[THEME MUSIC]

-[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, 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?

Hi, neighbor.

How are you today?

I'm feeling very good, and I
brought a tree to show to thee.

Yes, this is a tree.

A juniper tree.

It's 1 of 1/2 years old.

Yes, it's been growing from
a seed for 1 and 1/2 years.

I think it's a
beautiful little tree.

I wanted to show you a lot
of different trees today,

but I couldn't bring
a whole lot of trees.

So I asked Mr. McFeely if
he would bring some pictures

of different trees, if he
could find them for us.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

-And-- oh, maybe
that's he already.

Let's look and see.

It is.

Welcome, Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy delivery,
speedy delivery to you.

-Do you have the pictures?

-I do, they're right here.

I have these slides.

I think you can put
them in Picture Picture.

-Good.
Will you watch them with me?

-Oh, I'd like to.

I'd like to tell you
something about them.

-Good.

-I wanted to bring the trees
themselves, but I couldn't.

They're just too
big to carry around.

-Oh, I know.

Some trees are very large.

Should we just start?

-Just start.

-Hi.

-Hi, and speedy delivery.

See, now that's cypress trees.

-Cypress?

-Mm-hmm.

They're evergreen, something
like your juniper tree.

-Evergreen.

That means it's always green.

-Always green.

That's right.

-Forever green.

And these are cypress trees.

-That's right.

-They look like points
going up to the sky.

-Now the next one is
an umbrella acacia.

-It does look like an
umbrella, doesn't it?

-It certainly does.

-Acacia?

-Acacia.

-Imagine sitting under
that umbrella right there.

Umbrella.

-Now, the next one
is a baobab tree.

-Baobab tree.

What a strange-looking tree.

Baobab tree.

-Oh, now that's a dogwood tree.

I just planted one of
those in my backyard today.

-Dogwood tree.

-Dogwood tree.

Now, if you press
the button again,

you'll see a close-up of the
flowers of the dogwood tree.

-Four petals in each flower.

Isn't it beautiful?

-It certainly is.

I enjoy planting trees.

Now, oh, that's an orange grove.

-Orange grove,
where oranges grow.

-That's right.

You can see them
on the trees there.

-And here?

-Now, there you go.

There's oranges and
the orange blossoms.

-Orange blossoms.

-Now, the next one-- do
you know what they are?

Can you take a guess?

-I don't know what that is.

-That's a banana
tree plantation.

You see the picture
of the people here?

How small they are?

And how big the trees are?

-Oh, yes.

-See?

-They're huge, those trees.

-They are.

-What's next?

-Well, there are the bananas.

That's how they grow.

-Oh, they grow right
up into the sunlight.

-That's right.

-Bananas.

-Now, let's see.

That is a fig tree.

-Fig tree?

-Now if you push the button
again, you'll see a fig.

There you go.

There's a fig in the fig leaf.

-Oh, could you just
reach up there, and--

-Oh, no, no.
You shouldn't do that.

You shouldn't take things
off trees and eat them.

You should ask people who
know about things like that.

-I see.

Before you do.

-That's right.

-And what's this one?

-That's a hi tree.

-Hi tree.

Oh, they're very
fun, Mr. McFeely.

-Oh, I thought
you'd enjoy those.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

A hi and a goodbye.

I enjoy planting trees and
looking at pictures, too.

-I certainly like them.

-Well, I'll see you
around the neighborhood.

Speedy delivery to you.

-Speedy delivery, Mr. McFeely.

-Bye!

-He always has interesting
things to show, doesn't he?

Of course, nowhere
except in Make-Believe

could all those different
kinds of trees grow together.

Each one takes a special
climate to grow in.

But they all have roots in
the ground, firmly rooted.

Let's get the trolley and have
some make-believe ourselves.

[TROLLEY BELL]

-Hi, Trolley.

King Friday asked Lady
Aberlin and Robert Troll

to make a mountain
near the castle.

So they've decided to
cover Grandpere's tower.

