- King Friday XIII: [Prince Tuesday tries to sit on King Friday's large tricycle, falls off and starts crying] I thought I heard some crying in this garden. I'm sure I heard some crying in this garden. What is my large tricycle doing here?
- Prince Tuesday: I can explain, Daddy. I...
- King Friday XIII: Tuesday, I thought you were on your way to school.
- Prince Tuesday: I was, Daddy, but then I saw your big tricycle and I just sat on it and I fell.
- King Friday XIII: You know I told you that you are not to use my large tricycle, Tuesday.
- Prince Tuesday: I know.
- King Friday XIII: It's not your size and it could be very dangerous. Now what did I do the last time you rode my tricycle?
- Prince Tuesday: You sent me to my room.
- King Friday XIII: And so you will do the same.
- Prince Tuesday: But I have to go to school.
- King Friday XIII: You will go to your room immediately after school.
- Prince Tuesday: Oh! That really makes me angry.
- King Friday XIII: And it makes ME angry when you do things that could hurt you. Now off you go to school.
- Prince Tuesday: Ohh! Okay.
- King Friday XIII: That's right, off you go now. Well... My large tricycle. When a king says no, he MEANS no... Certainly does.
- Mr. Rogers: One day, when I was a little boy, I was playing outside, and I picked a flower from one of our neighbor's gardens. I didn't know that you're not supposed to do that. It just looked so pretty to me that I wanted to take it to my mother. Well, when I gave it to my mother, she asked me where I had found it. I told her that I picked it in our neighbor's garden, and she told me that nobody but our neighbor is supposed to do that. That was a no for me. After that, I would look at those flowers and think, no, can't pick. But I could look at them, and they were still beautiful to look at even if I couldn't have them.
- Mr. Rogers: Does your mother or father ever say to you, "You can never ride your tricycle in the street?" Do they sometimes get angry when they think you might go in the street? Well, they say no about that because they care about you so much, and they don't want you to get hurt.
