♪♪ HI, NEIGHBOR.

DID YOU SEE HOW MANY STICKS I BROUGHT?

LOOK CAREFULLY.

YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE THREE.

EACH ONE HAS A HOLE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT FITS IN THAT HOLE.

IT'S IN MY POCKET.

IT LOOKS LIKE A "Y."

IT'S A BOLT.

IT'S A Y-LOOKING BOLT.

AND HERE ARE THREE LITTLE NUTS THAT WILL FIT ON IT.

I'LL PUT IT TOGETHER.

THERE.

THERE'S ONE.

TWO.

THREE.

CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THAT'S FOR?

THAT'S REALLY FOR A SEAT.

[KNOCK ON DOOR] THAT MAY BE MR. McFEELY.

HE'S BRINGING THE REST OF IT.

HI, MR. McFEELY.

SPEEDY DELIVERY.

IS THIS YOUR ORDER?

THAT'S EXACTLY IT.

IT WILL GO ON THOSE STICKS.

COULD I SEE HOW IT FITS?

COME IN AND WE'LL WORK IT.

SEE THESE POCKETS HERE?

I THOUGHT THE STICKS COULD FIT IN THE POCKET.

SINCE THERE ARE THREE STICKS, THERE NEED TO BE THREE POCKETS.

THERE YOU GO.

WHY NOT TRY IT?

IT'S LIKE RIDING A HORSE.

WANT TO TRY IT?

ALL RIGHT.

OH.

BUT IF YOU'RE A SPEEDY DELIVERY MAN, YOU CAN'T SIT LONG.

I ALMOST FORGOT.

I HAVE A DELIVERY BOOK.

I WANT YOU TO SIGN FOR THAT DELIVERY.

SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE.

THANK YOU.

I HAVE A LOT OF DELIVERIES.

SO SPEEDY DELIVERY.

SPEEDY DELIVERY TO YOU.

THANKS VERY MUCH.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

SEE YOU AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

GOOD-BYE.

THERE'S THE SEAT.

HERE'S THE EASEL.

AND HERE'S THE PAD OF PAPER.

CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT I'M GOING TO DO?

I'M GOING TO DRAW.

I THINK I'LL USE CRAYONS.

HERE ARE SOME.

SEE THE CRAYONS I HAVE?

HERE ARE SOME SMALL ONES.

HERE ARE LARGER ONES.

I'LL TRY THESE.

THAT'S A GOOD COLOR.

THAT ONE'S YELLOW.

DID YOU EVER WONDER HOW CRAYONS WERE MADE?

I'VE OFTEN THOUGHT ABOUT PEOPLE MAKING CRAYONS.

I'LL DO MORE LATER.

I'D LIKE TO SHOW YOU PEOPLE MAKING CRAYONS.

I HAVE A FILM OF IT HERE.

THERE'S THE RAILROAD TANK CAR WHICH CARRIES THE HOT WAX.

AND FROM THE TANK, IT'S POURED INTO A KIND OF BIG KETTLE.

THIS IS A POWDER THAT MAKES THE WAX HARD.

THEN AFTER THAT, PEOPLE PUT IN THE PIGMENT, WHICH IS LIKE COLORED FLOUR.

THIS PIGMENT IS YELLOW, SO IT'S HELPING TO MAKE YELLOW CRAYONS.

NOW ALL OF THAT HOT WAX AND HARDENER ARE MIXED TOGETHER AND DRAINED INTO A POURING BUCKET.

THIS IS A MOLD FOR LOTS OF CRAYONS.

EACH HOLE IS FILLED WITH THE COLORED WAX.

SEE HOW THEY POUR THAT IN?

KIND OF A DOUBLE BUCKET.

AND THAT COLORED WAX IS GOING DOWN INTO ALL THOSE HOLES.

AND A LITTLE LATER, EACH HOLE WILL SHOW A CRAYON COMING UP.

THE PEOPLE WAIT ABOUT FIVE MINUTES FOR THE WAX TO HARDEN.

