MIRA: The Case of the Mysterious Girl.
You go first.
PRINCESS SHIVANI: No, you go first.
Okay. Same time.
One, two, three!
Young lady, I don't suppose
you saw my cane?
Here it is, kind sir.
Thank you.
Now tell me, why are you wearing
(CHUCKLES)
my glasses?
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Mira, these disguises are so great.
(CHUCKLES) And that wig is the best.
I know, right?
Princess Shivani,
it's so nice having you visit our kingdom.
I've always wanted
to spend more time in Jalpur.
It must be so exciting being
the Royal Detective.
It is. The thing I love most
about being a detective is
I get to help people.
The people here are so amazing, so kind.
I've heard that.
I wish I could get to know them.
QUEEN SHANTI: Girls, there you are.
Queen Shanti?
Your Majesty, King of Naiyapuram.
Father, Mira was just showing me
all the things a Royal Detective uses.
There's a whole closet of disguises.
Yes, they've been used
by many of the previous Royal Detectives.
(CHUCKLES) How fascinating, Shivani.
Please, feel free
to borrow anything you'd like.
Thanks, Mira.
I wouldn't mind taking a look around
after our tour of Jalpur.
Ready to go, Shivani?
Yes, Father.
ALL: Bye, Mira.
See you later.
PRIYA: Okay, Mira.
Pick an object. Any object.
Don't tell me what it is.
I'm going to draw it.
Hmm!
Okay. Got one!
Now describe to me what it looks like.
In detail.
Part of it is round and metal.
And under that part,
there are two crossed swords.
Done! Is it the display
in front of the sword shop?
Yeah! Wow, Priya!
You got all the details down.
-Great job!
-KAMALA: Mira, Mira!
I've been looking all over for you.
Oh! Pretty picture, Priya.
Hey, that looks exactly like the display
in front of the sword shop.
Yep. That's what I was going for.
What is it, Kamala?
Mira, I need your help.
Please come to the chai shop.
Ah, Kamala.
Here's that bowl you asked for.
-Thanks, Nani.
-(KISSES)
Hello, girls.
BOTH: Namaste, Nani.
So what happened, Kamala?
I was making a new rice pudding recipe.
It's going to be a surprise for my nani.
I came up with it myself.
That's impressive.
And we were tasting
I mean, helping.
Big, big helpers.
That's us.
Mmm-hmm. (SLURPING)
It was not going well.
I knew my rice pudding
was missing something. But what?
It was a problem.
A very serious problem.
Then a girl came into the shop.
She tasted it and suggested
I add pistachios and chocolate.
I never thought of that before.
Pistachio-chocolate rice pudding.
ALL: Yum!
Mira, I need to find her
so she can taste the new recipe
before I give it to my nani.
Can you help me, please?
Of course, Kamala.
We're on the case.
(SINGING)
We're on the case, we're on the case ♪
We're on the case ♪
Look a little closer
with your magnifying glass ♪
Open up your notebook ♪
Get your coat and badge on fast ♪
Ask all the questions,
follow your senses ♪
Focus on every clue ♪
BOTH: Ooh.
Listen for answers,
find what you're after ♪
That's what detectives do ♪
We're on the case, we're on the case
We're on the case ♪
So, Kamala, tell me everything you know
about this girl.
Well, let's see.
I don't know her name.
I don't know where she lives.
I've never seen her before in my life.
I don't think she knows anything
about the girl.
I will have to agree with that.
Kamala, can you describe
what the girl looks like?
Maybe that will help us find her.
I know, I was there.
Me, too. Me, too!
Great! Priya, can you draw a picture
based on their description?
Sure, Mira.
Let's see. She had a mouth.
Ooh, and she had eyes.
Two eyes. And Wait, it's coming to me.
She also had a nose!
Right! Because she's a girl.
Chikku, we should just draw her.
We should. We should.
Here, you can use my sketch pad and pen.
BOTH: Art time!
Ooh, that's good!
-I call it great.
-Oh, yeah!
Perfection!
BOTH: (SING-SONGY) Masterpiece!
That's great, guys.
Yep, our work here is done.
Kamala, can you give us
a description of the girl?
Tell me anything you remember about her.
Let's see.
Oh, yes. Her hair was in a braid.
What kind of braid?
It started about here.
And it was very long.
It came close to getting
into the rice pudding when she tasted it.
Got it! Like that?
KAMALA: Yep! Perfect.
A lot of girls have braids.
Like you, Priya.
So we need more details
about what she looks like.
Maybe someone else in town saw her.
How are we going to figure that out?
Let's look around the shop
and see if we can find any clues.
Chikku, almond cookies.
We better investigate for clues.
Oh, yes. Very closely.
BOTH: Ugh!
Kamala, there's a problem over here
with one of your cookies.
What? Where?
There's a green blob on top of it.
I wouldn't serve that if were you.
What?
It looks like a stone.
Kamala, is it yours?
No. Definitely not.
What is a stone doing on a cookie?
Wait! I know. It belongs to that girl.
She had a bag full of stones
just like that.
It must have fallen out.
Huh I wonder if she got those stones
from the jewelry shop.
