[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

-[SINGING] It's a beautiful
day 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
a 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, you 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.

Hi neighbor.

I've been thinking about zippers
as I was coming along here.

And I wanted to show you-- I
have some things with zippers

here.

First of all this bag has
zippers right along the top.

See here?

Zipper.

And inside the bag are--
you know what these are?

A pair of boots with zippers.

In fact, that's
about the first thing

that zippers were used on.

When they were called zippers.

You know what
zippers were called

when they were first invented?

Class blockers.

They were called that
for about 30 years

before people call them zippers.

Here's-- what's this say?

It says what's in it?

What do you suppose is in it?

Some people take
things like this

to school, pencils and erasers.

It's like a pencil box
with a zipper on the top.

All sorts of things
with zippers.

This doesn't have
a zipper on it,

but there are lots
of zippers in it.

It's a film of how
people make zippers.

So why don't we just show this
film right now, all right?

I'd like you to see how people
and machines make zippers.

OK, Picture Picture,
we're going to show

how people make zippers.

MR. ROGERS: In this factory
they make metal zippers.

And they start with big
coils of metal, like this.

And this metal gets put onto
cloth strips, called tape.

See that tape there.

And people working
in the factory.

It takes a lot of people to
help make these machines work.

And all those machines
are doing the same thing.

Making zippers.

This machine cuts the
long pieces of metal

into little pieces,
called teeth.

And the teeth are then
stamped onto the cloth tape

that we saw.

Happened so fast that
you can hardly see it.

But you can see the
zippers coming out.

It's coming one side at a time.

Looks like miles
of it, doesn't it.

But of course, that's
just the one side of it.

They need to be closed up.

And that's what this man does.

Puts two sides together.

And he makes sure that the
zippers close correctly.

Zipper, zipper, zipper, zipper,
zipper, zipper, zipper--

Now it's time to iron out
the cloth part of the zipper.

And of course people have to
be watching these machines all

the time to be sure that
they work just right.

It takes people to
do anything well.

Now once it's squeezed thin,
it's put into hot water.

Look at that bubbly hot water.

And then it's dried.

Look at all those
zippers being dried.

Beautiful.

And once that's finished,
that long string of zippers

is going to get cut
into separate zippers.

And then this man's job is
to attach the zipper pull.

You know, that little thing that
helps you pull the zipper up,

a little tab.

Now the zipper needs a top stop.

You know, that's something
that stops it at the top.

It keeps it from coming
apart at the top.

This woman puts it on
with a very fast machine.

Now they need to be checked to
make sure that they work just

right and then packed
in boxes to be sent

to manufacturers and
stores that need them.

It looks like there's another
box that's ready to go.

-So many zippers.

And of course so many different
kinds of zippers in the world.

That's a very interesting film.

I used to be afraid that my chin
would get caught in the zipper

when my mom zipped it up
on my jacket, like that.

Do you or your parents have
any clothes or any other things

with zippers on them?

Now when you see
a zipper, you can

remember how people made them.

There's so much to find
out about in this life.

And if there are things
that you wonder about,

you could ask the people
who love you about them.

If they know about
them, they can tell you.

And if they don't, they
can find out about them

in books and from other people.

Let's have some make-believe.

[TROLLEY CLANGING]

-Trolley.

Last time we were together,
we pretended that the king

and queen were going to
go away for a few days.

They were invited
to teach a course

at the Royal school
of Castle Management.

And they were going to
call the Mayor of Westwood

to see if she could
be a night and day

caregiver for Prince Tuesday.

He didn't want a
babysitter, because he

said he wasn't a baby.

But he did say he could have
a night and day caregiver.

Well, let's make
believe the Mayor Maggie

comes up with a fine idea today.

And X the Owl could get
some good news from the Owl

Correspondence
School-- with a zipper.

[TROLLEY CLANGING]

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Oh, Trolley!

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

You're delivering
the mail today.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

Thank you.

Let's see.

The castle, factory,
Museum-Go-Round.

Oh, here's an interesting
one for X the Owl.

It has a zipper on the envelope.

Maybe I'd better take
it to him right away.

Hi X.

-Hello, Lady Aberlin.

-Oh, you don't sound too happy.

