Episode 1234 [1972]

Original Air Date: April 13, 1972

  

Mister Rogers arrives with a collection of sea shells which he takes to the sand table in the back yard. Looking at the differences between them, he talks about the beach and thinks of walking in the sand.

Francois Clemmons stops by meet with the Browns about renting out a room in their theater for his music studio. Bob and Judy Brown welcome Francois to their theater. Mister Rogers is introduced to one of the Browns' marionettes -- a clown named Gus -- before Francois Clemmons sings It's Such a Good Feeling.

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Henreitta Pussycat and Francois Clemmons grow concerned that X the Owl may be taking his appreciation of Benjamin Franklin too far.

Meanwhile, at the Museum-Go-Round, Lady Elaine Fairchilde has reached Jupiter and sends back an image of sea shells that she has seen. She also informs X that no one on Jupiter has heard of Benjamin Franklin; however, she has told them all about X and everyone else in Make-Believe. Driving home the point that X himself is important -- whether or not he is dress up like Benjamin Franklin -- Francois Clemmons and Henrietta Pussycat sing It's You I Like.

Back at the house, Mister Rogers talks about how each person is special before Mrs. McFeely stops by with a sea shell of her own.
