Episode 0025 [1968]

Original Air Date: March 22, 1968

  
Mister Rogers arrives with a small houseplant which he takes to the kitchen and transplants into a larger pot. As he repots the plant, Mister Rogers talks about people moving and explains that sometimes there can be uneasy feelings that come about with moving to a new place. As he continues working, he sings Please Don't Think It's Funny.

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Woody Straub is at the castle showing King Friday some pieces of antique furniture. Mr. Straub fixes a broken chair and talks about his hobby working with old furniture.

Meanwhile, X the Owl and Henrietta Pussycat join Lady Aberlin on a visit to deliver housewarming gifts to Donkey Hodie who has found his new home in Someplace Else. Upon their arrival, Mr. McFeely has just finished putting the final touches on Donkey Hodie's windmill. He graciously accepts the gifts from his Neighborhood friends including a rocking chair from Corny, a portrait of King Friday, and a song sung by X and Lady Aberlin.

Back at the house, Mister Rogers sings the same song as he cleans up the kitchen.

So this is why Donkey Hodie lives at Someplace Else, but what's the windmill for?

From Episode 0018: "When Mrs. Russellite arrives at the tree, she shows the pinwheel to Henrietta before being introduced to Donkey Hodie...Donkey Hodie is intrigued by the pinwheel and mentions his desire to live in a windmill."

So the windmill is Donkey Hodie's home. I never knew where he lived until now.
