- Quotes
Harriet Elizabeth Cow: Now, which country do you think this is. Class?
Daniel Striped Tiger: Well, with the mountain and everything, maybe it looks like Up-Above Land, Miss Cow.
Harriet Elizabeth Cow: You're absolutely right, Daniel. And what about this one?
Ana Platypus: Um, I think that's Down-Under Land.
Harriet Elizabeth Cow: Yes, Ana, it used to be Down-Under Land, but not anymore.
Prince Tuesday: Oh, I know. I know. That's the one that had the war with Side-Step Land. So now everything from Down-Under Land is in with Side-Step Land.
Harriet Elizabeth Cow: That is correct.
Ana Platypus: I'm glad I don't live there.
Daniel Striped Tiger: I am too. I wouldn't like to live where they're having a war.

Performed by Fred Rogers
First off, I used to have one of those boxes like Rogers showed where you fit the shapes in the right holes when I was a child, only mine was of plastic and not wood. As for those coin banks Rogers' swim instructor displayed, they were neat. My favorite coin bank I've ever had was a Coca Cola can bank.
In Make-Believe, Prince Tuesday has been thinking about war. From what I heard, Fred Rogers was just a teenager when WWII took place, particularly when Pearl Harbor got bombed by the Japanese in 1941. As for what King Friday said, I agree. There are other (nonviolent) ways to resolve difficult issues. Let's hope America won't go to war again, and may there never be WWIII.
