00:01Here are Robert Young and Jane Wyatt
00:07with Ellen O'Donohue, Billy Gray and Lauren Chapin
00:11in Father Knows Bed.
00:15Would you look up the log for that, Dad?
00:17Mm-hmm.
00:29Kathy, where are you?
00:32Whoa!
00:36Where are you going? Your mother's calling you.
00:38Oh, just outside.
00:40This time of night?
00:42Well, um, I was just going to the garage to get something.
00:45I'll be back in two seconds.
00:47Yeah, well, don't fool around with any of my stuff.
00:49I won't.
00:53Well, I'm looking for a small girl.
00:55Sweat that away.
00:56I swear it's like trying to keep track of a flea.
01:01What do you have there?
01:02It's my horseshoe.
01:03I found it in a vacant lot this afternoon.
01:06Neat, huh? A real horseshoe.
01:09All you need now is a horse.
01:10Well, let's put your real horseshoe away and gallop up the bed.
01:16But this is what I came down after.
01:18I'm going to take it to bed with me.
01:20Oh, no.
01:22A horseshoe in bed?
01:23A horseshoe is lucky.
01:25If you find one and make a wish on it, it'll come true.
01:29No kidding. It really will.
01:31Oh, it's a fairytale shrimp. You don't believe in that stuff.
01:34Sure I do. It's true, isn't it, Daddy?
01:38Well, usually you have to do a little more than wish for something you want.
01:42Work helps.
01:43You're right. So I'm going to work real hard wishing.
01:46Well, you can't win them all, dear.
01:56If this is a good horseshoe, and I'm pretty sure it is, I'll get my wish in the morning.
02:01Well, isn't that asking for pretty fast service?
02:03Oh, I got my order in early. I made my wish this afternoon.
02:07What is the wish, kitten?
02:08Well, if you tell somebody what you wish for, the wish won't come true.
02:12Oh, no. That just applies to blowing out birthday candles and, uh, first star you see at night.
02:18Well, I suppose you and Mother should know what I'm getting.
02:22So you can fix it in the garage.
02:24He'll have to sleep in the garage, you know.
02:25Well, who's he?
02:27A pony.
02:30It'll be here tomorrow morning, probably.
02:33But a pony is a pretty big order. I wouldn't count too much on it.
02:36Well, it doesn't hurt to wish, does it?
02:39No. But you mustn't be disappointed.
02:41Oh, I won't be.
02:43I already have a name picked up for him. I'm gonna call him Cookie.
02:47Cookie Anderson.
02:49Yes, but, Kathy...
02:50Now, he comes here in the morning, don't anybody feed him.
02:54I want to feed him myself. Okay?
03:00Okay.
03:02Good night.
03:03Good night, Angel.
03:04Good night.
03:05Good night.
03:10Good night, Cookie.
03:12I'll see you in the morning.
03:14He'll be my very own pony.
03:16He'll be and pup.
03:17Good morning.
03:46Kathy?
03:51Kathy?
03:52Is anything wrong?
03:54What are you doing on a bit?
03:55Well, I...
03:56What do you want, Angel?
03:59Well, I was just wondering...
04:03Do ponies have blue eyes or brown eyes?
04:10We'll talk about it in the morning.
04:12Go on back to bed.
04:16What color eyes do they have?
04:42What color eyes do they have?
04:44No.
04:46Blue eyes or brown eyes?
04:49Whoever told Kathy she could make a wish on a confounded horseshoe ought to be...
04:54Who would have thought that...
04:56No, it was you.
04:59You're the culprit.
05:00Well, she was going to make a spectacular thing out of it.
05:04Yesterday afternoon, she came in with that old horseshoe and asked me what she could do with it.
05:08I was reading.
05:09I didn't even think.
05:10I just said, make a wish.
05:12That's all I said.
05:13That was enough.
05:14Yeah.
05:15Well, when she comes down here, you can explain why the pony isn't here.
05:18Oh, Father, Kathy isn't an infant.
05:20She doesn't really believe in that wishing thing.
05:23Maybe not, but she's trying awfully hard.
05:25Maybe he's in the back.
05:42Jim, she shouldn't be outside in a nightgown.
05:47I can't understand what happened.
05:55Cookie's not here.
05:57Cookie?
05:58My pony.
05:59I made the wish like you told me.
06:02I wonder what's wrong.
06:04Well, you see, kitten, making wishes on horseshoes and four-leaf clovers and all those things is fun.
06:13But it's kind of a pretend game, hmm?
06:17You know, more for little kids.
06:19I'm little.
06:20No, that's not what's wrong, Daddy.
06:23I'll bet it's too early yet.
06:25Oh, but that's why he's not here.
06:28Oh, sure.
06:29That's it.
06:30It's early.
06:32He'll be here easy by lunchtime.
06:35Do you like the name Cookie?
06:36Oh, yeah, that really sends me.
06:38Well, I'm going to get dressed.
06:39I'll be done in a minute.
06:40Oh, yeah.
06:43You're a goofy little kid.
06:45Keeps selling herself that she's going to get her wish.
06:47I don't get it.
06:49Well, fairytale lady, any suggestions?
06:51I'm never going to open my mouth in this house again.
06:53Ho, ho, ho.
06:55I'm going over to Marge just to pick up some crepe paper and candy.
06:58I have to make table favors for the class luncheon.
07:01I'll be back in a little while.
07:02I have mighty favors to make before tomorrow.
07:07Could you help me, Mother?
07:08Oh, thanks a million.
07:09The girls in this family, none of them but crackpots and racketeers.
07:20Do you realize it's almost noon?
07:23And the committee said making favors is easy.
07:25Only take you a few minutes.
07:26Ha!
07:27Do you have any more jelly beans?
07:29No more jelly beans.
