[THEME MUSIC]

-[SINGING] It's a beautiful
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 a beauty.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

I have always wanted to have
and 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.

[MUSIC ENDS]

Hi, neighbor.

I'm glad to be with
you again today.

Do you see what I
brought with me today?

I'll show you.

Do you know what that is?

People use that after
they've had a bath.

It's a towel.

Where's Mr. Rogers?

Peek a boo.

I'll do it once
more, and you say it.

You say, where's Mr.
Rogers, then peek a boo, OK?

That peek a boo game is
one of the first game

that babies like to play.

Do you know another
game like peek a boo?

Somebody hides
somewhere, and then

somebody seeks that person.

That mean somebody
looks for that person.

It's called hide and seek.

Let's play that.

I'll hide, and you seek.

All right?

Don't come with me.

I'll tell you when
you can start.

All right.

Now, I'm hiding.

You start to look for me.

That's right.

You're getting closer.

Keep coming closer.

Oh, now you've gone too far.

I'm not over there, no.

As a matter of fact, I'm
very close to some things

that are swimming.

You're right.

That's fun, isn't it?

I'll try one more place.

Right, now don't
watch where I'm going.

OK, now you can
start to look again.

No, not in the other room.

I'm still in the kitchen.

You're getting very close.

Very close, but you'll have to
come down closer to the floor.

You found me.

I was hiding.

You were seeking,
and you found me.

I remember one time
when I was a young boy,

I was playing hide and seek.

I was looking for
people who were hiding.

And I looked and looked, and
I thought I looked everywhere.

I just couldn't find them.

Finally, I started to cry.

Yeah.

It's really hard when
you can't find the people

that you're looking
for, isn't it?

[MELODIC MUSIC]

[SINGING] 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.

And 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.

There are lots
and lots of people

who sometimes feel like this.

Please don't think
it's funny when

you want the ones you miss.

There are lots
and lots of people

who sometimes feel like this.

[MUSIC ENDS]

You ever feel that way?

I know a little
girl who has a towel

that she likes to
take places with her.

And when she holds
that towel, it

helps her to feel
more comfortable.

Did you ever wonder
how towels are made?

How people make towels?

Well, I have a film to
show you about just that.

This is a film about people
in a factory making towels.

Let's just show it
on Picture Picture.

People making
towels in a factory.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
They usually

begin with big bales of cotton.

Look at that person driving
those big bales of cotton

around.

Factories are often
very big places.

And then some of those bales
are taken and put in bins.

And the process begins.

Cotton has to be chopped up and
cleaned so that it can be used.

And that's what
these machines do.

And this machine fluffs it up.

Makes it very, very soft.

Look at that.

Almost looks like a
cloud, doesn't it?

Then it has to be
brushed out into one

long, soft, smooth sheet.

Wonder how that feels?

Maybe like a feather.

Look at all of those threads.

Beautiful designs, aren't they?

They're getting all wound
up on those spindles.

Those threads, made
from that cotton.

Made from those bales of cotton.

This is the weaving room.

This is where the weaving
machines weave the threads back

and forth that make
the towel material.

See the weaving machine?

All those little
threads getting woven

together to one
piece of material.

One long piece of material.

Look at that.

That material is sent to a place
that dyes it a certain color.

Today, the color is yellow.

They're making yellow towels
today in this factory.

This machine cuts that
long piece of material

into just the right size for
towels, the kind that we use.

This person is going to sew
up the sides of the towel

so they won't unravel.

She knows just exactly where
to sew them and how to do it.

And all those people are
making all of those towels.

This person
inspecting the towels

to see that the
machines and the people

did their jobs just right.

It's almost finished now.

All they have to
do is to put them

in packages to keep them clean.

Then the packages will
probably be put into boxes,

and the boxes sent to the
stores so people can buy them.

Towels.

And to think a towel
like this starts

with little bits
of fuzzy cotton.

Isn't that fascinating to
think how a towel is made?

There are different kinds
of towels, you know.

I think I have one in here
that's different from this.

Yeah.

That's called a dish towel.

You know why it might
be called a dish towel?

Because people sometimes
use it to dry dishes.

