Hi. You know what this is?

Oh, I bet you've played
in one of these.

Or you have a younger
brother or sister who has.

Let's see if I can fix it.

Oh, it's broken.

Well, it's an old one.

I'll get it all together here

Because there's somebody
special to go in it.

There.

Wait till you see--

This is a dog blank--uh-oh.

I told you.

Well, wait till you see
who is going to come in it.

I'll be right back with her.

Hello.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'd like you to meet
lydia stout.

Lydia stout, I'd like
you to meet my friends.

Mm-hmm.

What do you think of this?

It's a playpen.

Would you like to play
in that pen?

Ohh.

She thinks it looks
a little bit like a fence.

And she's not so sure

That she cares
too much for fences.

Well, there are
all kinds of fences

In the world, lydia.

Mm-hmm.

Some are very good.

And some are--well...

♪ Fences, fences

♪ The world
is full of fences ♪

♪ And some I like
and some I don't like ♪

♪ The kind that keep me out

No.

♪ The kind that keep me out

♪ Are the kind
that make me pout ♪

♪ They're the kind
that have no date at all ♪

♪ They're the kind that go up

♪ Much too tall

She wants to go in.

♪ Fences, fences

♪ The world
is full of fences ♪

♪ And some I like

♪ Some I do like

♪ The kind that keep me safe

See, you're safe.

♪ The kind that keep me
safe, I say ♪

♪ Are the kind that keep me...

Yes. There you are.

♪ They're the kind that
help me drive my car ♪

♪ So I never have
to go too far from ♪

♪ Fences, fences

♪ The world is full of fences

♪ From what I see,
they're a help to me ♪

♪ And the ones I hate
I can tolerate ♪

♪ So...

♪ Fences, fences

♪ The world can keep
its many, many ♪

♪ Fences

♪ Fences

How many fences
do you know about?

Did you ever hide
on the other side
of a fence?

Or did you ever just
play hide-and-seek?

Lydia, would you mind
if I played hide-and-seek

With you right now?

I think lydia's
almost asleep.

I'll play it with you, ok?

I'll be back.

You see? I came.

I always come back
when I say I will. Do--

[Knock on door]

The door.

How many times have I
gone up these--well...

Oh, good day,
mr. Rogers, good day.

Speedy delivery
for mr. Rogers.

Good day, mr. Rogers.

How are you, mr. Mcfeely?

Oh, I'm always around
and always speedy,
mr. Rogers.

Now, if you'll sign
right on this page,
right there.

Yes, i--but, mr. Mcfeely,
I didn't order anything.

Oh, well, if you'll
read the note inside,

Mr. Rogers,
it's self-explanatory.

It's from king friday,
mr. Rogers.

King friday?

Yes, and thank you.

I have a lot of work
to do. Always speedy.

Good day, mr. Rogers.

You can't stay, I guess.

Can't stay.

He's always very busy.

Well, king friday. Gee.

He must feel an awful lot
better than yesterday,

Sending presents.

I wonder what this is.

Could you guess?

Kind of heavy.

"For mr. Rogers."

Well...

Hey, it's something
that plugs in.

Do you like
things that plug in?

So do i.

[Ding-ding ding-ding...]

It's a clock.

Well, now, just wait a minute.

It's not a kind
of a clock that--

It looks like
a punch clock.

Have you ever
seen a punch clock?

The kind that some men
and some ladies use

When they go to work,
and you just put the card in

And it punches,

And it tells the time
when they come

And the time that
they leave. Let's try it.

[Ding ding ding ding ding...]

It's going.

Ok, I guess you just push it in.

It should click
when it punches. Let's see.

[Click]

Yeah, it did.

See?

It punched the time.

Let's try once more.

[Click]

Ha ha.

Oh, I sure would like
to see inside.

I wonder if that's--yeah.

Not everybody gets to take
a punch clock apart.

Oh, boy, look at all that.

Isn't that grand that king
friday would send us such a--

Why, we can just have
everybody play with this.

I better put it together now.

Very carefully.

Very carefully.

Ask your mom or your dad

If they've ever used
a punch clock.

That's great.

Why don't we thank king friday
for the punch clock, ok?

Come on over.
We'll give him a call.

I would like to speak
with king friday xiii.

[Royal piano chords]

King friday, I want to thank
you for that punch clock.

[Piano chords]

Not a gift?

Well, what is it?

[Piano chords]

Oh, it's an order.

Uh, why is it an order,
king friday?

[Piano chords]

Oh. Everybody who comes
in and out of here

Must punch it
every single time.

[Piano chord]

Am I the only one
who has one?

[Piano chords]

Oh, I see.

Everyone has one. Right.

Thanks anyway, king friday.

And, uh, happy day to you.

[Piano chords]

Brave and strong day, he said.