Kamala, we'll be back
as soon as we have more information.
Thanks, Mira. I'll be here.
Hello, auntie. I was wondering,
did a girl come here today
and get some stones like this one?
She had a long braid.
Oh, yes! Such a sweet girl.
Mmm, I was having such a busy morning
and she stayed to help me
and sort and polish
all the stones in the shop.
Wow, that's really nice.
She was particularly fascinated
with these green stones.
She said she didn't have any
where she lives.
Huh. So she must not be from Jalpur.
No wonder Kamala never saw her before.
Auntie, can you describe
what the girl looks like?
I remember her eyes.
They were the same color as these stones.
Very beautiful.
Ah, yes. I get that a lot, too.
You know, about my eyes
Being very beautiful.
Me, too. A lot.
So she has green eyes.
Got it, Priya?
Yep. I'm adding it to the sketch.
Auntie, do you know
where the girl went after she left?
Well, she didn't say.
Oh!
But she forgot this.
-A bike helmet?
-Huh.
Maybe she stopped at the bike shop
before she came here.
Auntie, when we find her,
we'll return the helmet.
Thank you, dear.
Good luck.
Let's head to the bike shop
and see if the twins saw her.
Chalo, chalo, let's go.
Hi, Manjeet. Hi, Ranjeet.
Hey, Mira, perfect timing.
You can test out our new bikes.
Yeah. We just fixed them up.
We've got bikes that are the perfect size
for you two, Mikku and Chikku.
I call the blue one.
I call the green one.
(BOTH MIMICKING HORN HONKING)
CHIKKU: Get out of the way.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Ranjeet, what were you thinking
when you put horns on the mini-bicycles?
That sound isn't a horn.
It's them.
(BOTH CONTINUE MIMICKING HORNS)
Ranjeet, Manjeet,
we're actually here on a new case,
and we have a question.
-Sure.
-What's up?
Did a girl come here before
and get this bike helmet?
Oh, yeah, we gave it to her.
You did?
Whoo-hoo!
Uh-huh. She stayed here for a long time.
She was really interested
in what we were doing.
Yeah. And she even helped us out
with our repairs.
She even told me the tires on this bike
over here were low on air.
That's so sweet of her.
I've never seen anyone so excited
to test out a bike.
-Whee!
-(LAUGHING)
Well, aside from Mikku and Chikku.
Maybe you can help us
with the description.
Here's a sketch I'm working on.
So far we know she has a long braid
and green eyes.
Looks right.
And she had glasses.
-Remember, Manjeet?
-Oh, yeah!
She took them off
while she was riding one of the bikes.
In fact, she forgot them.
They're in the back. I'll go grab them.
Mira, why would she take off her glasses
before riding a bike?
She would need them to see.
Good point.
Yeah, I'd be bumping into everything
if I didn't have my glasses.
(GRUNTS, CHUCKLES) Whoopsie.
Here they are.
Silver glasses. Oh, good.
I can add them to my sketch.
Wait a second.
These glasses aren't real.
Maybe she left them behind
because she didn't
really need them to see.
You know, I've seen these glasses before.
But where?
(GASPS) I know who the girl is.
You do?
Let's think this through.
We know the girl has a long braid,
green eyes, and wore silver glasses.
I saw someone
who looks just like that today.
Princess Shivani!
Mira, why would Princess Shivani
have those glasses?
She is visiting the kingdom
with her father.
This morning,
we were trying on different disguises.
She picked out these glasses to wear.
I don't understand.
Why would she be going around town
in a disguise?
Good question. I'll go ask her.
Meet you all back at the chai shop.
(LAUGHS) I won, I won.
Shivani, I can't believe
you beat me again.
I learned from the best, Father.
Mira? Hi.
Namaste, Your Highness.
Princess Shivani,
may I speak with you for a moment?
-In private.
-Of course.
What is it, Mira?
There was a girl in Jalpur today.
She went to the chai shop,
the jewelry shop, and the bike shop.
And she was wearing these silver glasses.
Was it you?
Yes, it was me.
I borrowed the glasses.
Why did you wear a disguise?
Remember how I told you
that my father and I traveled
-to a lot of different kingdoms?
-Yes.
Well, we like to go in disguise
so we can learn more
about the people who live there.
If we're dressed in royal clothes,
everyone treats us as if we're special.
Oh, and when you're wearing a disguise,
you can blend in.
Yes, that's exactly right, Mira.
Thank you for letting us
borrow your disguises.
Queen Shanti, she figured it out.
I told you she would.
It's impossible to get anything past
our royal detective.
Mira, we've always heard
that the people of Jalpur are very kind.
But today, we saw it with our own eyes.
Everyone was so nice to me
even though I was a complete stranger.
Princess Shivani, everyone appreciated
how much you helped them.
In fact, Kamala asked me to find you
so you could taste her rice pudding again.
Really? I would love to.
Um, Princess Shivani, Your Highness,
here it is. My new recipe.
(SNIFFS) Oh, it smells heavenly.
BOTH: (SNIFFING) Oh, yes.
Please be honest. Don't hold back.
I can take it.
Mmm, it's so good.