With trees and
call it a mountain.

Let's just make-believe
that everybody's

helping with the
making of the mountain

at the Eiffel Tower right now.

OK, Trolley.

Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

[TROLLEY BELL]

-Oh, yes, Trolley.

We're all trying to
help make the mountain.

[TROLLEY BELL]

-Oh, I will.

Thank you very much.

Oh, Miss Paulifficate.

-Oh, Queen Sara,
could I help you?

-Thank you.

This little evergreen should
do nicely, don't you think?

-Oh, very nicely.

-I like your orange
tree, Miss P.

-Oh, a little fruit now and then
is very tasty on a mountain.

-Why don't we just
go over together?

-Oh, fine.

Oh, looks like they're
doing very well.

-Yes.

Come along.

-Oh, here comes some good help.

-But we'll try.

-Oh, my.

It looks like you've
done a great deal here.

-Oh, yeah.

We're coming along nicely.

Lady Aberlin and the others have
gone to get a few more trees.

-I see.

It's beautiful

-Oh, could I-- could I put that
up there for you, Queen Sara?

-Well, I think I'd
like to do it myself,

Handyman, so I could tell
Friday than I actually

placed the evergreen
with my own hands.

Do you think it'd
look nice up here?

Right up here, maybe.

Oh!

Oh!.

-Queen Sara!

-Oh, I'm sorry, I
dropped the tree.

-Oh, don't worry about
the tree, Queen Sara,

we'll get that later.

-It's my arm that seems to hurt.

-Oh, well, we must
get you to a hospital.

-Well, I'll be all
right, I know--

-The emergency room.

-Right.

-Yes, we must go to the
emergency room at the hospital.

I'll call Friday from there.

-OK.

-Oh.

I'm so sorry.

I wanted to help and
now look at this.

[TROLLEY BELL]

-Oh, yes, Trolley.

It was an accident, Trolley.

-We're going to
the emergency room.

The emergency room
of the hospital.

[TROLLEY BELL]

-Well, yes, thank you, Trolley.

Yes, all right.

[TROLLEY BELL]

-Of course, that was
just make-believe.

Just pretend.

But did it seem scary to you?

I mean, Queen Sara is a mother,
and she had an accident.

We pretended she fell down
and hurt herself badly enough

to have to go to the hospital.

But we all know that
accidents can really happen,

and that people can
really get hurt.

That's why a hospital
has an emergency room.

That's one place to
go if you need doctors

and nurses to help
you in a hurry.

Have you ever needed to hurry
to a hospital emergency room?

It's hard to think of
rushing to a strange place

if you're sick or
hurt, but I've learned

that if you talk about things
that are scary or strange,

it can make those
things seem easier.

I visited the emergency room
of our neighborhood hospital

so I could help you
to understand better

about the things
that happen there.

I'd like you to see
some of the things

I remember about my visit.

Excuse me, please.

I'm looking for someone by
the name of Maureen Cusak.

-Oh, yeah, she's expecting you.

She's in the triage
room, right over here.

-Thank you very much.

-Well, hi, Mr. Rogers.

-Hi, Miss Cusak.

-I'm so glad you could drop by.

This is my friend Tiffany.

This is her mom, Mrs. Stevenson.

-Hi.

-Would you like to watch
while Tiffany's examined?

-Is that all right if I
watch your examination?

-Yes.

MR. ROGERS: The first room you
come to is the triage room.

That's where nurses
and doctors decide

just what to do to help you.

I learned that Tiffany
had fallen down

and bumped her head.

Her mother brought her
to the emergency room

and stayed with her
during the examination.

-Your knees are OK,
and all this down here?

Just your head,
right up about here?

-Yeah.

-OK.

Does it hurt a lot?

-No.

-No?

Can you tell me what happened?

-I fell off my skates.

-You fell off your skates?

-Yeah.

-You fell off them and
bumped your head, huh?

-Yes.

-Tiffany, what we're going to
do is a couple little things

just to make sure you're OK.