THEN THEY SCRAPE OFF THE TOP, WHICH THEY'LL MELT AND USE AGAIN.

WATCH THE CRAYONS COME INTO THOSE COLLECTORS.

THERE THEY ARE.

LOOK AT ALL THOSE YELLOW CRAYONS.

HANDFULS OF YELLOW CRAYONS.

CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THIS MACHINE IS FOR?

YOU KNOW THOSE THINGS THAT GO AROUND CRAYONS?

THOSE ARE LABELS.

SO THIS IS A MACHINE THAT PUTS LABELS ON THE CRAYONS.

IT'S LIKE A FERRIS WHEEL, ISN'T IT?

THESE CRAYONS HAVE LOTS OF RIDES.

THEN PEOPLE TAKE THE CRAYONS TO A COLLATING MACHINE, WHERE 16 DIFFERENT COLORS OF CRAYONS ARE PUT TOGETHER.

LOOK AT ALL THOSE COLORS.

BEAUTIFUL.

EACH ONE IS MIXED INTO A LITTLE BOX.

SO EACH OF THOSE LITTLE BOXES HAS 16 DIFFERENT COLOR CRAYONS IN IT.

MORE COLORS.

AND MORE LITTLE BOXES.

TO MAKE UP BIG BOXES OF CRAYONS...

MANY LITTLE BOXES ARE PUT TOGETHER...

IN ONE BIG BOX.

THEN THEY'RE ALL PUT INTO THE BIG SHIPPING BOX.

THEN PEOPLE TAKE THOSE BOXES TO THE STORES, WHERE OTHER PEOPLE BUY THEM.

THAT'S HOW THEY BUY THE CRAYONS.

HOW PEOPLE MAKE CRAYONS.

YOU SAW THE YELLOW CRAYONS BEING MADE.

OF COURSE, THEY MAKE ALL DIFFERENT COLORS AND ALL DIFFERENT SIZES AND SHAPES.

LOOK AT THE ENDS OF THESE.

THOSE ARE DIFFERENT SHAPES, SEE?

AND SIZES.

THINK I'LL JUST DRAW SOMETHING HERE.

DO YOU LIKE TO DRAW WITH CRAYONS?

I DO.

I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT IT.

BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER.

IT'S THE FUN OF DOING IT THAT'S IMPORTANT.

THAT'S THE WAY I USUALLY DRAW A HOUSE.

SOME WINDOWS.

HAVE A WINDOW DOWN HERE FOR SOMEBODY TO LOOK FOR THEIR MOM OR DAD COMING HOME FROM WORK.

AND A TREE.

THERE'S A TREE.

WHAT ABOUT A PERSON OVER HERE?

SOME HAIR.

MAYBE I SHOULD USE SOME DIFFERENT COLORS.

NOW, I WOULDN'T HAVE MADE THAT IF I'D JUST THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

JUST PRETENDING, IT WOULDN'T BE THERE.

♪ YOU CAN MAKE BELIEVE IT HAPPENS ♪ ♪ OR PRETEND THAT SOMETHING'S TRUE ♪ ♪ YOU CAN WISH OR HOPE OR CONTEMPLATE ♪ ♪ A THING YOU'D LIKE TO DO ♪ ♪ BUT UNTIL YOU START TO DO IT ♪ ♪ YOU WILL NEVER SEE IT THROUGH ♪ ♪ BECAUSE THE MAKE-BELIEVE PRETENDING ♪ ♪ JUST WON'T DO IT FOR YOU ♪ ♪ YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT ♪ ♪ EVERY LITTLE BIT ♪ ♪ YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT ♪ ♪ DO IT, DO IT, DO IT ♪ ♪ AND WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH ♪ ♪ YOU CAN KNOW WHO DID IT ♪ ♪ BECAUSE YOU DID IT ♪ ♪ YOU DID IT, YOU DID IT ♪♪ THAT'S RIGHT.

AND IT FEELS GOOD TO DO THINGS, NO MATTER HOW ANYBODY SAYS IT IS.