More pistachios? Less chocolate?
Or more chocolate?
Kamala, it's absolutely perfect.
(SIGHS IN RELIEF) Thank you,
Princess Shivani.
Thank you.
Nani, could you come here, please?
Yes, dear.
Hello, everyone.
Oh, Princess Shivani, namaste.
Nani, I made something special for you.
Oh, thank you, my dear.
Kamala, it's delicious.
-I love it.
-So do we.
And we'll love it even more
once we eat it.
Princess Shivani, there's something
we'd like to give you
to help you remember your day in Jalpur.
I made this sketch
when we were looking for you.
It's so great. Thanks, Priya.
We have something
to give you, too, Princess.
We drew it ourselves.
(CHUCKLES) I love it.
I'm going to put them both up.
Chikku, we should start selling these.
Yeah, then we could open up
our own art studio.
The Chikku and Mikku Gallery.
MIKKU: You mean
the Mikku and Chikku Gallery.
CHIKKU: No, Chikku and Mikku.
MIRA: Mystery on the Waterfront.
MIKKU: Ah!
Nothing like a ride on a water taxi.
This is the life.
Mira, why are we on a water taxi?
We're heading to Jalpur market day.
See all the booths?
MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Ooh.
Auntie Pushpa's selling her purses there.
-(THUDS)
-ALL: Whoa!
Look out! Giant fish.
It's a boat, Chikku!
-MIKKU: Please, watch where you're going.
-Whoa!
I'm so very sorry.
This is our first day running
our new water taxi business,
and my brother over here
is still learning how to paddle.
I would be paddling just fine
if my sister over there stopped getting
her paddle caught in mine.
Excuse us. First day jitters.

They seem to have

Big problems.
You're right.
I wonder why they decided
to start a water taxi business.
Next stop, the Jalpur market.
Thanks for the ride, Uncle.
Of course, Mira.
Enjoy Jalpur market day.
MIRA: Wow.
Look at all the amazing things
they're selling today.
Ooh! Games and toys.
And shoes.
I could use a new shoe.
Chikku, you don't wear shoes.
This is comfy, though.
There's Priya. She's helping
Auntie Pushpa sell purses today.
Let's go see how she's doing.
Hi, Priya.
Do you need any help setting up?
Yes, please.
My mom keeps bringing over more stuff.
I can't figure out
where to put everything.
I can help you organize.
-We can help, too.
-We're the best organizers.
Hello, girls.
Auntie Pushpa, it's so exciting
that you have this booth.
It is exhausting, Mira. That's what it is.
Priya, what a fabulous job
you're doing setting up.
Thank you, darling.
You're welcome, Mommy.
New purses!
Line them up, Chikku. Line them up.
Hey, Mikku, this purse is big enough
to fit a mongoose.
Mommy, you brought more purses to sell?
Oh, Auntie, I love this beaded one.
Wait until you see this purse.
It's made with the most
exquisite gold thread.
But, can it fit a mongoose?
It's a special gift
for my dear friend Mrs. Kapadia.
Where is it? It's not here.
Maybe it dropped out of your bag.
It must have.
Oh, this is a disaster.
Don't worry, Auntie Pushpa. We'll find it.
We're on the case of the missing purse.

Auntie, when did you last see your purse?
At my boutique. I put it into this bag
so I could bring it over here
to the market.
Let's examine your bag
and see if we can find any clues.
Standby for clues.
We're going in.
-A toy boat!
-I love boats.
Auntie, where did you get that toy boat?
One of the water taxi drivers
gave it to me.
Hey, our water taxi driver
didn't give us a present.
Oh, you two can keep it.
Actually, it could be a clue.
Guys, you can have it later.
Auntie, after you put
your purse in this bag,
did you come straight here
to the market?
No. First I went to the Jalpur riverfront
to pick up some snacks.
BOTH: Snacks?
Oh, dear, I was so hoping
to surprise Mrs. Kapadia
with a special gift today.
Don't worry, Mommy.
You've got the Royal Detective
on the case.
Let's go to the garden square
and see if we can find that purse.
I'll wait here in case someone finds it
and drops it off.
Sounds like a plan.
Ready, Auntie Pushpa?
Auntie Pushpa?
MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Auntie on the loose.
Good luck keeping up with her.
Guys, come on.
Mira, get in. Get in.
That's my niece.
She's the Royal Detective.
Hello again, Mira.
Hi, Uncle. We're headed across the river.
Of course. Right away.
-(THUDS)
-ALL: Whoa!
Unbelievable. It's those two
water taxi drivers again.
Stay in your lane.
Watch your paddle, people.
-Her fault!
-His fault!
-Hey. Didn't need that.
-Seriously?
MAN: Good day.
WOMAN: We'll be back.
UNCLE: Off we go.
So, Auntie Pushpa,
you came here to get snacks?
Yes. I got some at the chai cart.
Oh, Mrs. Kapadia.
Pushpa. Just the person I wanted to see.
Mrs. Kapadia,
I had a special gift for you.
A purse made from gold thread.
I know how much you love gold thread.
(EXCITEDLY) I do! I do!
