[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?
Welcome, neighbor,
to this neighborhood.
See this fancy box?
I'm going to tell
you what's in it.
Something to cover my hair,
and something to cover my eyes.
The thing to cover
my hair is a wig.
Long ago, some people
thought that one kind of wig
was the style, so
they wore that kind,
and they wore a certain
kind of glasses.
And that would be the style.
And then, later, the
style would change,
and they would wear
something else.
[TELEPHONE RINGING] And--
Oh, there's the phone.
Just get it.
Hello?
Oh, hi, Don.
Yes.
Well, certainly, I would.
Thank you very much.
All right, I'll look
forward to seeing you.
Bye-bye.
That was Chef Brockett.
He wants to bring
something over for me.
What do you suppose it'll be?
We'll just wait and see.
I'll show you another wig.
This is a different one.
See, I look a little
different in that one.
These wigs remind
me of something.
Uh, when I was a
little boy, one day,
my mother had her hair
done a different way,
and, uh, she wore some
glasses like this,
some-- some dark glasses.
And when I saw her, I
didn't know who she was.
When she came close to
me, I started to cry,
because I thought
she was a stranger.
Of course, she was
still my mother,
but I didn't know it, because
her hair looked so different,
and the dark glasses
covered her eyes. [KNOCKING]
Well, maybe that's
Chef Brockett.
I'll just leave these on.
It is.
-I'm looking for Mr. Rogers.
-That's who I am.
-Oh.
[GASP] [LAUGHING] I
hardly knew you with
the wig and-- and those glasses.
-Does look different,
doesn't, it?
-Well, have you guessed
what it is I'm bringing you?
-Something to eat?
-No.
Something to wear.
Something that I wear to work.
-Oh, a-- a baker's, uh, apron?
-No, but you're close.
-Chef's cap?
-That's it.
-Oh.
-Here you are.
-Always wanted a chef's cap.
Oh, thank you, Don.
What a great chance to--
-Now you're in style, huh?
-Ha ha.
-You can do this with me.
[SINGING] I'm a chef.
I suggest that you all be
very quiet while I cook.
You may look, but you
must be very quiet.
If you don't, then I'll shh,
and I'll shh, shh, shh, shh!
For it's silence that I
ask for in my kitchen.
Speaking of my kitchen,
I better get back there.
I have work to do.
-Oh, what a quick delivery.
Well, thank you for this.
-Oh, you're welcome, Fred.
-You are a generous person.
-I like to be.
I'll see you around
the neighborhood.
-OK, Don.
Thank you.
How does it look?
There are many different
styles, aren't there?
Let's have some make-believe.
What a good day.
[CHIMING] Last time we
pretended that the people
in the neighborhood school
were making up a play.
Anna Platypus was planning
to be a ballerina,
and Daniel Tiger was
going to be a raccoon,
and Prince Tuesday
said he wanted
to be a giant and a king.
Mm-hm.
The one problem in
the neighborhood
is that Handyman Negri can't
find King Friday's spare crown.
The King never
wears it, and hasn't
talked about it for a long time.
But just when they
can't find it,
the King has decided
that he wants to see it.
Let's make believe that
Handyman Negri's still
looking for that spare
crown as the trolley goes
into the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.
[WHISTLE]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[WHISTLING AND CHIMING]
-No, I haven't found it yet.
[WHISTLING AND CHIMING]
-I left it right here,
with Prince Tuesday,
while I went to get
some polish for it.
And when I came
back, it wasn't here,
and neither was the Prince.
[FANFARE PLAYING]
-Handyman Negri, I presume?
-Correct as usual, King Friday.
-Uh, how do like this,
uh, cape and robe?
HANDYMAN NEGRI: Um, oh, it suits
you just fine, Your Majesty.
-Good.
-Um, and what's more, it
goes so well with your crown.
I mean, it-- it
matches perfectly.
-Oh, but I think I'll
wear my spare crown
when I get all dressed
up for the play.
I haven't worn it in years.
My spare crown.
-Well, I've been trying to-- to
polish your spare crown, sire.
-Uh-huh.
Well, that's what I hear.
Well, just so it's
ready when I need it.
-Did you find it?
-Uh, find what, Niece
Aberlin, I presume?
-Oh, correct as
usual, Uncle Friday.
-For what is it you're looking?
-Oh.
Uh, we've been having
some hide and seek.
You know.
KING FRIDAY XIII: Hide and seek.
Yes, well.
I'd be delighted to play, but
just one game, and I'm not it.
-I'll be it.
I'll be it.
You two hide, and I'll seek you.
-OK.
-Very good.
-Y-- you cover your eyes and
count, and uh, no peeking.
-OK.
One, two, three, seven,
nine, eleven, thirteen.
Fourteen.