IT FEELS GOOD TO HAVE MADE SOMETHING.

IT ALSO FEELS GOOD TO MAKE BELIEVE, SO LET'S DO SOME OF THAT.

[DING!

DING!]

MAKE-BELIEVE IS JUST THINKING, MAKING UP THINGS.

SO LET'S MAKE BELIEVE THAT KING FRIDAY IS HAVING A DRAWING CONTEST.

THAT WOULD BE FUN.

EVERYBODY CAN DRAW SOMETHING AND SEND IT TO KING FRIDAY TO BE JUDGED.

I'LL IMAGINE HE'LL HAVE SOME KIND OF SURPRISE.

HE COULD BE TELLING MISS PAULIFFICATE ABOUT IT AS THE TROLLEY VISITS THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF MAKE-BELIEVE.

ALL RIGHT, TROLLEY.

[DING!

DING!]

[TOOT!

TOOT!]

THE TROLLEY COULD HELP, TOO.

DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S AN EXCELLENT IDEA, MISS PAULIFFICATE?

OH, I DO, KING FRIDAY.

ALMOST EVERYBODY CAN MAKE SOME DRAWING.

EVEN SCHOOLCHILDREN, DON'T YOU THINK?

OH, OF COURSE.

ALMOST ALL CHILDREN LOVE USING CRAYONS AND PAPER TO MAKE PICTURES.

I THINK PICTURES FOR THE CONTEST SHOULD ALL BE DRAWINGS OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

BUT EVERY ONE WILL BE DIFFERENT.

IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO JUDGE.

FIRST, CALL THE TEACHER, HARRIETT ELIZABETH COW.

ASK HER TO COME RIGHT AWAY TO DISCUSS THIS.

OF COURSE, YOUR MAJESTY.

HELLO.

THIS IS THE SCHOOL AT SOME PLACE ELSE.

MISS COW?

THIS IS MISS PAULIFFICATE.

HOW ARE YOU?

OH, JUST FINE.

I'M CALLING FOR KING FRIDAY.

IS EVERYTHING 0K?

OH, JUST FINE.

HOLD ON A SECOND.

PRINCE TUESDAY, EVERYTHING'S FINE AT YOUR HOUSE.

GO ON WITH YOUR READING, AND I'LL BE WITH YOU SHORTLY.

NOW, HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

KING FRIDAY WANTS YOU AT THE CASTLE.

HE HAS A WONDERFUL IDEA.

I COULDN'T COME NOW.

SHE CAN'T COME NOW.

WHY NOT, HARRIETT?

BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A TEACHER'S HELPER.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE A TEACHER'S HELPER.

COULDN'T YOU BE THE TEACHER'S HELPER?

I COULD ASK.

COULD I BE THE TEACHER'S HELPER?

OF COURSE, DEAR.

COME RIGHT OVER.

YOU CAN TEACH ABOUT TELEPHONES.

I'LL BE RIGHT OVER.

I LIKE TALKING ON THE TELEPHONE.

SO DO I. I DO, TOO, BUT NOT FOR VERY LONG.

MM-HMM.

NOW, STUDENTS, THAT WAS MISS PAULIFFICATE, AND SHE'LL TELL YOU ABOUT TELEPHONES WHILE I VISIT THE KING.

DADDY HAS ANOTHER BIG IDEA?

I GUESS SO.

SOMETIMES GROWN-UPS HAVE FUN IDEAS.

SOMETIMES THEY DON'T.

THAT'S RIGHT, BUT THAT'S THE SAME WITH EVERYBODY.

HI, EVERYONE.

HI, MISS PAULIFFICATE.

I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

I'LL BE BACK AS SOON AS I CAN.

GOOD-BYE.

GOOD-BYE.

THE VERY BEST THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THE TELEPHONE IS WHEN IT RINGS, THERE'S SOMEONE ON THE OTHER END TO TALK WITH.

I LOVE THE TELEPHONE... A WONDERFUL IDEA, A PERFECTLY WONDERFUL IDEA.