What a dear you are.
But now it's gone missing.
Thank goodness my niece is on the case.
You remember Mira, the Royal Detective.
Hello, Auntie.
And you might also remember
her esteemed mongoose helpers.
-The name's Mikku.
-And the other name is Chikku.
Hello, dears.
Pushpa, I had a gift for you, too.
Me? Oh, you shouldn't have.
BOTH: What is it?
A gorgeous jeweled mirror.
But you're not going to believe this.
It's also missing.
ALL: What?
It's awful. I'm truly beside myself.
I don't know what happened.
It was in this bag.
Well, you have absolutely
nothing to worry about.
My niece, the Royal Detective,
will find it for you.
Of course. I'm happy to help.
May I examine your bag?
Of course, dear.
She's looking for clues.
She did the same thing with my bag.
My, what a talented girl.
Huh. Another toy boat.
It looks exactly the same
as the one I found in Auntie Pushpa's bag.
Did you happen to get it
from a water taxi driver?
Yes. In fact, from two water taxi drivers
who were in one boat.
-What does it mean?
-Maybe there's a connection.
Oh, that is very smart.
Intelligence runs in our family.
Mrs. Kapadia,
which water taxi did you take?
-A blue one.
-Me, too.
In fact, that's it right there.
Let's talk to the drivers
of that water taxi.
Maybe they know what happened
to your purse and mirror.
Water taxi!
-Over here!
-Hello!
Watch your step, Mrs. Chopra.
I'm quite fine. Thank you very much.
Mrs. Chopra? Mrs. Sharma?
Don't forget your toy boats.
One for every customer.
BOTH: Thank you.
Excuse me, water taxi drivers!
I'd like to ask you two
a few questions, please.
Sorry. We're not taking
any more passengers.
MAN: Got to go. Bye!
Mother, let me get you a cup of chai.
Thank you, dear.
Ah, heavens.
That was the worst
water taxi ride of my life.
Truly awful.
They dropped me off
at the wrong stop twice.
-They bumped into us.
-Twice.
How do they stay in business?
That's a very good question.
Mrs. Chopra,
would you mind checking your bag
and letting me know
if anything is missing?
Mrs. Chopra, this is Mira.
The Royal Detective. My niece.
Oh, very impressive.
Of course, dear.
Oh, my wallet! It's not here.
ALL: What?
How could this be?
It's happened to all of us, dear.
It did.
After each one of you took a ride
in that water taxi.
I think I know what's going on.
Let's think this through.
Auntie Pushpa, Mrs. Kapadia
and Mrs. Chopra
all rode the blue water taxi
and all had things go missing
from their bags.
What if the drivers of the blue water taxi
have something to do with this?
(ALL GASP)
We need to go talk to them.
Oh, my
When I woke up this morning,
I knew it would be an interesting day.
And now, here I am.
Part of a mystery.
Oh, yes. It's so exciting.
Wonderful. Just wonderful.
Uncle, please follow that blue water taxi.
Right away, Mira.
Stop, please!
-Hello!
-Hey! Slow down.
WOMAN: We're closed. Closed for rides.
I have some questions.
-We want to talk to you.
-A word, please.
Stop right this minute.
-Sorry.
-We're in a rush!
Oh, really?
Do you two have something to hide?
BOTH: Oh Sorry, Auntie.
No, no, no. Nothing to hide.
Of course not, Auntie.
Go, Auntie.
She's good.
BOTH: How may we help you?
I'm on a case.
I'm looking for a purse with gold thread,
a jeweled mirror, and a wallet.
They belong to these aunties.
Oh, yes, they do.
-Indeed.
-That's right.
-Did you happen to see them?
-No.
May we search your water taxi?
Of course. Search away.
You won't find a thing.
Searching, searching,
searching, searching
Nope.
Mira, I'm not finding anything.
Like I said, we have nothing to hide.
Nothing. Nothing.
Hey, check this out.
The wood here
is a different color than the rest.
Let me try something.
-(KNOCKING)
-Who's there?
A secret compartment.
A secret compartment, who?
No, Chikku, Mira found
a secret compartment
-in the water taxi.
-CHIKKU: Oh.
Look what we have here.
(GASPS) My purse.
And my mirror.
And that's my wallet.
Stealing from aunties.
What were you thinking?
We have really great taste.
You don't want to mess with the aunties.
Or the Royal Detective.
(MOOING)
Deputy Oosha, these water taxi drivers
stole from the aunties.
(MOOING ANGRILY)
It's the police cow. Quick. paddle.
How many times do I have to tell you?
I don't know how!
BOTH: Whoa!
(BOTH GASP)
Hey, they're not even real
water taxi drivers.
It's those bandits again.
They were just pretending
to be water taxi drivers.
That's case closed.
So closed.
Thank you, Deputy Oosha.
(MOOING)
Pushpa, dear,
this is truly the most beautiful purse.
Thank you.
And this jeweled mirror is exquisite.
Thank you, Mrs. Kapadia.
And thank you, Mira,
for finding our lost things.
I'm happy to help anytime.
Oh, Pushpa,
you have a very talented niece.
