-[SINGING] It's a beautiful
in this neighborhood,

a beautiful day in
this neighborhood.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

It's a neighborly
in this beauty-wood,

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 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?

-Greetings, to you,
television neighbor.

I'm always glad when
we can be together.

I wanted to show you
something that I brought.

This is a very special case with
something extra special inside.

But the case is locked.

And we need to find
which key will open it.

So let's take a good
look at these keys.

Well, these probably won't
because these are plastic keys

that some very young children
just chew one and play with.

They won't work.

Now, let's take at these keys.

What about that one?

No, that's too big.

What about that one?

Think that's too big too?

Mhm.

I think that one's too big too.

We better look for
some very small ones.

Let's try this one.

Maybe it needs to
go upside down.

Almost, is there a
smaller one that that?

Let's try the smallest
one of all, this one.

Oh, that's turning.

That's it.

What's in here?

A very special model of
an old-fashioned airplane.

Isn't that beautiful?

See if those will-- yes,
those propellers go around.

You know, when I
was in school, I

used to make models
of planes like this.

And I remember one that I made.

I worked on it for weeks.

Well, I decided that I just
had to see if it would fly.

So I took it outside
to a vacant lot.

And I flew it, but it
hit a building and broke.

Some toys are very fragile.

In fact, this particular
model airplane

is so fragile that it
really isn't a toy at all.

It's just something for people
to look at, not to play with.

Do your parents
have any things that

look like toys
but really aren't?

Things that you are
not supposed to touch?

Well, I understand how hard it
is not to take the things that

belong to grown up people
and play with them.

Just keep that right in there.

I do have one that
I can play with.

It's made out of balsa wood.

We can put it together.

That's the body of the plane.

Just put the wing in like this.

And the tail back here.

Why don't we just take this
outside and try flying it?

I think I'll go over here and
try flying it on the porch.

Once more.

Good.

Oh, there's Mr. McFeely!

Hey, Mc.

McFeely.

My airplane.

-Model airplane?

-Would you like to try?

-Sure, I'd like to try.

-Been throwing it
up on the porch.

-All righty.

-Oh, you fly that well.

-Perfect three point landing.
-That's right.

How's your bike?

-Oh, it's doing fine.

I take good care of it.

It's an important part of
my speedy delivery service,

you know.

-I do know that.

-Well, I knew you were
interested in flying today.

So I brought over a
videotape of my visit

to the air traffic control
tower at the airport.

-Oh, is that something we
can see on picture picture?

-Yes, could we do that?

-I'd like to.

Come on in.

-Take the airplane in.

People who work in the
air traffic control tower

have very important jobs.

-Oh, they certainly do.

I'd be interested to see that.

Here, let me put the--

-You put in.

And I'll explain as
we see it, all righty?

-Very good.

A little visit.

MR. MCFEELY: Mr.
Henderson told me

he'd meet me outside
the control tower.

He said it would
be easy to find.

And it was.

MR. ROGERS: That's good.

MR. MCFEELY: That's it there.

Preston is a training
instructor for air controllers.

And he said he'd show me
as much as I wanted to see.

MR. ROGERS: Where
do you go first?

MR. MCFEELY: Up, I wanted
to see that control tower.

MR. ROGERS: It's really tall.

MR. MCFEELY: Here we are.

MR. ROGERS: Good many
people working there.

MR. MCFEELY: There are.

And each person has a
special air control job.

For instance, Preston told
me that when a plane is

ready to leave the
airport, the pilot

is told where the
plane can safely fly.

These directions are
printed on pieces of paper.

Those are they right there.

Then the clearance delivery
person reads them to the pilot.

-Good morning, USA Air 509.

Expect flight level--

MR. MCFEELY: That's Al.

He speaks into a
kind of telephone.

-Frequency will be


MR. MCFEELY: Once the
pilot has the directions,

the plane is ready to taxi.

That means it's ready to move.

That's Pat.

And it's her job
to direct the pilot

while the plane
is on the ground.

-USA Air 374, taxi runway.

MR. ROGERS: She
talks very quickly.

MR. MCFEELY: She's very busy.

MR. ROGERS: They all
are, it seems to me.

MR. MCFEELY: I thought the
plane would just take off.

But Preston said Helen
was in charge of that.

-The departing 99 is westbound.

Cleared for takeoff.

MR. MCFEELY: She makes sure
that it's safe for the plane

to take off.

And there it goes.

MR. ROGERS: There
it goes, is right.

MR. MCFEELY: Once an
airplane is in the air,

it still needs to have people on
the ground to guide it safely.

Air controllers
use a machine that

shows them a picture of where
each plane is up in the air.

That machine is
called a radar scope.

MR. ROGERS: I'd like to see
how that radar scope works.

MR. MCFEELY: Oh, you will.

Preston wanted to
show me where people

learn to use radar scopes.