Yup.

See, I can go peek a
boo with that one, too.

And it doesn't matter
which one I get behind.

I'm still the same person.

Let's try this one
with the trolley.

[TROLLEY BELL DINGS]

Hey, Trolley.

Trolley, we're playing
peek a boo, today.

Where's Trolley?

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

Peek a boo.

That's right.

See, it'll still be the same
Trolley, even behind this one.

[WHISTLES BLOWS]

You there?

This one's so big, I
might be able to get

the whole way behind here.

Can you see any of me?

Any?

[LAUGHS]

OK, let's make believe that
our friends in the Neighborhood

of Make-Believe receive
some very interesting news.

And what will it be about?

What do you think the
news should be about?

Maybe some towels and games.

All right?

The Neighborhood of
Make-Believe, Trolley.

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

[TROLLEY BELL RINGS]

-Hi, Trolley.

Want your hair dried?

-Trolley doesn't have any hair.

-Oh, I know.

I just making fun.

-That was a good
swim, wasn't it?

-Oh, yes.

I liked it.

And you're swimming better
and better all the time.

-Daddy thinks I
should swim two miles.

-Well, someday you
might, but we all

have to start small
before we can get bigger.

-I'll try to remember that.

[TRUMPETS PLAY FANFARE]

-Oh, here comes your father now.

-Lady Aberlin and Prince
Tuesday, I presume.

-Correct as usual, Daddy.
-Correct as usual, Uncle Friday.

-How much swimming
did you do today?

-Oh, a lot of fun Uncle Friday.

-I mean, how far did you swim?

How many miles?

-Not any miles, Daddy.

-But that's what
swimming is for.

Miles and miles and miles.

-Well, not when you're
just swimming for fun.

-As a matter of fact, we made
up a new game in the water.

Wasn't it fun, Tuesday?

-Yes, Betty and I would go under
the water, and then one of us

would look to the other one.

And then--

-I'm not interested in games.

I'm interested in miles.

Perhaps you both will learn
to swim miles very soon.

LADY ABERLIN: Well, we can.

-Yes, of course you can.

-Oh.

-Oh.

Here comes a bit of--

-Looks like I've come
to the right place.

-Mr. Whom, I presume?

-Strothers, your Majesty.

From Strothers'
racing towel company.

-Mr. Strothers, may I
present my niece, Lady

Aberlin, and my
son, Prince Tuesday.

-How do you do?

-How do you do?

-You may now explain
racing towels.

-Well, it might be
easier to show you.

-Oh, to show us?

-Show you a racing towel.

Yes, right here.

Get ready, get set, go.

LADY ABERLIN: Oh!
PRINCE TUESDAY: Look at them go.

-Wonderful.

-That's spectacular.

-And they race for miles
and miles and miles.

-That's what I like to hear.

Miles and miles.

-Then you might like to
hear of the honor in which

this neighborhood
is about to receive.

-You may tell us, Mr. Strothers.

-Well, you'll receive an
official letter later.

That was fun, wasn't it?

Letter later?

-Yeah.
Letter later.

[ALL LAUGH]

-Letter later.

-You may proceed.

-All right.

I like to make up
games with words.

But the letter you will
receive will inform you

that this neighborhood
has been chosen

as the site for this years'
Make-Believe Olympic games.

-Oh, that sounds
very impressive.

-What does it mean?

-Well, it means that the
Olympic towel race, as well as

all other Make-Believe Olympic
events will be held here.

Right here in your
own neighborhood.

-We accept the honor.

Now, how do we prepare?

-Well, I have a list of
things that need to be done,

as well as a list of people
that we need to help.

-Is there a time keeper?

-Ooh, an important
position, the time keeper.

-Yes, I would imagine that
you would welcome a royal time

keeper for such an occasion.

-Would you like to
be the royal time

keeper for the Make-Believe
Olympic games, your majesty?

-I would consider that as soon
as the official invitation

arrives.

-Very good.

And what would you
two like to do?

-I'd like to watch it first.

-Well, we need
people to do that.

-And I'd like to
dry people's hair.

-Oh, that could be very helpful.