Yes. It is wonderful
to have a detective in the family.
Mira, I'm so proud of you.
Uh, excuse me,
are you proud of us too, Auntie?
Yes, Mikku and Chikku.
Here, have a boat.
BOTH: Toy boats!
This is the best day of our lives.

MIRA: The Case of the Mysterious Girl.
You go first.
PRINCESS SHIVANI: No, you go first.
Okay. Same time.
One, two, three!
Young lady, I don't suppose
you saw my cane?
Here it is, kind sir.
Thank you.
Now tell me, why are you wearing
(CHUCKLES)
my glasses?
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Mira, these disguises are so great.
(CHUCKLES) And that wig is the best.
I know, right?
Princess Shivani,
it's so nice having you visit our kingdom.
I've always wanted
to spend more time in Jalpur.
It must be so exciting being
the Royal Detective.
It is. The thing I love most
about being a detective is
I get to help people.
The people here are so amazing, so kind.
I've heard that.
I wish I could get to know them.
QUEEN SHANTI: Girls, there you are.
Queen Shanti?
Your Majesty, King of Naiyapuram.
Father, Mira was just showing me
all the things a Royal Detective uses.
There's a whole closet of disguises.
Yes, they've been used
by many of the previous Royal Detectives.
(CHUCKLES) How fascinating, Shivani.
Please, feel free
to borrow anything you'd like.
Thanks, Mira.
I wouldn't mind taking a look around

Ready to go, Shivani?
Yes, Father.
ALL: Bye, Mira.
See you later.
PRIYA: Okay, Mira.
Pick an object. Any object.
Don't tell me what it is.
I'm going to draw it.
Hmm!
Okay. Got one!
Now describe to me what it looks like.
In detail.
Part of it is round and metal.
And under that part,
there are two crossed swords.
Done! Is it the display
in front of the sword shop?
Yeah! Wow, Priya!
You got all the details down.
-Great job!
-KAMALA: Mira, Mira!
I've been looking all over for you.
Oh! Pretty picture, Priya.
Hey, that looks exactly like the display
in front of the sword shop.
Yep. That's what I was going for.
What is it, Kamala?
Mira, I need your help.
Please come to the chai shop.
Ah, Kamala.
Here's that bowl you asked for.
-Thanks, Nani.
-(KISSES)
Hello, girls.
BOTH: Namaste, Nani.
So what happened, Kamala?
I was making a new rice pudding recipe.
It's going to be a surprise for my nani.
I came up with it myself.
That's impressive.
And we were tasting
I mean, helping.
Big, big helpers.
That's us.
Mmm-hmm. (SLURPING)
It was not going well.
I knew my rice pudding
was missing something. But what?
It was a problem.
A very serious problem.
Then a girl came into the shop.
She tasted it and suggested
I add pistachios and chocolate.
I never thought of that before.
Pistachio-chocolate rice pudding.
ALL: Yum!
Mira, I need to find her
so she can taste the new recipe
before I give it to my nani.
Can you help me, please?
Of course, Kamala.
We're on the case.

So, Kamala, tell me everything you know
about this girl.
Well, let's see.
I don't know her name.
I don't know where she lives.
I've never seen her before in my life.
I don't think she knows anything
about the girl.
I will have to agree with that.
Kamala, can you describe
what the girl looks like?
Maybe that will help us find her.
I know, I was there.
Me, too. Me, too!
Great! Priya, can you draw a picture
based on their description?
Sure, Mira.
Let's see. She had a mouth.
Ooh, and she had eyes.
Two eyes. And Wait, it's coming to me.
She also had a nose!
Right! Because she's a girl.
Chikku, we should just draw her.
We should. We should.
Here, you can use my sketch pad and pen.
BOTH: Art time!
Ooh, that's good!
-I call it great.
-Oh, yeah!
Perfection!
BOTH: (SING-SONGY) Masterpiece!
That's great, guys.
Yep, our work here is done.
Kamala, can you give us
a description of the girl?
Tell me anything you remember about her.
Let's see.
Oh, yes. Her hair was in a braid.
What kind of braid?
It started about here.
And it was very long.
It came close to getting
into the rice pudding when she tasted it.
Got it! Like that?
KAMALA: Yep! Perfect.
A lot of girls have braids.
Like you, Priya.
So we need more details
about what she looks like.
Maybe someone else in town saw her.
How are we going to figure that out?
Let's look around the shop
and see if we can find any clues.
Chikku, almond cookies.
We better investigate for clues.
Oh, yes. Very closely.
BOTH: Ugh!
Kamala, there's a problem over here
with one of your cookies.
What? Where?
There's a green blob on top of it.
I wouldn't serve that if were you.
What?
It looks like a stone.
Kamala, is it yours?
No. Definitely not.
What is a stone doing on a cookie?
Wait! I know. It belongs to that girl.
She had a bag full of stones
just like that.
It must have fallen out.
Huh I wonder if she got those stones
from the jewelry shop.
Kamala, we'll be back
as soon as we have more information.
Thanks, Mira. I'll be here.
Hello, auntie. I was wondering,
did a girl come here today
and get some stones like this one?
