Arriving directly from the Neighborhood school, Mister Rogers reveals that he is trying to learn the Greek language. He shows viewers a book written in Greek and writes the Greek word for "love" on his notepad.

Mister Rogers then sings Many Ways to Say I Love You. Mr. McFeely errantly delivers a collection of whistles to Mister Rogers which were supposed to be delivered to the school. While he is there, however, he demonstrates several of the whistles for Mister Rogers.

As Mister Rogers and Mr. McFeelys it together on the porch, Eileen McNamara also stops by to demonstrate her whislting abilities.

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Robert Troll is taking the Neighborhood census by asking questions about everyone's name, address, favorite color, and whether or not the person can whistle.

Meanwhile, Lady Aberlin is doing research on the wind and as she helps out with the Neighborhood census, she learns that X the Owl cannot whistle. Lady Aberlin sings You Are Pretty with Henrietta Pussycat.

Back at the house, Mister Rogers sings You're Growing.