-That's because I'm not.

-Anything I can do for you?

-You could give me some
good news from my school.

-Your Owl Correspondence School?

-Yes, my OCS.

They always make
me wait too long.

-Would this be a help to you?

-Lady Aberlin,
where'd you find that?

LADY ABERLIN: Trolley
just brought the mail.

-Oh, thank you.

Would you please open it for me?

I'm all wings.

LADY ABERLIN: Of course,
X. It has a zipper--

X THE OWL: Oh, it's
a wonderful school.

LADY ABERLIN: --For an opener.

X THE OWL: What's in there?

What's it say?

LADY ABERLIN: It says,
"Dear OCS student."

X THE OWL: That's who I am.

LADY ABERLIN: --"You
have been chosen to learn

about Native American culture.

Your first lesson is in
this zipper envelope."

X THE OWL: Oh, well what is it?

Let's find my first lesson.

LADY ABERLIN: But I
don't see anything.

Oh, here's a tiny note at
the bottom of the envelope.

It says "Air."

And on the inside
it says, "Think

about all the things
you can do with air."

X THE OWL: Just think
about plain, ordinary air?

-I think it's a
wonderful lesson.

Air is one of the most
important things we have.

-I guess I couldn't fly
without it, could I?

-Ha.

You're so right.

-But what does it have to do
with Native American culture?

-One lesson at a time, X.

-Yes, that OCS always
knows what it's doing.

-I hope you have
good air thoughts.

-Thank you.

-I must be on my way delivering.

-OK, breathe in some good
make-believe air, Lady Aberlin.

-I surely will.

X THE OWL: Bye bye.

-Bye bye.

[HUMMING]

-Hello, Lady Aberlin.

-Oh, hi, Lady Aberlin.

-Oh, Mayor Maggie and Mr. Aber.

Is everything well with you?

-Very fine, thank you.

Mr. Aber is my
Associate Mayor of Care.

And we've just been talking
to King Friday and Queen Sara

about night and day care
in this neighborhood.

-They're leading
today, you know.

-We know.

That's one of the
reasons why I'm here.

I'm going to be in charge
of night and day care

while they're gone.

-Oh, that's just great.

If there's anything I can do
to help, please let me know.

-Right now, we need to
find Prince Tuesday.

He seems to have
wandered off somewhere.

-Wandered off?

-Yes, but he needs to say good
bye to his mother and dad.

-And to me.

I must get back to my
mayoring duties at Westwood.

-Well, let's all
go look for him.

And then let's meet
right back here.

-Good idea.

-Well, if it isn't Chuckie A.

-Oh, hi, Lady Elaine.

-Hi.

-I am the Associate
Mayor of Care.

-Oh, well have you
come to care for me?

-Well, actually I've come
to look for Prince Tuesday.

-Well, he's not here, Toots.

But how about opening that
letter for me that just came?

-Certainly.

-Mm hm.

You just pull it out.

CHUCK ABER: OK.

LADY ELAINE: Just unfold it.

CHUCK ABER: All right.

Oh, that is beautiful,
Lady Elaine!

LADY ELAINE: Yeah,
that's a good one.

And people send them to me
from all over the world.

I have a whole room in the
museum for paper snowflakes.

-Well, I'll have to come
in and see it someday soon.

-OK, Chuckie A, see you.

And I hope you find your prince.

-Oh, thank you.

-He might be at Daniel's clock.

They visit sometimes.

-It looks like Mayor Maggie
is checking over there.

-Oh, yes, well she'll see.

-Sometimes he does
come here to play.

-We really need to talk with him
before his mother and dad go.

-Well who's going to take
care of him when they're gone?

-Mr. Aber will.

-Does he have to go
to Mr. Aber's house?

-No, Mr. Aber will be
coming here for a few days.

-A lot of children have to
go to other people's houses

when they get
night and day care.

-I know.

And that's important to
talk about, isn't it?

-It surely is, Mayor Maggie.

Anything that people
feel real strongly about

is important to talk about.

MAYOR MAGGIE: Why do you
think that is, Daniel?

-I guess if you talk
about something,

it doesn't seem so scary.

-Not so scary as when you
sit and think about it

all by yourself.

-Yes.