MS. COW, I PRESUME?

CORRECT AS USUAL, KING FRIDAY.

I SHALL BE BRIEF.

I KNOW YOU HAVE YOUR CLASS, MS. COW.

I SHOULD LIKE TO START A DRAWING CONTEST.

A DRAWING CONTEST?

DO YOU LIKE THE IDEA?

NOT USUALLY, KING FRIDAY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT TALENTS, AND EVERYONE'S DRAWINGS ARE DIFFERENT.

SO?

SO ART CONTESTS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO JUDGE.

I WILL BE THE JUDGE.

I'LL EVEN BUILD A JUDGING STAND.

SO LONG AS EVERYONE KNOWS THAT.

THEY WILL, AND EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE PRIZE.

EXCELLENT IDEA.

WHAT IS THE PRIZE?

IT WILL BE A SURPRISE PRIZE.

A SURPRISE PRIZE.

HOW LOYAL--ER, ROYAL.

YES.

YOU MAY TELL YOUR STUDENTS.

WELL, I SHALL.

AND THANK YOU, YOUR MAJESTY.

THANK YOU.

INCIDENTALLY, KING FRIDAY, WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE DRAW?

THIS NEIGHBORHOOD OF MAKE-BELIEVE.

OH, THAT SHOULD BE FUN.

IT SHOULD BE A ROYAL CONTEST.

OF COURSE, YOUR MAJESTY.

FAREWELL, TEACHER COW.

FAREWELL, KING FRIDAY.

IF SOMEBODY GETS THE WRONG NUMBER, YOU SAY YOU'RE SORRY?

THAT'S RIGHT, DANIEL.

WHY SAY YOU'RE SORRY IF IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT?

I REALLY DON'T KNOW.

ANY IDEAS?

MAYBE YOU'RE SORRY FOR YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU HAD TO ANSWER THE PHONE AND YOU WERE PLAYING.

MAYBE YOU WERE WISHING SOMEONE SPECIAL WOULD CALL, AND IT WASN'T THEM.

I LIKE YOU KIDS.

I'VE LEARNED MORE FROM YOU THAN YOU'VE LEARNED FROM ME.

HI, MS. COW.

KING FRIDAY'S HAVING A CONTEST.

EVERYONE IS TO DRAW THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF MAKE-BELIEVE.

THAT WILL BE FUN.

WHAT IS THE PRIZE?

IT'S A SURPRISE PRIZE.

I'D LIKE IT IF THE PLANECAR WERE THE PRIZE.

LET'S THINK OF WAYS OF DRAWING THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF MAKE-BELIEVE.

I'VE HAD THE BEST TIME.

HEY, WHAT-- HEY!

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, TOOTS?

OH, A NEW CONTEST.

WHAT'S THE PRIZE?

THE KING HASN'T TOLD ANYBODY.

I'D BETTER WIN.

DO YOU HAVE TO WIN EVERYTHING, LADY ELAINE?

OF COURSE.

WHAT DO WE DO?

SEE THE SIGNS?

THAT'S WHAT YOU DO.

DRAW THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

THAT'S ALL?

WELL, I'M GOING TO WIN.

LADY ELAINE, DID YOU EVER HAVE ANY BROTHERS OR SISTERS?

I HAD A SISTER BARBARA.

SHE WAS ALWAYS WINNING EVERYTHING.

SHE WAS A DRAG.

COULDN'T YOU WIN WHEN SHE WAS AROUND?

NO, BUT WHEN I GREW UP, I STARTED DOING THE WINNING.

BUT YOU KNEW HOW IT FELT NOT TO WIN.

I'LL SAY!

I HATED LOSING ALL THE TIME!

I STILL HATE IT WHEN I LOSE.

I'M NOT ABOUT TO LOSE.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU BETTER IF YOU WIN.

WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

I TOLD MYSELF.

I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS PRIZE TO MY MUSEUM AND NOT SHOW ANYBODY.

WHAT IS THE PRIZE?

