's Daniel
going all coy again.

I have something
for you.
Ooh.

I knew you were coming.
Just a minute.

He's a little darling.

Oh, how lovely.

A tiger lily from
my very, very favorite tiger.

That's it.

When I heard that
you were coming, I said,

"I've got to find a real
tiger lily for Miss Emilie."

It's beautiful, darling,
and it could grow and grow.

And do you know, talking
about growing...
Yes?

...I think you've grown
since I saw you last, Daniel.

Do you think so?
I think so, yes.

Maybe a whole hand
taller?

Well, I don't know,
but the point is that

no one could have too much
of little Daniel.

Oh. Why, if you think
I've grown,

you should see
X the Owl.

Why? Has he grown, too?

Yeah. Look.
There he is.

Oh, no.
That is impossible, Daniel.

Hello, X the Owl!

My goodness.

It is impossible.

Let her feel you.
Let her feel you.

You don't feel
like X the Owl.

Do your hooting,
darling.

Are you going to hoot?

Hoot! Hoot!

And you don't sound
like X the Owl either...

[ Chuckling ]

...but you act
like X the Owl.

You do. You act
like X the Owl.

That's right.
Tell me, Daniel.

Do you think Henrietta Pussycat
has changed as much as that?

Well, I don't know,
but you could go over and see.

I'd like to.
I hope she hasn't

'cause she was
such a darling before.

Well, she still is.

But you ought to go over
with X and see her

because she'll be
anxious to see you.

Well, I shall, then,
if X will take me.

Goodbye, you two.
Have a good time!

Please come in.

X the Owl:

her who's under there.

Oh, Lady Aberlin.
It's Lady Aberlin.

Oh, for heaven's sake!
Hello, Miss Emilie!

You've no idea how much I've
missed these darling people,

and I think, particularly,
your practical jokes.

Well, you know,
Lady Aberlin loves

to get dressed up
in costumes all the time.

Well, that certainly
fooled me.

I thought it was strange,
but all the same,

I really thought
it was you, X.

Henrietta Pussycat:
Meow, meow, meow, gone,
meow, a long time, meow.

Oh, it has been an awful
long time, sweetie.

Meow, meow, have lots of people,
meow, take care of?

Yes, indeed, I did.
I had...

It was a long time
and a very hard time,

but I had lots and lots
of clever, kind people

looking after me.
Meow.

But you've no idea
how often I wished
that I were not there,

but here
with my dear friends...

Oh, we're so glad
you're here.
...Henrietta and X
and Daniel.

X the Owl:
Yeah. Every time I hear a poem,
I think of the poetry lady.

I do, too.
Yeah.
I'm the same way.

And I know Uncle Friday
has missed her terribly.
Yeah.

You know,
he wants to see you.

Yes. How -- How soon
do we have to be there?

Well, he's expecting you
in his throne room.

I think the time he gave
was 2 1/2 minutes.
Oh, that's not
too bad.


Sometimes it's

Oh, that gives you time.

of a little song, meow, you.

Oh, one of the few people who
knows how to treat me royally.

Oh, great joy,
Miss Jacobsen.

Thank you very much.
You're too kind.

Well, I have had to do without
proper poetry for too long.

Oh, well, we can rectify
that immediately.

That's what I like about you.
You act quickly.

Well, I have a little poem
for you about friends returning.

Oh, good.

"There's joy in

"Coming home again."
How did you know?

Know what,
Your Majesty?

About my own thoughts
of someone coming back.

They were my thoughts,
too, you see.

Oh, yes. Of course.

You did want to
come back, didn't you?

Oh, I wanted to come
back very much indeed.
Yeah.

And, you know,
King Friday,

your very dear
Majesty...
Yes?

It's simply wonderful to have
been able to come home again,

especially to this delightful
Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

Yes. You did come back,
didn't you?

I certainly did,

and I'm entirely
at your service once more,

and I hope for a long,
long time to come.

Yes. Well, I command you to
stay well now, Miss Jacobson.

It isn't quite so easy in
reality, you know, Your Majesty.

Well, maybe not there,
but you're in my castle now,

and that's all
that matters here.

You may come to tea,
if you will.

Oh, I'd love to.
Thank you.

Oh, incidentally,
have you met my niece?

She likes to dress up
in costumes.

Yes, I know.
She's a very clever owl

or anything else
she wants to be.

Yes. Would you care to come
with us to tea, Lady Aberlin?

Thank you, Uncle Friday.

Oh, very good, then.
Come along, both of you,

to my "T" room.

You know where it is.
Yes. I know where it is.
Thank you, Your Majesty.

The "T" room is just down
the hall from the "S" room.

Come along.
Great privilege.

How good it is when
you're all better

and you're able to get up
and run and play again.

Nobody says to you that
you have to stay in bed

and take medicine.

But sometimes it takes
a very long time

to get all better.

But while you're
getting that way,

you have lots of people
to take care of you,

people who really care
about you.

And you and I can visit
together, too,

when you're sick, just the way
we can do when you're well.