Anyone round this castle
garden is I-T, it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
CHEF BROCKETT:
[SINGING] I'm a chef.
I suggest that you all be
very quiet while I cook.
You may look, but you mu-- Uh,
I wonder where everyone is.
Uh, I-- I've never seen
this place so deserted.
-Not it.
Not-- Oh, Chef Brockett.
Are you playing
hide and seek too?
-[LAUGHING] I didn't know.
If I was, I didn't know it.
-And what do you have here?
CHEF BROCKETT:
This, King Friday,
is a crown cake, brought
to you from my own bakery.
-Why, it's magnificent.
I shall descend
to see it better.
How very generous of
you, Chef Brockett.
-Well, I heard that
there was a lost crown--
HANDYMAN NEGRI AND
BETTY ABERLIN: Shh.
- --and I thought I'd like to--
-What?
-Shh, shh, shh.
Chef Brockett.
-Uh, what was that
about a lost crown?
-Uh, I had heard a rumor that
somebody had lost a crown,
but you have yours, King Friday.
-Uh, yes, and, uh, Handyman
Negri has my spare crown, uh,
don't you, Handyman?
-Uh, uh, somewhere, yes.
Uh, how about another
game of hide and seek?
-Sure.
KING FRIDAY XIII: Sounds
to me that we'd better
talk about crowns instead
of more hide and seek.
-All right.
The whole truth is that the
other day, I was planning
to polish your spare crown, and
Prince Tuesday was holding it
while I went to get the polish.
And when I came back,
the crown was gone.
-And Prince Tuesday?
-Well, he was gone too.
-Has anyone questioned Tuesday
about the crown's whereabouts?
-I have, Uncle Friday.
He says he doesn't
know where it is.
-Very well.
I suggest you all become
crown seekers instead
of hide-and-seekers, and
report back to me anon.
-Yes, sire.
-Crown seekers.
-Now where could that crown be?
-Well, it's not in
this cake, I know that.
-Uh-uh.
-And it's-- it's not--
not under my hat.
-No.
-No.
-No, it isn't there.
-Not there.
-It, uh-- isn't
under my hat, is it?
-No.
-No, it's not there.
-Not there.
-Well, we're just going
to have to go beyond here.
I'll go to the school.
We're having a rehearsal
of the play anyway.
Let me know if you find it.
-OK.
We will.
-I'll go see Edgar
Cooke inside here.
-And I'll do some close-up
looking with my binoculars.
-Now, class, suppose we
sing the addition song.
Y-- you know, the one that
starts with one and one
are two?
-Yes.
-Yes.
-I like that song.
-Mm-hm.
-The numbers get
bigger and bigger.
-Well, that's what happens when
we add one number to another.
The sum is bigger.
All right, class, let's sing.
-[ALL SINGING] One
and one are two.
Two and two are four.
Four and four are eight.
And eight and two are 10.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
-Very good.
Now we'll talk about
the school play.
-I'm not sure I should
be in it, Ms. Cow.
-Why not, Prince Tuesday?
I thought you were going
to be a giant and a king.
-Well, I don't feel
like either one today.
-But playing the part
might be able to help.
-And I'm going to
be a ballerina.
And I'm going to dance for
the giant, and for the king.
-Oh.
-Hi.
-Hi, Lady Aberlin.
-Hi.
-I've just come from the castle,
and Uncle Friday has found out
that his spare crown is missing.
-Oh.
-He's sending people to
look everywhere for it.
-Oh, that's good.
-But you were the last one to
see it, weren't you, Tuesday?
-I don't know.
Do you suppose
some giant took it?
-Are you sure you
don't know where it is?
-I'm sure.
If I knew where it was, I'd
ask to wear it for the play.
-Oh, we can make you
a crown for the play.
-Yeah, well, we could use
a paper cup, like this one.
-That's a great idea, Harriet.
-How can I be a giant king
with just a paper crown?
-Well, that's what
plays are for.
They're for making the
best of whatever you have.
-Well, as you know,
I have a raccoon
costume, so I'll
just be a raccoon.
-And I have a tutu.
So I'll be a
wonderful ballerina.
-Mm-hm.
-I'll do my best
with a paper crown,
but I surely hope they find
my daddy's spare real crown.
-Chef Brockett is
helping with the search.
He and everybody else
will do their best.
Now we must get on with making
up the story for the play.
-[SINGING] I guess it's
nowhere to be found.
-Gotta be somewhere.
Any luck?
-I've searched far and near,
and farther and nearer,
and I haven't seen it anywhere.
[FANFARE PLAYING]
-Uh-oh.
-Uh, crown seekers, I presume?
-Correct as usual, King Friday.
-Have you found the spare
covering for the King's head?
-Uh, actually, King
Friday, uh, w--
we haven't really completed
our search yet, but, um--
CHEF BROCKETT: But
we have a stylish
substitute for a spare crown.
