In the kitchen, Mister Rogers uses pieces from a carrot and an onion to make food coloring prints on construction paper.
In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, X the Owl is excited to deliver the rocking throne to King Friday as Corney adds the final touches to its upholstrey. When Corney decides to add decorative embroidery and Miss Paulificate offers her needlepoint talents, X grows impatient. Luckily, Miss Paulificate has two nearly-completed embroiderly on hand that perfectly fits the throne. X struggles to wait "less than an hour but more than a minute" while Miss Paulificate finishes her work. In the end, everyone is happy with the final product and proudly delivers the rocking throne to King Friday.
Back at the house, Mister Rogers visits Negri's Music Shop where two Nigerian drummers are performing. They demonstrate various instruments and the ways they are able to communicate through their drumming.
