* One episode had two little boys accidentally set their house on fire. Fortunately, even as they were trapped inside, their teenage neighbor (who stayed home from school that day due to a sore throat) ran in and saved them, even though the younger boy ended up badly burned. The ending of the segment from some time later has the young man, now in the military, reuniting with their grateful family and embracing the boys and saying "There's my buddy!" to his younger neighbor.
