Overview
This clip of Daniel Tiger and Lady Aberlin is from “Making Mistakes” week. Inspired by events that happened earlier in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Daniel is thinking about mistakes. He wonders if he is a mistake because he is tame and lives in a clock, unlike any other tigers he knows. He sings a song questioning if he is a mistake because he is so different. Lady Aberlin sings back to him that he is just fine as he is; he is a wonderful tiger and her best friend. Daniel and Lady Aberlin express their friendship and love through a duet.
This Neighborhood of Make-Believe segment was one of the most important to Fred Rogers. He often referenced it in his speeches and would show the clip to adult audiences he was speaking to.