Let's go see what's happening

In the neighborhood
of make-believe,

Apart from the castle.

Telescope.

Do you see daniel's clock?

There it is,
ticking away.

It looks all right to me.

It looks all right to me.
Uh-oh.

Uh-oh.

There's a punch clock,

Right on the fountain.

You see any others?

Oh, there's one,

Right at the museum.

Do you suppose everybody
has to punch in and out?

There's the tree.

Does x and henrietta have one?

Oh, they do.

I wonder what
they think about it.

And there's one
on the factory.

[Ding ding]
well, there's the trolley.

[Dinging]

We will see what's going on
when the trolley comes.

Come on, trolley.

[Dinging]

Hi, trolley.

Whoo...

[Dinging]

Do you have to punch
in and out, too?

[Ding ding ding
ding-ding]

I figured as much.

Well, maybe
you'd take us right in

So we can hear
some of the people talk

In the neighborhood
of make-believe.

Would you, please?

[Dinging]

On we go.

[Dinging]

[Hammering]

But I really don't
understand, joe.

It's king's--
king's orders, daniel.

King's orders.

Oh.

Oh, excuse me.

Dropped the punch card.
Excuse me.

Punch card?

Yeah. Just about
set now. Let's see.

Put the finishing
touches on this.

It looks like a little
clock. Heh heh.

That's what it is.
It's a punch clock.

Punch clock?

Punch clock.

Oh.

Right. And the king says

That everyone has to
check in and out, daniel,

Every time he goes
in or out.

You mean, you put
the little card in--

That was a fly.

Yes, it was.

You mean every time
I go in the clock--

Oh, that fly.

He's back again.
Shoo, shoo.

Yeah. Would you--
would you scratch me

Right there, please?

Right there?
How's that?

Ha ha!
Oh, thanks.

Thanks. You mean, every time
I go into the clock,

I have to punch this clock?

Right.

Hmm. And every time
I come out,

I have to do
the same thing?

You have to punch out.

Punch in and punch out.

That's kind of funny
to have a clock

On a clock. Heh.

That's right.
It is kind of funny.

You know what else?

What?

You have a knock...
Yeah.

On the clock...
Yeah.

On the clock.

Ha ha! Or a clock

On a clock on a knock

On a clock and a clock

And a clock on a knock.

Or a clock on a clock--
speedy delivery

For mr. Negri,
speedy delivery.

Good day,
mr. Negri.

How are you?
How are you?

Fine, thank you.
This is for me. Oh.

Hello there, daniel.
Haven't time
to talk today.

Haven't time to talk.
Speedy delivery.

That's your
service copy.

Just sign this,
mr. Negri.
Sign right there.

On the dotted line.
Right on
the dot there.

You're always busy,
aren't you, mr. Mcfeely?

Always on the go,
daniel, always
on the go.

Mr. Negri,
good day.

Take it slow there,
mr. Mcfeely.

Good day.

He really does move,
that fella, doesn't he?

Oh, he is always busy.

I have asked him
so many times

Just to come in
for a, you know,

A sip of clock
hot chocolate or something,

And he always says,
"good day, good day,

Too busy. Sorry.
Too busy."

He really is
a busy man.

What is it
he brought you?

Well, you see,
he brought me another--

Another punch clock.

Only this one is for
the eiffel tower
for grandpere.

What do you mean,
there's one for everybody?

Oh, yes, everybody in
the neighborhood has one.

I've put most of them up,

And this is the last one
I have to put up.

Well, that one won't go
on a clock on a clock

On a knock, anyway.

[Laughing]
no, no, it won't.

Well, you sure you know
how to work your clock

On your clock, huh?

Yeah, I sure do.

I don't know
whether I like it,

But I'll do my best.

Well, you know,
we'll all get over
this somehow.

I hope so.
Oh, down it goes.

Down it goes.

Yeah, can you
fix it quickly?

Yeah, I'll fix it
real fast.

Just put it
right back up there.

There it is.
You take care.

Bye.
Good. Ok. Bye.

Oops. There it goes again.

You're supposed to punch it.

Well, you know

You could make up

Well, not really trouble.

We've even been having
some fun with it.

Oh, good.

And I've also been playing
hide-and-seek today.

What have you all
been doing?

Playing. I think
playing a great deal.

Good. That's what we do

When we're children,
isn't it?

Mm-hmm.

Have a good time playing.

You have a song

Yes, we do.

Uh, "thumbkin."
"Where is thumbkin?"

Oh, yeah, I remember that.

It is a tough one.

Yeah.

Good.

And pinkie.

And then everybody.

It's sort of like
hide-and-seek, too, isn't it?

Yes, it is, uh-huh.

Because they're all

Behind your back.

Mm-hmm. And we start.

You've got to punch