THE KING CALLS IT A SURPRISE PRIZE.

HE SHOULD JUST HAND IT OVER BECAUSE I AM WINNING.

THOSE SCHOOLCHILDREN HAVE SUCH GREAT IDEAS.

THEY'RE DRAWING THE NEIGHBORHOOD, TOO?

SURE.

I GUESS EVERYONE IS.

IT SHOULD BE GREAT FUN, DON'T YOU THINK?

YES, SO LONG AS I WIN.

[TOOT!

TOOT!]

TROLLEY, MAKE A DRAWING OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

DON'T BOTHER, TROLLEY.

YOURS TRULY'S GOT IT IN THE BAG.

[DING!

DING!]

[DING!

DING!]

LADY ELAINE'S JUST HEARD ABOUT THE CONTEST, AND ALL SHE'S THINKING ABOUT IS WINNING.

NOT DOING, BUT WINNING.

IT SHOULD BE THE FUN OF DOING IT THAT'S IMPORTANT.

YOU COULD DRAW YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD OR YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD OF MAKE-BELIEVE.

I'LL TRY DRAWING MINE.

NEIGHBORHOOD OF MAKE-BELIEVE.

YOU CAN DO IT WITH JUST COLORS, TOO.

THAT COULD BE THE COLOR FOR THE CASTLE.

IT'S A BIG PLACE.

THE TROLLEY TRACK LIKE THAT.

AND... THAT COULD BE CORNEY'S FACTORY THERE.

AND THE TREE, X AND HENRIETTA'S TREE.

AND LADY ELAINE'S MUSEUM-GO-ROUND.

ALL THOSE...PILLARS.

PLATYPUS MOUND.

DANIEL'S CLOCK.

IN FACT, YOU COULD JUST PLAY WITH COLORS, MIX THEM UP, SEE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE TOGETHER.

DO YOU EVER DO THAT?

WHAT WOULD YOU PUT IN YOUR DRAWING?

THE BEST THING IS THAT EACH PERSON'S WOULD BE DIFFERENT ♪ YOU ARE MY FRIEND, YOU ARE SPECIAL ♪ ♪ YOU ARE MY FRIEND ♪ ♪ YOU'RE SPECIAL TO ME ♪ ♪ YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE LIKE YOU ♪ ♪ LIKE YOU, MY FRIEND ♪ ♪ I LIKE YOU ♪ ♪ IN THE DAYTIME ♪ ♪ IN THE NIGHTTIME ♪ ♪ ANY TIME THAT YOU FEEL IS THE RIGHT TIME ♪ ♪ FOR A FRIENDSHIP WITH ME ♪ ♪ YOU SEE, F-R-I-E-N-D ♪ ♪ SPECIAL ♪ ♪ YOU ARE MY FRIEND ♪ ♪ YOU'RE SPECIAL TO ME ♪ ♪ THERE'S ONLY ONE IN THIS WONDERFUL WORLD ♪ ♪ YOU ARE SPECIAL ♪♪ AND THAT'S TRUE.

YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON WHO'S EXACTLY LIKE YOU.

IN A WAY, YOU'VE ALREADY WON IN THIS WORLD BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN BE YOU.

YOU DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY FROM ANYBODY ELSE, AND THAT'S THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.

♪ YOU ARE SPECIAL ♪♪ I MAY DO SOME MORE DRAWING MYSELF THIS EVENING.

I HOPE YOU'LL TRY.

DRAW WHATEVER YOU LIKE, AND SHOW IT TO THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE.

ASK THEM IF THEY LIKE TO DRAW, TOO.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE WILL SURPRISE YOU WITH THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW THEY COULD DO.

♪ 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 ♪ [SNAP SNAP] ♪ 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 BROUGHT THREE STICKS WITH ME, AND NOW I'LL TAKE A WHOLE LITTLE CHAIR BACK.

DO YOU EVER SURPRISE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE THINGS YOU DO?

DO YOU FEEL PROUD WHEN THEY LIKE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?