All by yourself times
can be pretty scary.

-Especially when
there isn't somebody

you love real close by.

-But you can call and ask
them to come and be with you.

-Yes.

-And sing to you.

Mayor Maggie?

MAYOR MAGGIE: Yes, Daniel?

-Would you sing
me a little song?

-Of course.

What song would
you like to hear?

-Oh, anything that
comes from your heart.

-All right.

[SINGING] When your heart
has butterflies inside it

then your heart is full of love.

When your heart feels
just like overflowing then

your heart is full of love.

Love is fragile as your tears.

Love is stronger
than your fears.

When your heart can sing
another's gladness then

your heart is full of love.

When your heart can cry
another's sadness then

your heart is full of love.

Love is fragile as your tears.

Love is stronger
than your fears.

When your heart beats for
a special someone then

your heart is full of love.

When your heart has
room for everybody then

your heart is full of love.

-When your heart has
room for everybody.

Oh thank you, Mayor Maggie.

MAYOR MAGGIE: You're
welcome, Daniel.

I like to sing for you.

-Do you think Mr. Aber will
sing for Prince Tuesday?

-That will be for him
and the Prince to decide.

-They'll have a lot to decide
the next few days, won't they?

-They surely will.

But first, we must
find the Prince.

-Have you looked in his play
place near the castle garden?

-Not yet.

-I think I see Lady
Aberlin over there now.

Sometimes that's
where the Prince

plays when he wants
to think a lot.

-Thank you, Daniel.

You're a special friend.

-I like you too Mayor Maggie.

-Come visit us in
Westwood some day.

-I'd like to.

And I hope you'll
come back here too.

-Thanks.

I will Daniel.

I have such a big job to
do that I can't always

be exactly where I'd like to be.

-I know.

-I'd better see if Lady Aberlin
has found Prince Tuesday.

-Bye Mayor Maggie.

-Bye Daniel.

Ugga mugga.

-Ugga mugga to you.

-I just wanted to play
alone, that's all.

-I can understand that, Tuesday.

But Mayor Maggie
wants to see you.

And your mom and dad want
to say good bye to you.

-I don't know why
they both have to go.

-Because they want them to
teach that course together.

-Why do I have to have
night and day care.

-Children your age
should just not

be expected to have to take
care of themselves all day

and all night.

-I don't want to talk
about it anymore.

-All right.

But you do need to say good
bye to your mom and dad.

-OK.

Where are they?

-Oh look.

Here comes Mayor Maggie
and Mr. Aber, I found him.

[FANFARE]

Oh, here's Uncle Friday.

-Assembled throng, I presume?

-[IN UNISON] Correct
as usual, Uncle Friday.

-I thought I heard
Tuesday's voice just then.

-You heard many
voices, Uncle Friday.

-I know but did you
hear him too, Sara?

-I think I did.

Sounded close by.

-He is close by, King
Friday and Queen Sara.

-Oh yes?

-He's right here.

-Oh!

-Hello, Mother and Dad.

-Why Tuesday, where
have you been?

PRINCE TUESDAY: Playing.

-We've been looking
everywhere for you, son.

-How could you hear my voice?

QUEEN SARA: What
do you mean, dear?

-Well, how could
you and Daddy hear

my voice with all
those other voices?

-Oh, parents know how to listen
for their children's voices,

dear.

-Yes, that's just something
that parents are able to do.

I guess it has something
to do with love.

-But you're going to go away.

-Yes, we are.

And we're going to come
back after a few days.

And Associate Mayor of Care
Aber will supervise things here

at the castle
during our absence.

Won't you, Mr. Aber?

-I will, King Friday.

KING FRIDAY: Since
we know you so well,

I feel much better
leaving you in charge.

-I wish I could stay too.

-I know you do, Mayor Maggie.

But you're the head
Mayor of Westwood.

-We appreciate you loaning
your Associate Mayor

to our neighborhood,
Mayor Maggie.

-Your neighborhood will
be in very good hands.

QUEEN SARA: And the
most important thing

is that our Prince
Tuesday is in good hands.

CHUCK ABER: Oh, we'll have
a good time, Queen Sara.

I just found out
that Lady Elaine

has a snowflake room
in her Museum-Go-Round.

