[narrator] It has been man's constant labor to live in peace

with his next-door neighbor,

and on the newcomer falls the chore of getting along with the man next door.

Okay.

[humming]

[narrator chuckling] Yes, Donald, your new neighbor.

Yeah.

[continues humming]

-Here, Muncey, catch! -[barks]

[laughing]

[man] You must be the new neighbor.

I'll be right over, pal.

[Donald] Okay!

Glad to meet you, neighbor.

Wonder if I could borrow some ice cubes, hmm?

Why, sure, neighbor. Be right with you.

Say, I could use a cube of butter,

some bouillon cubes, cube steak, cheese, cucumbers, cantaloupes, yeah.

[laughing] That's right.

Thanks a million, buddy.

[doorbell buzzing]

"Dear neighbor, forgot to ask you one favor."

[continues reading]

-[woofs] -[yelps]

[doorbell buzzes]

Hi, neighbor, try this.

Oh, thank you.

[slurping]

Mmm-mm. Delicious.

See? He eats it.

[spitting]

Trouble with you, Muncey, you're too finicky.

[chirping]

[narrator] Ah, springtime,

the season of friendly cooperation among birds

and yard birds.

Hi, neighbor. [chuckles] Borrow your spade?

Fork, trowel, sprayer, pruners, clippers.

[exclaims]

I'll be doggone.

[grumbling]

Oh, my goodness. [grumbling]

Hey, neighbor, your tools.

[sighs]

[humming]

[narrator] Friendship among neighbors is a beautiful thing,

but it is as fickle as the wind.

[wind whooshing]

[exclaims]

Better rake them up quick. They'll ruin your lawn.

[laughing]

[grumbling]

[laughing]

I'll fix him.

Hey, neighbor, look!

Huh?

Why you...

Why, you little punk. I'll get you!

[taunting]

[laughing]

Oh, yeah?

Why, you...

[laughing]

Hello, everybody. This is your on-the-spot roving reporter,

All right, folks, now this is how it shapes up.

The battle lines are drawn real fine,

the fight's just beginning on the property line.

They're getting set now. It's a tense moment.

Red hots! Get your red hots here!

[reporter] That big fellow in the poppy-flowered shorts.

Uh-oh, he's lining up at the fence.

Let's watch that property line, punk!

Oh, yeah?

Attaboy, duck!

[crowd cheering]

Oh, yeah?

[crowd laughing]

[reporter laughing] The crowd's really getting a big kick out of this.

Nice going, fat!

[crowd cheering]

Now take this, you little...

I'll get you for that!

Take this!

[crowd laughing]

[reporter] It's a real seesaw battle, folks.

[neighbor] Now I got you, punk!

[groaning]

[crowd chattering]

You're going great, fat. You've got him worried.

Give him the old spite fence.

He's going to give you the old spite fence.

All right, duck, now get in there and build.

[grumbling]

[all chanting] Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher.

[all barking]

[rumbling]

Uh-oh.

[man] Get out of there.

[narrator] Well, folks, that just about winds it up.

Old poppy flower is moving.

The little fellow's won out.

No, no! It's a draw.