Incidentally, is
that a racing towel?

-I don't know.

Are you a racing towel?

-They don't usually
know until they try.

May I?

-Of course.

-Let's see, are
you racing towel?

Now, overcome the gravitational
pull and move forward.

That's it.

LADY ABERLIN: Oh!

MR. STRUTHERS: Now faster.

Now come back.

-Oh.

-It is a racing towel.

-I never knew it.

-Most people never think to ask.

-That's for sure.

-I'm going to tell Ana
and Daniel about this.

-Oh, would you ask them if I
could have their permission

to hold a Make-Believe Olympic
games here in the neighborhood?

-I'm sure they'd be
glad to have them here.

-But everybody must
be asked personally.

-OK.

Bye bye, everybody.

-Bye, Tuesday.

-Let's see, is there a
queen at this castle?

-There is.

-Well, I must ask
her permission.

-She will say yes.

-Well, I must hear
her yes myself.

-You have very strict rules.

-All the best games do.

-I shall fetch Queen Sara.

-Oh, did someone
mention my name?

-Oh, yes dear.

Mr. Strothers would
like your permission.

-Permission for
what, Mr. Strothers?

-Permission to have the
Make- Believe Olympic games

here in this neighborhood.

QUEEN SARA: Will the
games hurt anyone?

-Oh, they're not meant to.

-Very well.

You have my permission.

Do they have your
permission, Friday?

-Yes.

I will be the time keeper.

-Oh, you'll be so
good at that dear.

-Aunt Sara, do you
have a racing towel?

-Not that I know of.

Why do you ask?

LADY ABERLIN: It has
to do with the games.

-Oh.

That sounds fascinating.

Well, I'm sorry I
missed absent myself.

I'm meeting with the
delegation on space.

I'm glad to see
you, Mr. Strothers.

-Glad to see you
too, Queen Sara.

-Farewell, dear.

-Enjoy your space, dear.

-Thank you.

LADY ABERLIN: Farewell.

-Let's see.

The King, Queen, Prince, and
the Lady have all said yes.

Is there an owl and a pussycat?

-Oh, yes.

That's X the Owl and
Henrietta Pussycat.

-Right, well I must get
their permission, too.

And someone named
Elaine Fairchilde?

-Oh, Lady Aberlin.

I suggest that you
help Mr. Strothers

with his permission assignment.

We want to get on
with these games.

-I'd be glad to, Uncle Friday.

-Farewell to you both.

-Farewell, Uncle.

-Farewell.

-I suggest that we ask
X and Henrietta first.

Then we can talk to Lady Elaine.

-OK.

-Meow meow, Lady meow.

-Henrietta Pussycat.

I'd like you to
meet Mr. Strothers.

-Meow Meow Meow Strothers.

-Hello, Henrietta.

-Hi, hi, everybody.

I just heard we were going to
have some games around here.

-Right you are, X.
This is Mr. Strothers.

He's the man who's come
to ask us whether we'd

like to have the games
here in Make-Believe.

-Well, I do.

I know that.

I love games.

All kinds of games.

-Well, we just like
to get permission

to hold the Make-Believe
Olympic games here,

sometime in the next few days.

-Meow Meow run, meow
fly, meow pole vault.

Meow what meow meow do?

-All sorts of things, Henrietta.

-Meow meow fun?

-We think so.

-Meow say yes.

-Good.

-And I do too.

-Great.

Well, we'll let you know as
soon as the official invitation

comes.

-We still have to ask
Lady Elaine Fairchilde.

-Well, good luck to you.

-Thanks.

We'll see you two soon.

-Meow meow.

-Good bye.

-Good bye, then.

-Hi, everybody.

-Hi, Prince Tuesday.

-Tuesday.

I didn't expect to see you here.

-Daniel said it was
just fine with him,

so long as there
were no wild animals.

-Oh, there won't be.

-And Ana said she'd
be glad to help.

And her mom and dad
said they would too.

-Wonderful.

-Oh, good.

The platypuses.

-And I asked Uncle Corny,
he's glad to furnish

the rocking chairs
for the occasion.

-What about Lady Elaine?