07:30This sack of gumdrops is all we have left.
07:32Well, the girls won't eat them anyway.
07:35They're all on dives.
07:36They'll look pretty.
07:37That's all that matters.
07:39Need a hand?
07:40No, and keep yours on the committee.
07:42Say, where's Kathy?
07:43How come she isn't getting in on this?
07:45Oh, she's sitting on the front steps waiting for her pony.
07:48Boy, is she gone.
07:50She's way out there.
07:52Say, where's she expect this pony to come from?
07:53Out of the sky?
07:55Mommy!
07:55Mommy!
07:56Mommy!
07:57Come here, quick!
07:58Hurry!
07:58Come on!
07:59Come on!
07:59Come on!
08:00Come on!
08:01Come on!
08:02Come on!
08:04Look it!
08:05Look it there!
08:12Oh, Cookie!
08:13Cookie!
08:15Oh, I knew you'd come home.
08:18Where did it come from?
08:22There's the answer.
08:29It's my pony!
08:30Look!
08:31Just what I wish for!
08:32Now, wait, Kathy.
08:36The pony belongs to this man angel.
08:39But I wish for him.
08:40That's why he's here.
08:42It happens every day, ma'am.
08:43He's a pony a thousand kids to wish for.
08:46You can't blame him.
08:47What's her name?
08:49Kathy.
08:50Kathy, honey.
08:51Would you like to have your picture taken on this little feller?
08:54Go ahead, Kathy.
08:55I'll give you a chance to sit on them, anyway.
08:56They're three for a dollar, ma'am.
08:58I make them up real nice.
09:00Nice little frame and all.
09:02I guess so.
09:04Well, you've got to have a cowboy hat on and we'll get your picture taken.
09:09There.
09:09That fits real fine.
09:12Now, come on.
09:13Come on, now.
09:14Get on me and hold it.
09:14Swing right on there.
09:15Isn't that wonderful?
09:15Up you go.
09:17Come on.
09:19Yay.
09:21Oh, that's wonderful, Kathy.
09:23Hey, you look pretty good up there, two-gun Tessie.
09:28Oh, come on.
09:31Push your hat back so it can see your face.
09:36Can you turn your head a little, honey?
09:39Now, can I have a little smile?
09:43Smile.
09:45There, that was a good one.
09:59Nice family picture.
10:00That was wonderful.
10:03It's quite a hay burner.
10:04I can get down.
10:10Do I pay now?
10:12No, ma'am.
10:12You can pay me when the picture is delivered.
10:14Yeah, he's a lover boy, that little feller.
10:21Well, I hate to break this up, but I think the man would like to be on his way.
10:26Uh, it's about lunchtime.
10:29Do you mind if I eat my lunch under your tree there?
10:31Oh, no.
10:31Go right ahead.
10:33How would you like to walk him around while I eat?
10:36Would you like that?
10:37Oh, could I?
10:38Don't let go of him now.
10:40He'll wander off.
10:41Oh, I'll take good care of him.
10:42Now, you wait as slowly as you want to.
10:44No hurry.
10:46Come on, Cookie.
10:47Come on.
10:48Come on.
10:57They just don't understand.
10:59You are my pony.
11:01Aren't you?
11:03You're my cookie that I wished for.
11:05I know you are.
11:10Where's lunch?
11:11Oh, he's coming.
11:12Just sit down.
11:13You ought to see Kathy and Cookie out there.
11:16She insists that animal is hers.
11:18Well, she wants to think that.
11:20She's having sort of a last fling at childhood fancy.
11:24You can imagine what it would be like if that pony were hers.
11:27We'd have that silly creature right in the house with us.
11:31Come on in.
11:31Pull up a chair.
11:33No!
11:34Why?
11:35Oh, for heaven's sake.
11:36I told her she'd have him in the house.
11:39Has he had his lunch?
11:41Uh-huh.
11:41He had a lot of grass in the backyard,
11:43and he ate some daisies for dessert.
11:46Now, you back up, Cookie.
11:48I want to talk to Mommy,
11:50and I don't want you to listen.
11:51You know, I think we better tell the man with the camera
11:56whose pony this really is.
11:58He's really mine.
11:59I wished for him.
12:00You know I did.
12:01Now, Angel, let's be reasonable.
12:04The man has probably had this pony for a long time.
12:07Well, somebody had to keep him till I wished for him.
12:10But, honey,
12:11he needs a pony to make a living.
12:14So you wouldn't want to take it away from him, now would you?
12:17Well,
12:19I have an idea.
12:21Why don't you let him use your pony?
12:23Sort of, uh, lend it to him for his work.
12:27How would that be?
12:39I guess you'll have to go with the man.
12:42Because he needs you.
12:44But you're still my pony.
12:46I'm just lending you to him, you know.
12:48Time for us to go now, Kathy.
12:58Much obliged to you for reminding him for me.
13:02You'll take good care of him, won't you?
13:04Oh, yes, indeed I will.
13:06I won't work him too hard.
13:08Don't you worry.
13:09Now, when she comes in, don't say anything.
13:27Well, let's have some lunch now.
13:29You'll feel better.
13:31It's all right.
13:34Cookie will come back.
13:35He knows he belongs here.
13:37Oh, no.
13:40Well, he is.
13:41He is coming back.
13:42You'll see.
13:44You have to say something.
13:58Oh, Horseshoe, I've got to tell you the truth.
14:02Yesterday, I didn't believe you'd answer my wish, really.
14:07I was just hoping.
14:10But you did send me my pony.
14:13So I sure believe you now.
14:16And I just want to ask you one more favor.
14:20But I had to let the man take him.
14:25But don't let it be for keeps.
14:30Send Cookie back to me.
14:33Send him back alone.
14:37Please.
14:38Please.