Here, I met Pattie.

She works with Preston
when they're teaching.

There was a radar
scope available.

So Preston and I
went there next.

MR. ROGERS: Is that it?

MR. MCFEELY: Yes.

MR. ROGERS: But it looks just
like a lot of dots and lines.

MR. MCFEELY: That's
what I thought too.

But air controllers know how
to read those dots and lines as

if they were pictures of
airplanes flying in the sky.

MR. ROGERS: Amazing.

MR. MCFEELY: Each airplane has
a group of letters and numbers.

And as the real plane
moves across the sky,

these letters and numbers
move across the radar screen.

And there it moves!

MR. ROGERS: And there it moves!

MR. MCFEELY: Whenever an
airplane is in the sky,

air controllers
on the ground can

talk with them
all along the way.

They always want to
be sure that there's

enough room for each
plane to fly safely.

MR. ROGERS: Enough
room up in the sky?

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

In the sky.

It takes a lot of work
to do this job well.

MR. ROGERS: Caring for people
can be hard work sometimes.

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

There are lots and
lots of machines that

are used to help air
controllers do their work.

And this person makes sure
the machines work properly.

When an airplane
is ready to land,

the air controller in the tower
makes sure it's safe to land.

He has to pay close
attention all the time.

-1012, 40, cleared to land.

MR. MCFEELY: Once
the plane has landed,

it's time for the ground
controller to do her job again.

-US Air 344, ground
taxi to the ram.

Contact ramp control.

MR. ROGERS: So her work
just keeps going on and on?

MR. MCFEELY: Yes, it
does, plane after plane.

MR. ROGERS: So many
helpers for so many planes.

MR. MCFEELY: Yes, and
I'm sure glad Preston

could teach me about it.

-So those are the people who
help pilots know when it's

safe to go up in the air and
land back down on the ground?

-That's right.

I'm glad we have people
who do that work out.

-I'll say.

-Well, I better go back on
my speedy delivery bicycle.

I have more deliveries in
the neighborhood today,

and more pickups.

So I'll just right to you
right now, speedy delivery!

-Speedy delivery, Mr. McFeely.

Thank you for coming.

-You're welcome.

I'll be back another
day with another one.

Bye!

-Bye!

I like Mr. McFeely.

I was just thinking that after
I played with model airplanes

a lot, I got to high school
and I started taking lessons

to learn how to fly
a real airplane.

And I finally learned
how to do that.

I had a very fine teacher.

But that's why I always
tell you how important it

is to play about things
because playing about something

gives you idea of what the
real thing might be like.

You know, your play is
very, very important.

Let's fly on over
to the trolley.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Let's pretend that HJ Elephant
is still looking for a key that

will open that special
room in the museum that

has the elephant gymnastic toy.

And let's pretend that Prince
Tuesday comes home from school

and his parents
give him a new bike.

A lot to think about in the
Neighborhood of Make Believe.

OK, Trolley.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Hi, Trolley.

But how can you tell which
key will work, Handy?

-A master make believe key has
a very special shine to it.

And it's able to fly
in the air by itself.

-Fly in the air by itself?

-That's what King
Friday told me.

So I guess we should try
flying some of these.

-Yeah.

-Go.

Let's try this one again.

-Well, well, it it's not
a handy and an elephant.

-Hi, Lady Elaine.

-Hi, what are you two up to?

-Well, Handyman is trying
to find a flying key.

-Well, now, I think
I've seen it all.

Why in the world would
you need a flying key?

-Well, King Friday says it's
one way to find the master.

-Why do you need to master?

-Well, it's not for me.

-For you, HJ?

-Well, yes, Lady Elaine.

You see, I want to get into
that special room of yours

so we can see the
gymnastic elephant.

-Aha!

-I want to do it for my friend.

-Neighbor Aber, I know.

Well, I've got to
admit something to you.

I'd like to get in
that room myself.

But I don't know
where the key is.

-Well, if we find the master,
will you open it for us?

-If you promise not
to touch the toy.

-Oh, yeah, I promise.

I promise.

-It's a deal.

When you find the
key, bring it to me.

You can see, I speak poetry.

Too-too!

-Too-too, Lady Elaine.

-Oh, now that one shines, Handy.

-But it doesn't fly.

[TRUMPETS]

-Handyman Negri and Mr.
Elephant, I presume.

-Correct as usual, King Friday.

-Have you found the
master make believe key?

-Not yet, sire.

-Remember, it shines and flies.

-It's very hard to
find, King Friday.

-Anything worthwhile is
hard to find, Mr. Elephant.

It's worth the search.

-Hi, everybody

-Oh, Niece Aberlin, I presume.

-Correct as usual, Uncle Friday.

-Is there a reason
for your speed?

-There is.

Prince Tuesday is on his
way home from school.

You wanted to know
when he was coming.

-Yes, thank you for the news.

