Chef brockett
handed me this box
As I was walking
down the street,
Says, "I'll see you later."
So let's look and see
what's in it, all right?
I need some scissors.
♪ Da da bum ba dum
Did you ever have somebody
give you a box that was all--
Well, it sure is wrapped
up, isn't it?
Oh, dear. Look at all
the things that are on it.
String.
Heh.
Rubber bands.
♪ Please won't you be
my surprise box? ♪
Heh.
Let me see now.
What do you when you have--
Let's see.
Ha!
Can you read?
Let's see what this says.
There's not a thing in here
but this note.
"Dear mr. Rogers,
I will be over today
"To fill this up.
Yours truly,
chef brockett."
There's a little person
with a chef's hat on.
Oh, and I was all ready
to eat something.
Well, what about
a glass of milk anyway?
Who gives you the milk,
Or do you just go
to the refrigerator
And get it yourself?
I think just
a half a glass today.
Half a glass of milk.
Does your mom sometimes
pour it for you?
I know some girls
who would like to be
Just like their mothers.
♪ I'd like to be
just like my mom ♪
♪ She's pretty
♪ And she's nice
♪ She knows just how
to make the bed ♪
♪ And cook things
out of rice ♪
Mmm!
♪ And daddy likes
the things she does ♪
♪ The way she looks
♪ And gee
♪ I'd like to be
just like my mom ♪
♪ And have someone
like me ♪
It's good milk.
My great grandmother
used to say,
"You should take an hour
to drink one glass of milk,"
But we don't have
an hour to drink it.
Mr. Rogers is
drinking it too fast.
Ohh. It's good.
Better wash it.
Who washes the glasses
in your house?
Does your dad ever
wash them?
I bet he helps,
doesn't he?
I know some boys who'd like
to be just like their dads.
♪ I'd like to be
just like my dad ♪
♪ He'd handsome,
and he's keen ♪
♪ He knows just how to
drive the car ♪
♪ And buy the gasoline
♪ And mommy likes
the things he does ♪
♪ The way he looks
♪ And gee
♪ I'd like to be
just like my dad ♪
♪ And have someone like me
Well, you boys probably
will be like your dads.
Mm-hmm. And you'll do
lots more things
Than just driving cars
and buying gasoline,
And you girls will probably
be like your mothers, too.
Some mothers, you know,
go out and work.
Yep. They don't just make
the beds and cook the meals.
Mm-hmm. Lots of different things
that happen in this world.
I still am interested to know
what chef brockett's
Going to put
in that box.
Let's ask picture picture.
Picture picture
on the wall,
Would you kindly
show us all
What chef brockett's gonna
fill that box up with?
One teaspoon of salt?
One cup of milk?
My goodness! That box
isn't big e--
One teaspoon of vanilla
And two eggs?
Now how could he put
all of that in there?
"It's for the king."
Well, maybe king friday asked
for all of those things.
I don't know. Well--
[Doorbell ringing]
Ooh. That's the backdoor.
Maybe that's chef brockett now.
Let's see.
Is that you,
chef brockett?
Ah. Good day,
mr. Brockett.
Good day. Speedy delivery,
speedy delivery.
I mean, mr. Rogers.
I called you chef brockett
because I have a note
From chef brockett,
mr. Rogers.
Well, thank you
mr. Mcfeely.
How are you today?
Oh, busy as usual.
Busy as usual.
You're always busy.
"Dear, mr. Rogers,
I will be 27 past
the time I expected
"To arrive,
which was 12:00,
"So if you will
count to 8 9/10,
I should be there.
Your friend and mine,
chef brockett."
Well, thank you
very much.
How much is
delivery today?
Mr. Rogers. 3 Today.
Let me see.
Where did I
put the 3?
Well, we can charge it
to your account if you
like, mr. Rogers.
No. I have it.
Oh, you have it.
There you go.
Both: 1, 2, 3.
Good day, mr. Rogers!
Thank you,
mr. Mcfeely.
Thank you!
Take it easy,
mr. Mcfeely.
Well, it says to count
to 8 9/10.
Let's see if it works
and see if he comes.
[Knocking on door]
Ok. Is that you,
chef brockett?
Chef brockett: uh-huh.
How are you?
Hi, mr. Rogers.
How are you?
Oh. Is it raining
outside?
No, but I carry
my umbrella because
You never know
when it might.
Oh, that's true.
Well, what do you
have in the box?
Oh, this is a surprise.
I can't tell you
About it right now.
Well, how about
singing your song?
