Let's hear it for Mira
Royal Detective
MIRA: The Eid Mystery
Good morning, Auntie Pushpa.
Mira, good morning.
Papa asked if you could shorten
the pants of his uniform.
They're a little too big for him.
I'll take care of it, just as soon
as I get through all the new orders.
I'm in such high demand.
I'd like one of these
kurtas in soft brown, please,
to match my eyes.
I'll take one in red,
stitched shorter in length
and tailored around the sleeves.
(DOOR OPENS)
Mrs. Khan, Sadia, so nice to see you both.
Eid Mubarak, Pushpa dear.
Eid Mubarak, Mira.
Eid Mubarak, Sadia.
What does "Eid Mubarak" mean?
It's a greeting for a special holiday
that my family and other families
celebrate in Jalpur.
Yes, the holiday of Eid.
It's a day of happiness
and being with those you love.
On Eid, we think of others and give gifts.
Sadia, your outfit is so pretty.
Courtesy of my boutique.
You look fabulous, dear.
Thank you, Auntie.
It's the perfect outfit for Eid.
We came to drop off some special
Eid treats to thank you, dear Pushpa.
You are too kind.
Naveen, look what Mrs. Khan brought us.
We're hosting a dinner party
for Eid tonight
and we would love it if you came.
We'd love to.
You had me at dinner.
You had me at party.
It's such a lovely holiday.
There are already celebrations
going on around town.
Yeah, I'm going to go check them out
while my mom does some errands.
Do you want to come with me?
That sounds amazing. Let's go.
Bye, Mrs. Khan.
MRS. KHAN: Have a lovely time, girls.
I'm so excited that you guys
are celebrating Eid with us.
Sadia, I've never celebrated Eid before.
I don't know much about this holiday.
Don't worry.
I've been celebrating Eid my entire life.
I know so much about it,
some people even call me the Eid expert.
BOTH: Ooh.
Really?
No. But I figure if I say it enough times,
then it'll catch on.
Any questions?
-Me! Me! Call on me!
-I have some questions.
Yes, Mikku and Chikku?
Why do people celebrate Eid?
Is there food involved?
What do you do on Eid?
Chikku, you're overwhelming Sadia
with your questions.
So, about the food
You've got questions,
I've got all your answers.
(SINGING) When you see
The crescent moon
Eid is finally here
The month of Ramadan is on
A special time of year
With mehndi on our hands
We dress up
And give out sweets
Gifts and greetings
All around
For everyone we meet
Eid Mubarak
Eid Mubarak
Let's enjoy the day and say
Eid Mubarak
Eid Mubarak
Time to celebrate
Eid Mubarak
Eid Mubarak
Share a feast
with family and friends
Think of others
Joy and happiness
Today we're thankful
For what we have
And everyone we love
Hey!
We find a way
To give our thanks
Or the best part,
give a hug!
There are coins
Inside this envelope
A gift for kids to spend
Called Eidi
Use it how you like
Or share it with a friend
Eid Mubarak
Eid Mubarak
Let's enjoy the day
And say
Eid Mubarak
Eid Mubarak
Time to celebrate
Eid Mubarak
Eid Mubarak
Share a feast
with family and friends
Think of others
Joy and happiness
Hey, hey, hey
Mubarak! Mubarak!
Hey, hey, hey
Wow, Sadia, I'm so glad
you're here to explain Eid to us.
My favorite part is hugging.
Yeah, we need to practice that
so we can get it down.
Bring it in, plant.
BOTH: Whoops.
Back down there.
Nothing to see here.
(LAUGHS) Mikku, Chikku, the hug
is for people, not plants.
We're working our way up to people.
MIRA: Hey, what's this?
Sadia, didn't your dad say
that for Eid, kids get envelopes
with money in them as gifts?
Yes. They're called Eidi.
All the kids who celebrate Eid get them.
So someone must have dropped this Eidi.
They lost their gift?
They must be so sad.
Don't worry. We'll figure out
who this envelope belongs to.
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
Sadia, will you come on the case with us?
Since you are the Eid expert.
Eid expert? It caught on.
Yes!
Sure, Mira. I'd love to help.
Did you get any envelopes
that matched the design of this one?
No. All the Eidi envelopes
I got have different designs.
How will we track down
who this one belongs to?
Let's take a closer look.
Sadia, this is the part where Mira
pulls out her magnifying glass.
Told you.
-'Cause we are
-BOTH: The Mira experts.
Hmm. There's a little piece
of metal in a diamond shape.
Maybe it's a clue.
That's strange. I've never seen metal
on an Eidi envelope before.
We need to figure out
exactly what this metal is.
I wish we knew a metal expert.
I can think of two people who can help.
Come on. Let's go.
Eid Mubarak, Ranjeet and Manjeet.
BOTH: Hi, Sadia. Hi, Mira.
I bet you're both here to take advantage
-of our special offer today.