She had a long braid.
Oh, yes! Such a sweet girl.
Mmm, I was having such a busy morning
and she stayed to help me
and sort and polish
all the stones in the shop.
Wow, that's really nice.
She was particularly fascinated
with these green stones.
She said she didn't have any
where she lives.
Huh. So she must not be from Jalpur.
No wonder Kamala never saw her before.
Auntie, can you describe
what the girl looks like?
I remember her eyes.
They were the same color as these stones.
Very beautiful.
Ah, yes. I get that a lot, too.
You know, about my eyes
Being very beautiful.
Me, too. A lot.
So she has green eyes.
Got it, Priya?
Yep. I'm adding it to the sketch.
Auntie, do you know
where the girl went after she left?
Well, she didn't say.
Oh!
But she forgot this.
-A bike helmet?
-Huh.
Maybe she stopped at the bike shop
before she came here.
Auntie, when we find her,
we'll return the helmet.
Thank you, dear.
Good luck.
Let's head to the bike shop
and see if the twins saw her.
Chalo, chalo, let's go.
Hi, Manjeet. Hi, Ranjeet.
Hey, Mira, perfect timing.
You can test out our new bikes.
Yeah. We just fixed them up.
We've got bikes that are the perfect size
for you two, Mikku and Chikku.
I call the blue one.
I call the green one.
(BOTH MIMICKING HORN HONKING)
CHIKKU: Get out of the way.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Ranjeet, what were you thinking
when you put horns on the mini-bicycles?
That sound isn't a horn.
It's them.
(BOTH CONTINUE MIMICKING HORNS)
Ranjeet, Manjeet,
we're actually here on a new case,
and we have a question.
-Sure.
-What's up?
Did a girl come here before
and get this bike helmet?
Oh, yeah, we gave it to her.
You did?
Whoo-hoo!
Uh-huh. She stayed here for a long time.
She was really interested
in what we were doing.
Yeah. And she even helped us out
with our repairs.
She even told me the tires on this bike
over here were low on air.
That's so sweet of her.
I've never seen anyone so excited
to test out a bike.
-Whee!
-(LAUGHING)
Well, aside from Mikku and Chikku.
Maybe you can help us
with the description.
Here's a sketch I'm working on.
So far we know she has a long braid
and green eyes.
Looks right.
And she had glasses.
-Remember, Manjeet?
-Oh, yeah!
She took them off
while she was riding one of the bikes.
In fact, she forgot them.
They're in the back. I'll go grab them.
Mira, why would she take off her glasses
before riding a bike?
She would need them to see.
Good point.
Yeah, I'd be bumping into everything
if I didn't have my glasses.
(GRUNTS, CHUCKLES) Whoopsie.
Here they are.
Silver glasses. Oh, good.
I can add them to my sketch.
Wait a second.
These glasses aren't real.
Maybe she left them behind
because she didn't
really need them to see.
You know, I've seen these glasses before.
But where?
(GASPS) I know who the girl is.
You do?
Let's think this through.
We know the girl has a long braid,
green eyes, and wore silver glasses.
I saw someone
who looks just like that today.
Princess Shivani!
Mira, why would Princess Shivani
have those glasses?
She is visiting the kingdom
with her father.
This morning,
we were trying on different disguises.
She picked out these glasses to wear.
I don't understand.
Why would she be going around town
in a disguise?
Good question. I'll go ask her.
Meet you all back at the chai shop.
(LAUGHS) I won, I won.
Shivani, I can't believe
you beat me again.
I learned from the best, Father.
Mira? Hi.
Namaste, Your Highness.
Princess Shivani,
may I speak with you for a moment?
-In private.
-Of course.
What is it, Mira?
There was a girl in Jalpur today.
She went to the chai shop,
the jewelry shop, and the bike shop.
And she was wearing these silver glasses.
Was it you?
Yes, it was me.
I borrowed the glasses.
Why did you wear a disguise?
Remember how I told you
that my father and I traveled
-to a lot of different kingdoms?
-Yes.
Well, we like to go in disguise
so we can learn more
about the people who live there.
If we're dressed in royal clothes,
everyone treats us as if we're special.
Oh, and when you're wearing a disguise,
you can blend in.
Yes, that's exactly right, Mira.
Thank you for letting us
borrow your disguises.
Queen Shanti, she figured it out.
I told you she would.
It's impossible to get anything past
our royal detective.
Mira, we've always heard
that the people of Jalpur are very kind.
But today, we saw it with our own eyes.
Everyone was so nice to me
even though I was a complete stranger.
Princess Shivani, everyone appreciated
how much you helped them.
In fact, Kamala asked me to find you
so you could taste her rice pudding again.
Really? I would love to.
Um, Princess Shivani, Your Highness,
here it is. My new recipe.
(SNIFFS) Oh, it smells heavenly.
BOTH: (SNIFFING) Oh, yes.
Please be honest. Don't hold back.
I can take it.
Mmm, it's so good.
More pistachios? Less chocolate?
Or more chocolate?
Kamala, it's absolutely perfect.
(SIGHS IN RELIEF) Thank you,
Princess Shivani.
Thank you.