-Stylish?
-Stylish.
-Yes.
-Didn't you know?
Everyone who's anyone these
days is wearing a chef's cap.
KING FRIDAY XIII: Oh.
-Uh, yeah, uh, Handyman
Negri, he's-- he's been--
he's been very anxious to
borrow mine, haven't you, Handy?
-Oh.
Wh-- Yeah.
Yeah, I really have.
Uh, I-- I do hope it fits.
-Oh.
Well.
-See?
-Oh, you're stylish.
Yes, stylish.
Uh-huh.
-How does it look?
-Very stylish.
-[SINGING] I'm glad to know
that I'm in such style.
-Well, I would imagine
that your stylish chef's
hat might fit King Friday.
-I was just wondering
that myself.
[LAUGHING]
-You know, I've always
said that Edgar Cooke is
one of the most
generous fellows I know.
-[SINGING] You're welcome
to have it, King Friday.
-Oh.
-Here.
-Thank you.
-Let me put it on, King Friday.
-Yes, thank you.
-Thank you, Edgar.
-Yes.
-Right there, sire.
-Oh, right on the crown, yes.
[LAUGHING]
-Now that's real style.
-You think so?
CHEF BROCKETT: Oh.
Now you tell me what other king
today is wearing a chef's cap.
Any king can wear a
crown, but what other king
today is wearing a chef's cap?
-Ah, well, I never
thought of it that way.
I guess there are all kinds
of styles, aren't there?
-How right you are.
But there's one style
that we all can have.
-And what is that?
-[SINGING] It's the
style to wear a smile.
Do you know how to
put one on your face?
In a while, you'll
feel your smile.
You'll know it's there to
wear, it's there to share.
Your smile's your
style upon your face.
-Upon your face.
Lovely sentiment.
Nevertheless, I think I'll be
wearing a broader smile when
we have located the other crown.
In the meantime, we shall
wear our chef's hat,
and partake of the
Brockett crown cake,
in anticipation of
seeking success.
[WHISTLING AND CHIMING]
-King Friday looked different
in Edgar's chef cap, didn't he?
[LAUGHING] You can get dressed
up in the fanciest of things,
but the best style
comes from inside.
And it often spreads to
your face with a smile.
[SINGING] It's the
style to wear a smile.
Do you know how to
put one on your face?
In a while, you'll
feel your smile.
You'll know it's there to
wear, it's there to share.
Your smile's your
style upon your face.
Wonder if they'll find
that spare crown of King
Friday. [KNOCKING]
See who this is.
Oh, it's Mr. McFeely.
Come in, Mr. McFeely.
-Speedy delivery.
Well, the library
just got it in.
-Good.
"How People Make Sneakers."
-That's right.
-Thank you.
Can you watch it with me?
-I do have some time.
In fact, I had a
chance to watch it,
so I'll explain it as
we watch it, all right?
-Very good.
Come in.
-OK We can put it
on picture picture.
-Look what I got.
-MR chef hat, right?
-[LAUGHING] Right.
Let's put on picture picture.
-All righty.
-"How People Make Sneakers."
Oh, thank you for this.
-I'm sure you'll
find it interesting.
-Uh-huh.
Let's look.
-All righty.
-"How People Make Sneakers."
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
First of all, this big sheet
of blue rubber is made into
the bottoms of the sneakers.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: You
mean that thing's all rubber?
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
It's all rubber,
and it's going into the machine.
And this machine forms the sheet
into long, thick rubber strips.
MR. ROGERS
[VOICEOVER]: They look
like, uh, thick blue ribbon.
MR. MCFEELY
[VOICEOVER]: They do.
Up, up, up, and they're
getting cooled by some water.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Oh,
so they were hot before.
Now they're getting cooled.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]: Cooled.
That's right.
Next, the long strips are
cut into shorter strips.
Each will soon become the
bottom of the sneaker.
You see, the shorter strips
are coming out of the machine.
There they are.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
Sure doesn't
look like the bottom
of a sneaker to me.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
Well, not yet.
But just wait.
The strips of rubber are put
into these molds and melted.
That's what this man's doing.
And he has to wait
for a few moments.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
They look very hot.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
Oh, they're hot.
And you see, the rubber has
melted just the right amount,
and it forms the
bottom part of sneaker.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Aha.
Oh, now that does look like
the bottom of a sneaker there.
Now what happens?
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
Well, next is trimming.
This machine is doing that.
It's trimming off extra
rubber from the edges.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: And
what are those men doing?
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]: Well,
these men look at each one
and trim off any more
rubber that the machine may
have missed.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Aha.
That's the bottom of the shoe.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
That's the bottom of the shoe.
And next, the inside
of the sneaker is made.
Some people call
that part the insole.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
The inside.