That's one place we can go.

-I've already been.

-Well, we'll go again.

And we'll find other things.

We'll have time to talk.

You'll have time to play
and be with your friends

and go to your school.

Oh, do you know the
telephone number of the place

where you'll be
staying, King Friday?

KING FRIDAY: I certainly do.

And you may call us
whenever you like.

The number is 111--

CHUCK ABER: 111.

---That's the area code.

Then 222.

CHUCK ABER: 222.

KING FRIDAY: 3334.

Miss Paulificate can dial
it at any time for you.

-I want to call it now.

-But we're not there yet, son.

-I know.

But I want to tell them
that you're coming.

-Just a moment,
I'll get the phone.

-Well, I'm not sure
that I see the point.

-Tuesday may want to
check on the number, dear.

-And he may want to
hear what the people

sound like where you're going.

-You're both right.

-Here you are Tuesday.

Would you like me
to make the call?

-I'd like to do it.

Operator?

I'd like to call 111-222-3334.

Hello?

This is Prince Tuesday.

Yes, that's my parents.

Well, they're going to come
to your place to teach.

And then they're
going to come home.

You take good care of them, OK?

Yes.

Well, they're the only
mom and dad I have.

OK then.

Bye.

Thank you Lady Aberlin.

-You're welcome, Tuesday.

-Thank you Tuesday, for wanting
us to have good care too.

-OK, Dad.

-I'm going to give you a hug
and kiss good bye, Tuesday.

LADY ABERLIN: Bye
bye, Uncle Friday.

KING FRIDAY: We'll be back.

Come along, Sara.

Come along.

-The cars go away.

-And then they come back.

-Yes, then they come back.

-Just like your mom and dad.

They're going to go away.

And then they're
going to come back.

-111-222-3334.

-That's it.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

[TROLLEY CLANGING]

-When your mom and
dad go away from home,

do they leave a number where you
can call them if you need them?

Many parents do that.

The King and Queen wanted to be
sure that Prince Tuesday would

have good care while
they were away.

But the Prince wanted to be sure
of some things with them, too.

Everybody likes to
know important things.

Give you some food fish.

There.

You know, most children who have
mothers and dads who work don't

stay at their own home
for their day care.

They go to somebody else's
home or to a daycare center,

like one of the places
we visited last time.

And some children have
their grandparents

come to stay with them.

Or they go to their
grandparents' house.

There are many
different arrangements

that people can make when both
moms and dads have to go away

from home to work
at the same time.

But one thing is sure.

And that is that everybody who
goes away to work and everybody

who has day care, everybody
has feelings about it.

Some are pleasant feelings.

Some are scary feelings.

Some are angry feelings.

But every one of
the feelings is one

we can talk about with
the people who love us.

The people we love.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

There's somebody at the door.

Let's see who that is.

Oh, it's Mr. McFeely.

Mr. McFeely.
MR. MCFEELY: Speedy delivery.

Now here's the delivery.

-Oh, thank you very
much, Mr. McFeely.

When does she need it back?

-Later on today.
-Fine.

I'll take it to her then.

-OK, see you.

Bye bye.

-Thanks, Mr. McFeely.

I wanted you to see this.

This is something
that children practice

when they're in kindergarten.

Do you remember the time
we visited Mrs. Hartmann

at the neighborhood
kindergarten?

She showed us one
of these squares.

I thought it was something
we should see again.

See, over here is a zipper.

We've talked a lot
about zippers today.

But here is something else.

How are you coming
with your tying?

Took me a long,
long time to learn

how to tie a bow like that.

Here's a different
kind of fastener.

Here's another kind.

There are many ways to
have things stay together.

What about this, down here?

Looks like a belt with
a buckle, doesn't it.

So a buckle is another way
to keep things together.

We'll do more things next time.

[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.

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 have a lot to
take with me today.

Remember I brought
this zipper bag?

And what was in it?

This, the boots,
and something else.

What else was in this bag?

A film.

The zipper film.

We do lots together, don't we?

We make it a special
day for each other.

You know how.

By just our being ourselves.

I'm myself.

You're yourself.

So we make it a special
day for each other.

I'll be back next time.

Bye bye.