Nani, could you come here, please?
Yes, dear.
Hello, everyone.
Oh, Princess Shivani, namaste.
Nani, I made something special for you.
Oh, thank you, my dear.
Kamala, it's delicious.
-I love it.
-So do we.
And we'll love it even more
once we eat it.
Princess Shivani, there's something
we'd like to give you
to help you remember your day in Jalpur.
I made this sketch
when we were looking for you.
It's so great. Thanks, Priya.
We have something
to give you, too, Princess.
We drew it ourselves.
(CHUCKLES) I love it.
I'm going to put them both up.
Chikku, we should start selling these.
Yeah, then we could open up
our own art studio.
The Chikku and Mikku Gallery.
MIKKU: You mean
the Mikku and Chikku Gallery.
CHIKKU: No, Chikku and Mikku.
MIRA: Mystery on the Waterfront.
MIKKU: Ah!
Nothing like a ride on a water taxi.
This is the life.
Mira, why are we on a water taxi?
We're heading to Jalpur market day.
See all the booths?
MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Ooh.
Auntie Pushpa's selling her purses there.
-(THUDS)
-ALL: Whoa!
Look out! Giant fish.
It's a boat, Chikku!
-MIKKU: Please, watch where you're going.
-Whoa!
I'm so very sorry.
This is our first day running
our new water taxi business,
and my brother over here
is still learning how to paddle.
I would be paddling just fine
if my sister over there stopped getting
her paddle caught in mine.
Excuse us. First day jitters.

You're right.
I wonder why they decided

Next stop, the Jalpur market.
Thanks for the ride, Uncle.
Of course, Mira.
Enjoy Jalpur market day.
MIRA: Wow.
Look at all the amazing things
they're selling today.
Ooh! Games and toys.
And shoes.
I could use a new shoe.
Chikku, you don't wear shoes.
This is comfy, though.
There's Priya. She's helping
Auntie Pushpa sell purses today.
Let's go see how she's doing.
Hi, Priya.
Do you need any help setting up?
Yes, please.
My mom keeps bringing over more stuff.
I can't figure out
where to put everything.
I can help you organize.
-We can help, too.
-We're the best organizers.
Hello, girls.
Auntie Pushpa, it's so exciting
that you have this booth.
It is exhausting, Mira. That's what it is.
Priya, what a fabulous job
you're doing setting up.
Thank you, darling.
You're welcome, Mommy.
New purses!
Line them up, Chikku. Line them up.
Hey, Mikku, this purse is big enough
to fit a mongoose.
Mommy, you brought more purses to sell?
Oh, Auntie, I love this beaded one.
Wait until you see this purse.
It's made with the most
exquisite gold thread.
But, can it fit a mongoose?
It's a special gift
for my dear friend Mrs. Kapadia.
Where is it? It's not here.
Maybe it dropped out of your bag.
It must have.
Oh, this is a disaster.
Don't worry, Auntie Pushpa. We'll find it.
We're on the case of the missing purse.

Auntie, when did you last see your purse?
At my boutique. I put it into this bag
so I could bring it over here
to the market.
Let's examine your bag
and see if we can find any clues.
Standby for clues.
We're going in.
-A toy boat!
-I love boats.
Auntie, where did you get that toy boat?
One of the water taxi drivers
gave it to me.
Hey, our water taxi driver
didn't give us a present.
Oh, you two can keep it.
Actually, it could be a clue.
Guys, you can have it later.
Auntie, after you put
your purse in this bag,
did you come straight here
to the market?
No. First I went to the Jalpur riverfront
to pick up some snacks.
BOTH: Snacks?
Oh, dear, I was so hoping
to surprise Mrs. Kapadia
with a special gift today.
Don't worry, Mommy.
You've got the Royal Detective
on the case.
Let's go to the garden square
and see if we can find that purse.
I'll wait here in case someone finds it
and drops it off.
Sounds like a plan.
Ready, Auntie Pushpa?
Auntie Pushpa?
MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Auntie on the loose.
Good luck keeping up with her.
Guys, come on.
Mira, get in. Get in.
That's my niece.
She's the Royal Detective.
Hello again, Mira.
Hi, Uncle. We're headed across the river.
Of course. Right away.
-(THUDS)
-ALL: Whoa!
Unbelievable. It's those two
water taxi drivers again.
Stay in your lane.
Watch your paddle, people.
-Her fault!
-His fault!
-Hey. Didn't need that.
-Seriously?
MAN: Good day.
WOMAN: We'll be back.
UNCLE: Off we go.
So, Auntie Pushpa,
you came here to get snacks?
Yes. I got some at the chai cart.
Oh, Mrs. Kapadia.
Pushpa. Just the person I wanted to see.
Mrs. Kapadia,
I had a special gift for you.
A purse made from gold thread.
I know how much you love gold thread.
(EXCITEDLY) I do! I do!
What a dear you are.
But now it's gone missing.
Thank goodness my niece is on the case.
You remember Mira, the Royal Detective.
Hello, Auntie.
And you might also remember
her esteemed mongoose helpers.
-The name's Mikku.
-And the other name is Chikku.