One of them is, take
your blood pressure.

MR. ROGERS: Nurses and doctors
may need to measure many things

before they know
just how to help you,

and children can be a
real help themselves

by telling where they hurt.

-OK, and remember, it
doesn't hurt or anything.

Feels a little bit
tight, but not very much.

Right?

-Right.

-OK.

You can watch me pump it
up down here, Tiffany.

That's a girl.

-See, look at this going up.

And then it'll go down.

-It's real good, Tiffany.

Mr. Rogers, can you move this
out of the way just a bit?

-Sure.

-Tiffany, what we're
going to do now

is measure your
temperature, just the way

your mom does at
home, but this is

a different kind
of a thermometer.

It's a whole lot bigger.

OK?

You want to hold it?

That's it.

Now, we'll put this
under your tongue.

Real easy.

OK?

And you can watch the
numbers right here.

They will be going up,
up, up, pretty fast.

See that?

-Yeah.

[BEEP]

-OK, Tiffany.

That's real good.

It's all finished, so I'm
going to take it out now.

OK?

What we're going to
do next is put you

up on the scale and
measure how big you are.

I'll help you down
off the table.

We'll just-- that a girl.

Hold on with two hands.

OK.

Now, let's get back
up on the table.

Here, I'll help you.

There.

Mrs. Stevenson, I think
Tiffany looks real good,

and what we're going
to do now is take her

into an examining room
where one of the doctors

will do a little different
kind of an examination on her.

MR. ROGERS: Even though this
place is called the emergency

room, there are many
more rooms than just one.

All of these rooms are
part of the hospital's

emergency department.

This room is called
the waiting room.

Sometimes, the
nurses and doctors

are so busy that you
have to wait to see them.

When you're not feeling good,
it can be very hard to wait.

But the doctors and nurses
have to help the people who

need emergency care the fastest.

[BABY CRYING]

-I heard some children
crying in that waiting room.

It's OK to cry when you're
hurt or if you're feeling bad.

Somebody once said to
me, just babies cry.

Well, that's not true.

Every cries once in a while.

Some of the people I
saw in that waiting room

were waiting for x-ray pictures.

I learned that x-ray pictures
can show many of the things

inside a person's
body so doctors

can try to help you get better.

MR. ROGERS: Lionel
Young is a doctor

I know who understands
a lot about x-rays.

-It's good to talk to you
about x-rays, Mr. Rogers.

-Well, I'm glad
to know about it.

And there are many
children who have

questions about such things.

What can you tell
us about it in here?

-This is what we use.

This is an x-ray camera.

-Well, it's huge.

It doesn't look
like a regular one.

-It works like a camera.

-Oh, it does.

-This is the film.

-You mean that if I
would put my hand here,

that could take a picture of it?

-It would take a picture
of the inside of your hand,

not so much the outside.

-Oh, the inside.

-Yes.

Let me show you.

This is an x-ray picture.

-It's not a picture
of my hand, is it?

-No, this is a child
we did two days ago.

The light areas
represent the bones.

This hand shows the normal
bones, and there are no breaks.

In this hand, there's a break
in the center of this bone.

See the sharp edges?

-Right in here?

-Yes

-It must hurt to
have a broken bone.

-I remember when I
broke a bone as a boy,

and it really hurt plenty.

But x-ray can show
us what's wrong

and then something
can be done about it.

-I know some children who might
wonder that if you can see

the inside of a hand
with x-ray, could you

see the inside of
somebody's head

and know what that
person's thinking?

-No.

The x-ray picture won't
show thoughts, feelings.

Those are things that we
really can't see or touch.

Our thoughts are our very own.

-Our thoughts are our own.

That's good to know.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

-Excuse me, Mr. Rogers.

Doc Young.

This is Kirk.

We're going to take
an x-ray of his arm.

You can stay and
watch if you like.

MR. ROGERS: I met
a boy named Kirk

who had hurt his arm that day.

