Question

As a youngster,there was nothing I liked better than Sunday af?ternoons on my grandfather's farm in western Pennsylvania. Sur?rounded by miles of winding stone walls,the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.

I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm,I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve. The walls were old;some stones were missing,others loose and falling. Still,my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally,one spring afternoon,I had all my courage to enter the living room,where the adults had gathered after Sunday din?ner.

"I,uh―I want to climb the stone walls," I said. Everyone looked up. "Can I climb the stone walls?" Immediately voices of disagreement went up from the women in the room. "Heavens,no!You'll hurt yourself!" I wasn't too disappoint?ed; the response was just as I'd expected. But before I could leave the room,I was stopped by my grandfather's loud voice. "Now hold on just a minute,"I heard him say. "Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself."

"Go”， he said to me, "and come and see me when you get back."For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls―and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I'll never forget what he said. "Fred," he said,smiling. "You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember that there's only one person in this whole world like you,and that I like you exactly as you are."

Many years have passed since then,and today I host the television programme Mister Rogers' Neighbourhood,seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years,but one thing remains the same：my mes?sage to children at the end of almost every visit. "There's only one person in this whole world like you”，the kids can count on hearing me say, "and people can like you exactly as you are."