-I didn't ask her.

You'll have to do that.

But I have to go now.

-Just a moment, Tuesday.

Let me just dry your
hair right back here.

-Oh, thanks Betty.

-You've been a big help
already, Prince Tuesday.

-Oh, I'm glad to.

Bye bye.

-Bye bye.

We'll just ring this
bell, right here.

[BELL RINGS]

-Hello, dears.

I know all about it.

-You know all about
the Olympic games?

-Yes, and I'm glad
you came to ask me.

I'm all for it.

-Good.

-On one condition.

-[BOTH] What's that?

-That I get to win.

-Win the Make-Believe
Olympic games?

-You've got it, buster.

-But there are a lot of winners.

-And there are a lot of losers,
and I don't want to be a loser.

-But Lady Elaine,
it's not a game

if you know that
you're going to win.

-I don't care.

One thing's sure.

I'll say yes if
you'll say I'll win.

-Oh, honestly, Lady Elaine.

-Well, that's it.

-Speedy delivery.

Hello, everybody.

Hello.

-Hi, Mr. McFeely.

-This is a delivery
for Fred Strothers

and the inhabitants of the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

-Well, I'm Fred Strothers.

-And I'm an inhabitant.

-Well, let's open it up.

-Lady Aberlin, would
you like to read it?

-Oh, certainly.

MR. MCFEELY: I'll
take the envelope.

LADY ABERLIN:
Thanks, Mr. McFeely.

Oh.

The National Committee for
the Make-Believe Olympic games

hereby invites the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe, East

of Westwood and South
of Some Place Else

to be the official
territory for this season's

Make-Believe Olympic games.

RSVP.

-What's RSVP mean?

-Oh.

It means that everyone's
supposed to answer.

-Well.

You all know my conditions.

See you.

-Lady Elaine having
conditions again?

-Yes.
-Well, you'll find a way.

- Maybe we'd better talk this
over with the king and queen.

-Well, I'll walk to
the castle with you.

-Some people just feel they have
to win all the time, I guess.

-I guess so.

-Well, I have some
more deliveries.

Here's the envelope.
See you around the neighborhood.

Bye bye.

-Thanks Mr. McFeely.

Hi, Trolley.

Get ready for lots of
activity around here.

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

[TROLLEY BELL RINGS]

-It was fun to see
those towels fly.

Just try some in here.

It's just in Make-Believe
that the towels fly.

Course we can make them--
Pretend right here to do that.

[LAUGHS]

Why do you think that Lady
Elaine has to know that she's

going to win before she
ever starts something?

Maybe she's afraid
that people won't

love her if she's a loser.

I wonder if she's ever
thought about the people who

are the best losers in the game.

Being the best
loser takes talent,

just as being the
best winner does.

It's true.

Sometimes people like
the one who's last.

Have you ever noticed
a little toddler

coming behind bigger children.

The bigger children
running along like this,

and the little toddler's just
coming very-- kind of slowly,

but still going behind them.

And the people are just
clapping and clapping

for the little toddler
at the end of the line.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Whether you're first or middle
or last, what's important

is that you are you, and people
can like you just the way

you are.

[MELODIC MUSIC]

[SINGING] It's you I like.

It's not the things you wear.

It's not the way you do your
hair, but it's you I like.

The way you are right now.

The way down deep inside you.

Not the things that hide you.

Not your towels.

They're just beside you.

But it's you I like.

Every part of you.

Your skin, your eyes, your
feelings, whether old or new.

I hope that you'll
remember even when

you're feeling blue
that it's you I like.

It's you, yourself.

It's you.

It's you I like.

[MUSIC ENDS]

You ever able to tell
that to somebody?

Say, it's you I like.

Not all the outside
stuff about you.

The inside stuff is
what I really like.

It was interesting, wasn't it?

All that kind of talk
gives me a good feeling.

Think about things like that.

[END THEME MUSIC]

[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.

[SNAPS FINGERS]

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.

I've enjoyed being
with you today.

You always make
it a special day.

You know how.

By just your being you.

Only one person in the
whole world like you.

I'll be back next time.

Bye.