He came to the x-ray room
in the emergency department

so the doctors
could see if he had

hurt anything inside his arm.

Then they could know how to
try to help him get better.

-OK, just turn it over,
nice and easy, and down.

That's fine.

You all right?

-Yeah.

-OK.

Open your fingers for me.

That's fine.

OK.

Now it's important
that you keep your arm

still while we get this x-ray.

Try not to move.

OK.

We're all set.

Now, if you'll just
step out for a moment--

MR. ROGERS: When it's time
to take the x-ray picture,

only the person in the picture
can stay near the x-ray camera.

Everyone who isn't needed
must leave the room.

-All right, Kirk.

Now that's fine.

Just hold still.

Don't move.

MR. ROGERS: The x-ray
camera doesn't hurt,

but if part of your
body is already hurting,

it could be hard to hold it in
the right position for people

to make the picture.

-That's fine.

You can come in now.

You all right?

-Well, that was quick.

-OK.

-It doesn't take long
to take the x-ray.

-Hope you'll be feeling
well real soon, Kirk.

-Thanks.

-OK.

I'll take you back
to your father now.

-Do you think his
arm's badly hurt?

-Just looking at it from the
outside, I don't think so.

But we'll know when we
look at the x-ray picture.

-But what if a bone is broken?

-If it is broken, it'll need
to have a plaster cast-- that's

a special bandage--
to allow it to heal.

Fortunately, children, because
they're growing, heal quickly.

-Doctor Young said that
children heal quickly.

Heal.

That means to get better.

I know that many times I've
had a little cut on my skin,

and each of those
cuts has healed.

Can you remember a time when
you've had a little cut?

Probably a grown-up
you know helped

you to take care of
that cut by washing

it and covering
it with a bandage.

Well, if a person
gets a very bad cut,

there's a place in the
hospital emergency department

that's just for that.

It's called the suture room.

Doctor Holly Davis
showed me that.

I know the emergency
department's a very busy place,

Doctor Davis, so I'm
grateful that you'd

take time to show
us these things.

-Oh, you're welcome, Mr. Rogers.

This room is the
suture room, and it's

the part of the
emergency department

where we take care of children
who come in with cuts.

-All kinds of cuts?

-All kinds of cuts.

-Well, what if I would
come in, for instance,

with a cut on my hand?

What would you do?

-Well, the first
thing we would do,

is we would very carefully
clean the cut using special soap

and extra-clean water to
wash away any dirt or germs

that might be in
or near the cut.

Get it totally clean.

-Would that hurt?

-No, it wouldn't hurt.

Because these are very gentle,
and they don't sting at all.

-I see.

Well then what would you
do after you've washed it?

-Well, then we would
look at it very carefully

to see just how big
and how deep it is.

That way, we can
tell the best way

to bring the edges
of the skin together

so that it heals just right.

-And how would you do that?

-Well, that would depend on the
size and the depth of the cut.

If it were a small cut
or a medium-sized one

and it wasn't very deep at all,
generally what we would use

is something like
this plastic strip.

And we would hold the edges
of the cut together like this

and put the strip
on just like that.

-And then they'd
grow back together,

those two pieces of skin?

-That's right.

-But what if it was
a very deep cut?

-In that case, we generally
have to do some special sewing

to hold the edges of the
cut together more firmly.

-Is that like needle and
thread kind of sewing?

-It's like needle and
thread kind of sewing,

but we do use very special,
fine thread that's extra clean,

and the needles that
we use are very small.

-But that must really hurt.

-Well, it would hurt, however,
we use a special numbing

medicine that numbs the edges of
the cut and stops any hurting.

-Do you have to put it in
like you give somebody a shot?

-It's sort of like a
shot, that's right.

And we inject it in
the edges of the cut.

Unfortunately, when we inject
it, that does sting a bit.

But the medicine starts working
in about a minute or two,

and then all the
hurting goes away,

and there's no hurting
at all when we're

sewing the edges of
the cut together.

-That's a big sting
to begin with.