We will prepare the surprise!

Would you accompany
me, please, Handyman?

We will fetch the
queen and the bike.

-Of course, sire.

-Lady Aberlin may continue
the search for the master.

Come along.

-Master?

-HJ will tell you about it.

-Well, Lady Aberlin, you
see all of these keys?

-Yes.

-We're trying to find the
master make believe key.

-How would you ever find
it among all of these?

-Oh, it shines.

-Here's a shiny one!

-Yes, but the master
key shines and flies.

-Flies?

-Yes.

-Hello, Cousin Betty and HJ.

-Hi, Tuesday.

-Where's Daddy?

He was here a minute ago.

But he went inside with Handyman
Negri to get your mother.

-Oh, boy, do you think they
really have one for me?

-Have one what?

-You know.

[TRUMPETS]

-Son, Prince Tuesday, I presume?

-Correct as usual, Daddy.

-Did you receive my
message at school?

-Life is good.

-That is correct.

-Do you and Mom
have a bike for me?

-Your mother may
speak to that issue.

I simply wanted you to know that
before there were any bicycles,

or any keys, or anything,
that life was good.

Life is good, and
always will be.

-I see, well, thanks.

-And we're very proud
of you, Tuesday.

And we have a surprise for
you, don't we, Handyman?

-I'll say we do.

-You did get a bike.

Thanks, Daddy!

-It was your mother who
got it for you, son.

-Thank you, Mom.

-You're welcome, my baby.

-Oh, it's beautiful.

I can hardly wait to try it.

Oh, that's not the way
it's supposed to be.

-It takes a lot of
trying, Tuesday.

I fell about 100 times before I
learned how to ride just right.

-So did I.

-I never did ride a bicycle.

-You want to try?

-Well, sure.

Wait a minute!

-I'll help you, HJ.

-No, no, I mean, look.

-What is it?

-Look what fell off the bike!

-It's a key!

-Yeah, but it's a shiny key!

-Why does a bike need a key?

I don't see any lock.

-I don't think it's
for the bike, Tuesday.

-What's it for then?

-Let's see if it flies.

-It does!

-I don't understand!

I never saw a key fly.

-It's a very important
key, Tuesday.

-It looks like it's
fun to play with.

Is it mine too?

LADY ABERLIN: Well, it did
fall of your bike, didn't it?

-Can anybody make it fly?

-We'll see.

[WHIRRING]

-It's a wonderful key.

But you all can play with that.

I'll ride the bike.

I want to show it to Emma.

Gee, thanks Mom and Dad.

Thanks a lot.

-You're welcome, son.

-You're welcome.

-May you have many happy
miles, many safe miles

on your bicycle.

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Yes, you too, Trolley!

-What a day!

Life is good!

[TROLLEY WHISTLE]

-Well, Prince
Tuesday has his bike.

But it's not very easy to
ride right away, is it?

No, it's hard.

No matter how nice
the bicycle is,

it's very hard to ride a bike
without somebody to help you.

But children have time to
practice things like that.

That's one wonderful
thing about childhood.

You can take your time to
learn things and do them well.

-[SINGING] I like
to take my time.

I mean that when I
want to do a thing,

I like to take my
time to do it right.

I mean I just
might make mistakes

if I should have to hurry up.

And so I like to take my time.

To tie my shoes, to
eat, to get dressed,

to go to sleep at night,
to sing a song for you.

In everything I do, I
like to take my time.

I mean that when I
want to do a thing,

I like to take my
time to do it right.

I mean I just
might make mistakes

if I should have to hurry up.

And so I like to take my time.

-Every once in a
while, do you just

like to take your time
with whatever you're doing?

I was just thinking,
this friend of mine

who made this
model certainly had

to take his time to do that.

All those little pieces
going together, woo!

What a big job that was.

But he loved it.

And I like this.

Even though it's
something just to look at.

The way there are many
interesting things in museums,

just to look at.

Even grownups can't
touch those things.

Put it in there.

I know of a kind of airplane
that people can make that you

don't have to put in a
case made out of paper.

Let's go to the kitchen.

I'll show you how to make one.

You might like some food, fish.

You hungry?

Those little ones are.

Did you ever see anybody
make a paper airplane?

You just fold a piece of
paper in half like that.

And then bring these sides down
to make it kind of a point.

See what it looks like now.

And bring this part
almost over to there.

See that?

And then the same thing on
this side, almost there.

And then once again, do the same
thing on this side once again.

And that's what it
looks like inside.

Let's try flying it.

I like that, out of
a piece of paper.

as I was flying it,
I was pretending

that I was sitting right
in there as a pilot.

So many ways to play.

I'll put both of those
planes in the hangar.

We'll make believe
more about the master

make believe key next
time we're together.

Give me a good feeling to know
that we get together often.

-[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'll be back next time.

Buh-bye.
