Rogers displays a horse Leonard Streckfus constructed from found objects. Later he visits Streckfus at his barn/workshop, where other found-objects sculptures are on display. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Mayor Maggie learns the Westwood town sign is missing. It appears Lady Elaine has taken it for her ""found"" objects exhibit.

Rogers visits Gonzales at his studio to see goupet-goupet sculptures. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, more things have gone missing, including Edgar Cooke's refrigerator and Daniel's truck.
Mr. McFeely shows a videotape on people using heavy equipment. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Lady Elaine agrees to display and return all those ""borrowed"" things. But there is a trick or two involved.
Rogers visits a theater to see a juggling act called the Flying Karamazov Brothers. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, X the Owl is preparing to give flying lessons.
X the Owl gives his first simple flying lesson to Prince Tuesday, along with the first rule: ""Be careful."" This isn't quite what Lady Elaine has in mind with her flying lessons.
Rogers hears the Uptown String Quartet perform. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, a vulnerable Prince Tuesday falls prey to Lady Elaine's ""flying lessons.""
Rogers brings a sleeping bag to the television house. Mr. McFeely brings a tape on how people make sleeping bags. For most of the last ten minutes, Rogers visits a dollmaker, Ida Clowney. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, X the Owl feels responsible for the fall Prince Tuesday incurred. Lady Aberlin and Chuck Aber deter Lady Elaine from further ""flying lessons.""
Mister Rogers arrives with a hula hoop and talks about how it got its name. Taking it outside, he does his best to show how it is used but is unable to keep the hula hoop around his waist. Luckily, Paul Tifford is in the Neighborhood offering hula hoop lessons and Mister Rogers decides to pay him a visit.
At Mr. Tifford's studio, Mister Rogers listens to a few suggestions and is able to successfully keep the hula hoop spinning around his waist. He then steps back and watches in amazement as Mr. Tifford demonstrates his ability to spin multiple hula hoops at the same time. Mister Rogers continues observing as Maggie Stewart stops by for her hula hoop lesson.
In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Prince Tuesday is about to share the details of his accident with Mayor Maggie when King Friday interrupts. As Lady Aberlin and Lady Elaine Fairchilde arrive, King Friday announces that all flying lessons are to stop. Lady Elaine apologizes to Prince Tuesday for making him think the propeller hat she gave him would make him fly. Prince Tuesday suggests that Lady Elaine teach hula hoop lessons instead.
Inside the tree, Lady Aberlin and Prince Tuesday talk with X the Owl who is still feeling somewhat responsible for the Prince's accident. Prince Tuesday explains that X's instruction to be careful could have prevented his fall. X feels much better knowing that he was a good teacher.
Outside, Lady Elaine's first hula hoop lesson is underway with Mayor Maggie.
Back at the house, Mister Rogers spends some time thinking about children who are just learning to walk. He concludes by talking about practicing skills in order to get better and sings I'm Proud of You.