Hello, dears.
Pushpa, I had a gift for you, too.
Me? Oh, you shouldn't have.
BOTH: What is it?
A gorgeous jeweled mirror.
But you're not going to believe this.
It's also missing.
ALL: What?
It's awful. I'm truly beside myself.
I don't know what happened.
It was in this bag.
Well, you have absolutely
nothing to worry about.
My niece, the Royal Detective,
will find it for you.
Of course. I'm happy to help.
May I examine your bag?
Of course, dear.
She's looking for clues.
She did the same thing with my bag.
My, what a talented girl.
Huh. Another toy boat.
It looks exactly the same
as the one I found in Auntie Pushpa's bag.
Did you happen to get it
from a water taxi driver?
Yes. In fact, from two water taxi drivers
who were in one boat.
-What does it mean?
-Maybe there's a connection.
Oh, that is very smart.
Intelligence runs in our family.
Mrs. Kapadia,
which water taxi did you take?
-A blue one.
-Me, too.
In fact, that's it right there.
Let's talk to the drivers
of that water taxi.
Maybe they know what happened
to your purse and mirror.
Water taxi!
-Over here!
-Hello!
Watch your step, Mrs. Chopra.
I'm quite fine. Thank you very much.
Mrs. Chopra? Mrs. Sharma?
Don't forget your toy boats.
One for every customer.
BOTH: Thank you.
Excuse me, water taxi drivers!
I'd like to ask you two
a few questions, please.
Sorry. We're not taking
any more passengers.
MAN: Got to go. Bye!
Mother, let me get you a cup of chai.
Thank you, dear.
Ah, heavens.
That was the worst
water taxi ride of my life.
Truly awful.
They dropped me off
at the wrong stop twice.
-They bumped into us.
-Twice.
How do they stay in business?
That's a very good question.
Mrs. Chopra,
would you mind checking your bag
and letting me know
if anything is missing?
Mrs. Chopra, this is Mira.
The Royal Detective. My niece.
Oh, very impressive.
Of course, dear.
Oh, my wallet! It's not here.
ALL: What?
How could this be?
It's happened to all of us, dear.
It did.
After each one of you took a ride
in that water taxi.
I think I know what's going on.
Let's think this through.
Auntie Pushpa, Mrs. Kapadia
and Mrs. Chopra
all rode the blue water taxi
and all had things go missing
from their bags.
What if the drivers of the blue water taxi
have something to do with this?
(ALL GASP)
We need to go talk to them.
Oh, my
When I woke up this morning,
I knew it would be an interesting day.
And now, here I am.
Part of a mystery.
Oh, yes. It's so exciting.
Wonderful. Just wonderful.
Uncle, please follow that blue water taxi.
Right away, Mira.
Stop, please!
-Hello!
-Hey! Slow down.
WOMAN: We're closed. Closed for rides.
I have some questions.
-We want to talk to you.
-A word, please.
Stop right this minute.
-Sorry.
-We're in a rush!
Oh, really?
Do you two have something to hide?
BOTH: Oh Sorry, Auntie.
No, no, no. Nothing to hide.
Of course not, Auntie.
Go, Auntie.
She's good.
BOTH: How may we help you?
I'm on a case.
I'm looking for a purse with gold thread,
a jeweled mirror, and a wallet.
They belong to these aunties.
Oh, yes, they do.
-Indeed.
-That's right.
-Did you happen to see them?
-No.
May we search your water taxi?
Of course. Search away.
You won't find a thing.
Searching, searching,
searching, searching
Nope.
Mira, I'm not finding anything.
Like I said, we have nothing to hide.
Nothing. Nothing.
Hey, check this out.
The wood here
is a different color than the rest.
Let me try something.
-(KNOCKING)
-Who's there?
A secret compartment.
A secret compartment, who?
No, Chikku, Mira found
a secret compartment
-in the water taxi.
-CHIKKU: Oh.
Look what we have here.
(GASPS) My purse.
And my mirror.
And that's my wallet.
Stealing from aunties.
What were you thinking?
We have really great taste.
You don't want to mess with the aunties.
Or the Royal Detective.
(MOOING)
Deputy Oosha, these water taxi drivers
stole from the aunties.
(MOOING ANGRILY)
It's the police cow. Quick. paddle.
How many times do I have to tell you?
I don't know how!
BOTH: Whoa!
(BOTH GASP)
Hey, they're not even real
water taxi drivers.
It's those bandits again.
They were just pretending
to be water taxi drivers.
That's case closed.
So closed.
Thank you, Deputy Oosha.
(MOOING)
Pushpa, dear,
this is truly the most beautiful purse.
Thank you.
And this jeweled mirror is exquisite.
Thank you, Mrs. Kapadia.
And thank you, Mira,
for finding our lost things.
I'm happy to help anytime.
Oh, Pushpa,
you have a very talented niece.
Yes. It is wonderful
to have a detective in the family.
Mira, I'm so proud of you.
Uh, excuse me,
are you proud of us too, Auntie?
Yes, Mikku and Chikku.
Here, have a boat.
BOTH: Toy boats!
This is the best day of our lives.