You mean where you--
where you put your foot.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
That's right.
This machine cuts out many
layers of insoles at one time.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Aha.
Just look how many it can do.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
Now these men check
each insole to make
sure it's just right.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
Now what's this?
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
This is the top part
of the sneaker being
cut out of canvas.
Now this machine works
something like a cookie cutter.
It presses down and
cuts the canvas.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Hmm.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]: It
cuts it in just the right size
and shape for the
top of the sneaker.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
Isn't that fun to see that?
MR. MCFEELY
[VOICEOVER]: Now watch.
He'll bring out some top parts.
There you go.
MR. ROGERS
[VOICEOVER]: Those are
gonna be top parts of the shoe?
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
That's right.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Now
what's this woman doing?
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
She's putting
in the holes for the shoelaces.
Oh, see, there they go.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
Oh, it's fun
to watch how fast
that machine works.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
Now this woman
sews all of the canvas
top parts together.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: I'm
not sure that I understand.
MR. MCFEELY
[VOICEOVER]: See, that's
beginning to look
like a sneaker.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Oh.
Look how fast she works.
It must take a lot of
practice to do that job right.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
Oh, it sure does.
Sneakers are being formed.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
Oh, now that's
beginning to look like one.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
Well, at last, it's time
to put all the parts together.
First the top part is
glued to the insole.
See, there goes the glue.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Hmm.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
On the conveyor belt.
It's on its way.
Here comes another.
You'll see it again.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
There's the insole.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
Insole, and some glue.
And on its way.
Then the sneaker is
dipped in some more glue.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
Oh, I thought
that was the white trim that
goes around the outside.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
It looks like the trim,
but really, it's glue to
hold the trim on the sneaker.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Aha.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]: And
when the glue has dried just
the right amount, this woman
adds the first layer of rubber
trim around the bottom of
the shoe, you see there.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Hmm.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
She's doing it now.
MR. ROGERS
[VOICEOVER]: She really
works carefully, doesn't she?
I wonder if she ever
thinks about all the people
who might be wearing a pair of
the shoes she's helped to make.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
I'll bet she does.
MR. ROGERS
[VOICEOVER]: You think?
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
Finally, it's
time to attach the
top to the bottom.
This man makes sure
both parts match.
See, he's-- recognize that part
he's-- has on the bottom there?
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Mm-hm.
The sole.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
The sole, yeah.
And the machine
presses them together.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: And
now it's all glued together.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
But the sneaker
needs to have one more rubber
strip put around the outside,
and then it will be finished.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: That
lady works carefully too.
I never knew it took so many
people, and so many machines,
to make a pair of sneakers.
That's really
interesting, Mr. McFeely.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
You know me.
I like finding out about
all kinds of things.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Mm-hm.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
And these people
are putting in the shoelaces.
MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
One for each shoe.
MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
And this woman
does one last check to be
sure they're just right.
See, she looks them over.
And this woman puts the
sneakers in the boxes,
and then they're ready to be
sent off to stores for people
to buy them, and to wear them.
-Thank you for
that, Mr. McFeely.
-Well, you're welcome.
You-- you know something?
The sneakers we just saw
in the tape were something
like the ones you
wear, aren't they?
-Mm-hm.
Pretty much.
It was very
interesting to see how
people make shoes like that.
-Well, I thought
you'd like to see.
You know, I have the other
one on order from the library.
-The one about sweaters?
-About sweaters.
And I'll bring it someday.
-Very good.
Uh, how would you like
to try my chef's cap?
-Well, I'd like to
try that, and you
can try my speedy delivery cap.
-All right.
-There you go.
There's that one.
-Thank you.
-And I can put this on.
[SINGING] I'm a
chef, I'm a chef.
--[LAUGHING] Yeah,
speedy delivery.
-Speedy delivery.
Well, speaking of speedy
deliveries, I have more to do.
-And we're still ourselves
inside, no matter what we wear.
-Oh, that's right.
And I'll take this tape
back to the library,
so some, uh, other people
can borrow the tape.
-Good.
You're a very thoughtful person.
-Well, much obliged, and
speedy delivery to you.
Bye.
-And to you, Mr. McFeely.
Oh, I was just thinking.
I need to feed the fish.
Mr. Rogers the chef
will feed the fish.
They're hungry.
Mm-hm.
Wasn't it fun to see how
the people make those shoes?
I was just thinking.
Everything we wear,
everything we use,
has to be made by somebody.
Think of all of the people
in the world who help us.
People we don't even know.
That really gives
me a good feeling
to know that there are so
many helpers in this world.
Do you think about that?
[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.
We will have things to
talk about, won't we?
We always do, when
we get together.
Talk about, and
think about, and do.
Remember that one?
And that one?
And that one?
And no matter what,
we're always in style.
I'll be back next time.
Bye-bye.
