Network: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Air Date: December 5, 1963
Mister Rogers shares some artwork sent to him by viewers -- a family picture from Vicky and two pictures of the Trolley from Frazier.
In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Dr. Frogg likes what he sees at the pond and seems optimistic about his family living there. He visits the clock where he shares his thoughts with Daniel Striped Tiger. Daniel agrees that the pond would be a great home for the Frogg family; however, he suggests Dr. Frogg talk with his son, Tadpole, about the move because feelings of children are just as important as those of grown-ups.
Digger Digorum stops by the clock as Dr. Frogg is leaving. Daniel talks to her about his understanding of children and the desire to grow up as he sings God Loves His Little Children. Digger shows Daniel a 3,000-year-old mask she has found on her recent expedition in Make-Believe.
Move on to her digging site near the clock, Digger is approached by a sad Tadpole Frogg. She attempts to use her crystal ball to find out what is making him sad but before she can come to any conclusion, she sees a vision to continue digging. Upon doing so, Digger finds plans for a museum which was once built on the exact site where she is digging! Digger Digorum encourages Tad to look around the Neighborhood of Make-Believe before she takes the museum plans to King Friday XIII.
At the castle, King Friday agrees that a new museum should be built in Make-Believe on the site of the original.