-That's a big sting to
begin with sometimes, yes.

-So you don't do the
sewing until there

isn't any feeling in the hand?

-That's right.

That's right.

We make sure that
it's absolutely numb.

And then when we've gotten
the edges together just so,

we'll put a bandage
on, like that,

to keeps the cut clean
while it's healing.

And then the children generally
can come back in a few days

and we'll take the bandage off
and we can remove the stitches.

And fortunately, that
doesn't hurt at all.

-Well, that's good.

But I bet when you're
doing this work,

it's very helpful for
the child to be still.

-Well, that is important,
and some of our children

can hold still
all by themselves.

But a lot of children who come
have trouble holding still.

And then it's important to
give them some help with that.

And generally, the
best way of doing that

is to use what we
call a papoose board.

-Papoose?

You mean like Native Americans
used to call their babies?

-It's sort of like that.

Very similar.

In fact, we have one right
here that I can show you.

-Papoose board.

-It has this nice, soft
pad that the children can

lie on and then these special
straps that fold over like that

and hold them in, nice and snug.

-I wonder if I could try it.

-Sure.

So, it's going to be a
little bit small for you,

because it's designed
for children,

but I think you
can get the idea.

-You just put your
head here, is that it?

-That's right.

And watch out for the light.

-Oh, this is a light.

-Yeah, that's our
special light that we

use to help us see
the cuts real well.

Now, once you're in, you bring
these straps up like this

and it'll hold you
in nice and snug.

Now, you're a little bit
big for the arm straps,

but I think you get the idea.

-I do.

That would hold you in.

Help you stay still.

I would think that it would be
very hard to remember to stay

still if you were
scared and hurting.

And I imagine there are a
lot of people who come here

who are hurt and scared.

-Well, that's true.

But one nice thing about
working in a place like this

is knowing that we have
a lot of different ways

in which we can help
children to get better.

-Thanks for doing
that, Dr. Davis,

and thanks for showing us.

-Oh, you're welcome.

-Doctors and nurses have many
different ways to help you get

better, but it's your body
that does the healing.

Mm-hmm.

You may have had a
toy doll or teddy

bear that got torn or broken.

Well, dolls and teddy bears
don't heal themselves.

But a person's body
can heal itself.

That's good to know, isn't it?

And often your doctor
or nurse can tell you

ways to get better faster,
maybe by taking care

to keep your bandage clean and
dry and getting enough rest

and eating good, healthy foods.

Of course, I hope you
never have an accident

and have to go to
your hospital's

emergency department.

But if you ever do, many of
the things you'll see and hear

there will be like
the things you've

seen and heard with me today.

Some of the things might
be a little different,

but all hospitals have
doctors and nurses

who want to take
good care of you.

I wanted to show you what
an emergency room was

like, because I
think that you like

to be told important
things, too.

I know I do.

[SINGING] I like to be told
when you're going away,

when you're going to come back,
and how long you will stay.

How long you will stay.

I like to be told.

I like to be told if it's going
to hurt, if it's going to be

hard, if it's not going to hurt.

I like to be told.

I like to be told.

It helps me to get ready
for all those things,

all those things that are new.

I trust you more
and more each time

that I'm finding those
things to be true, true.

I like to be told because
I'm trying to grow,

and I'm trying to learn,
and I'm trying to know.

I like to be told.

I like to be told.

Don't you feel that way, too?

So much to think about.

You know, when children have
an accident and get hurt,

their mothers or fathers
sometimes seem angry and sad.

Why can't you be more careful?

I've heard parents
say to their children.

Well, that's because we've
grown-ups care about children.

We don't want you ever to
be sick or ever to get hurt.

We want you to be as
careful as possible

so you can keep yourself
well and healthy

all the time you're growing.

It's a good feeling to know that
there are people who care that

much about you and want to help.

[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.

You always make each
day a special day.

You know how.

By just your being you.

And people can like
you exactly as you are.

I'll be back next time.