Oh, I'm sorry,
but I don't
have time
To sing my song.
I came here to
make a surprise
for the king.
Oh, good.
Can we go
in the kitchen?
Yes, certainly.
You can come with me,
but you know we
Have to be quiet
in there.
Oh, that's right.
Mustn't talk. Shh.
You--you won't talk?
No.
Ok. Well, then
let's go.
And your box
is here now.
Oh, good. Fine.
I should clean it up.
Can I get you
anything?
Shh.
All right.
Salt?
Shh.
What is it you're
gonna put in there?
[Sniffs]
Flour.
Want me to do it?
Want me to sift it?
Zzzt, zzzt, zzzt,
zzzt, zzzt, zzzt.
You're allowed to make
those sounds, huh?
Shh, shh. Zzzt.
Baking powder.
Sugar. Heh heh.
Salt.
Milk? You need
some milk?
I just had some
milk to drink today.
What's that?
Melted butter?
This. Wooden?
Vanilla?
Never saw anything
made like this.
You say it's a surprise.
Is it a pudding--
Shh!
That good?
Heh heh.
[Blows]
That's why you need
an apron.
Shh!
Just a little bit
more?
Ha!
Won't you tell us
what it's gonna be?
It's gonna be
two things?
You're gonna put it
in the stove?
Count real fast?
Ha ha!
Now how did you
do that?
It's a cake,
isn't it?
A two-layer cake.
Is it the king's
birthday?
Shh.
No.
Oh, the icing.
That'll keep it
together, won't it?
Oh! That's beautiful.
Can I help you? No.
I know people now
who when they go
Into their own kitchen
they say, "shh!"
Shh! Shh!
Shh.
Sparkles.
Beautiful.
Oh. You want it
in the box?
You did it,
chef brockett.
I have to hurry
and get this
to the king.
Oh, is he gonna
be surprised!
Well, I hope you
have a good time.
I don't want to
forget my umbrella.
It might rain.
Bye, mr. Rogers.
Bye, chef brockett.
Everybody's in a hurry today.
Yeah. Oh.
I forgot to tell him
about what's going on in--
I mean,
you know what's going on
In the neighborhood
of make-believe.
I wonder how he'll
get through there.
Well, let's check.
Let's just see.
Must be time
for the trolley.
There's daniel's clock.
And there's the museum...
And the tree
where x lives
And henrietta's schoolhouse
And the factory.
Doesn't look like
anything's the matter th--
Uh-oh. There's lady aberlin.
It looks as if she's
guarding things.
Come on in, trolley.
[Ding ding ding]
Hi, trolley.
[Ding ding]
Trolley, how are things
in the neighborhood
of make-believe?
[Ding ding
ding ding]
Oh. That's what
I was afraid of.
Well, chef brockett's
on his way,
But he doesn't know
what's going on there.
Would you take us
and let us see, please?
Ok. In we go to
the neighborhood
of make-believe.
[Ding ding]
[Ding ding]
[Ding ding]
[Ding ding ding]
My trouble is that
I just don't understand
All this you've
been telling me.
Well, corney.
I know--i know
sometimes
It is hard
to understand
the king's rules,
But that's
the way it is.
Yeah, but you say
serial number
And all those things?
All I was gonna do
was to come over
And say, "hello,"
You know, simple
like that.
Oh, I know, corney,
but great uncle friday
Just insists that
everyone
Who comes
onto his property
Must give his
full name, rank,
and serial number.
Well, I've got my name,
you know,
Cornflake s. Pecially,
But, uh, I don't have
any rank really,
And, uh, I certainly
don't have a serial number,
So, uh, I think I'll
just not bother
coming over today.
Heh. Just say hello
to everybody for me,
will you?
Ok. I will.
Have a good day.
Thanks! You, too.
I'll go down
in my elevator
and work now. Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
He doesn't even
want to bother
going down.
Well, if great uncle friday
wants to act that way,
I guess that's
what it will be like.

Well, it's pretty good
to check on what you eat,
But if it's somebody
who you know real well
Who's giving it to you--
I'm afraid chef brockett's
feelings were hurt.
You know, he left something
in the refrigerator.
It just doesn't say
anything on it,
And I wonder...
[Metal clinks]
"For mr. Rogers."
Jell-o and a spoon.
I'm gonna write him
a note right away,
And I'm going to say
that gelatin is one
Of my favorite things to eat.
"Gelatin is one...
"Of my favorite...

And I will take
that note to him
As I go back to my work today.
How do you feel