-Free bike tune-ups.
Actually, we're here to ask
for some help with the new case.
We found a lost Eidi envelope.
-Oh, no!
-Someone lost their gift?
We're trying to figure out
who it belongs to.
There's a tiny piece of metal stuck to it.
Can you take a look?
No problem.
While you're doing that,
would you mind if we practice hugging
some bike parts?
Sure. Go for it.
Mikku, I'll show you how it's done.
(HORN BLOWS)
Maybe I had better show you how it's done.
-Careful, Mikku.
-(HORN TOOTS)
Looks like there's some glue on there.
Uh-oh, I think I may have
hugged a little too hard.
(HORN TOOTING)
Whoa!
-(HORN TOOTING)
-Still stuck.
I got you, Mikku. Ooh.
(GROANS)
(TOOTING CONTINUES)
I don't recognize this.
It's not like the metal
we use for handlebars.
Or like the metal we use for the frame.
Huh, it's so thin and bendable.
There's no way it could be used for bikes.
Maybe a toy rickshaw?
Nope. It's too delicate, even for that.
Good to know.
Thank you, Ranjeet and Manjeet.
-BOTH: Good luck.
-I'll be back soon, guys.
I want to buy nice gift
for my little brother
with my Eidi.
Sounds great, Sadia!
Chikku, let's roll.
-(BOTH GRUNTING)
-(HORN TOOTING)
-Let us help you out.
-(BOTH GRUNT)
Okay, the hug with that bike horn
lasted way too long.
Thank you, Mira.
Sadia, we'd give you
an Eid hug if we knew how.
You'll get the hug down in no time, guys.
What do we do now, Mira?
We need to figure out if anyone
recognizes this envelope.
Maybe we can go around
town and ask people.
That's perfect.
Part of celebrating Eid
is visiting all your friends.
-Party!
-Oh, yes!
Great. Then we can investigate
and celebrate at the same time.
Plus, I know everyone
who celebrates Eid in Jalpur.
-Because you are
-BOTH: The Eid expert.
(CHUCKLES) You know it.
(INDIAN SONG PLAYING)
SADIA: I loved seeing so many friends.
But the lost envelope is still lost.
What do we do next, Mira?
We can keep knocking on doors.
(GROANS) I don't think
I can eat another bite.
Sad but true.
Chikku, there's something
stuck between your teeth.
It looks just like the piece of metal
that's on the envelope.
Chikku, you're not supposed
to eat metal or envelopes.
I did not eat any envelopes.
I wasn't that hungry.
Wait a second.
Something you ate must have had
that same metal on it.
Think, Chikku, what did you eat?
Oh, too much food to remember.
Let's see, laddus, jalebis,
more laddus, more jalebis,
Ah, memories.
Wait, I know. My family sometimes
has sweets with shiny stuff on them.
Do you know what kind of sweets?
No, but my dad will.
We can go to his shop and ask him.
MIRA: Great, let's go.
SADIA: Abba! Eid Mubarak!
Sadia. And Mira, too.
What a nice treat to see you here.
-Eid Mubarak, Mr. Khan.
-I'm helping Mira solve an Eid mystery.
An Eid mystery?
That sounds very exciting.
Mr. Khan, we were wondering
if you could help us out with a clue.
It will be my pleasure.
Chikku, open wide.
Ahh
The clue is inside Chikku's mouth.
Oh, I see.
Does it look familiar?
Yes, it's a piece of vark.
Vark? Is that a kind of metal?
Vark's not really metal, Mikku.
It's a shiny decoration
that is just for desserts
on special occasions like Eid.
Mr. Khan, do you know
which sweets use vark?
I'm afraid not.
But you can ask Mrs. Jafri
next door at the sweet shop.
-Thank you, Abba.
-Thanks, Mr. Khan.
Of course. See you at dinner.
MRS. JAFRI: Here you go, my dear.
Mira, Sadia, how can I help you?
Mrs. Jafri, someone lost
their Eidi envelope today.
There was a piece of vark stuck to it
And we were wondering if anyone bought
any sweets with vark on them, today.
-Oh, yes.
-(ALL CHEERING)
Just about everyone did today.
I sell so many sweets with vark on Eid.
Did you happen to sell any
that are diamond shaped?
Yes, one kind. This kaju barfi.
In fact, I've only sold one box
of the diamond shaped ones today.
Really? Who bought them?
I've been so busy. I can't remember.
I'm sorry, girls.
Thank you, Mrs. Jafri. We'll keep looking.
MRS. JAFRI: Good luck!
Ah, Mira, your father's pants are ready,
and they are impeccably tailored,
if I do say so myself.
Thanks, Auntie.
What's wrong, girls?
Why the long faces?
Someone lost their Eidi envelope,
but we don't know who.
And we've asked everyone in town.
It's so sad.
Too sad.
Oh, I know what will cheer you up.
Have some of this kaju barfi
that Mrs. Khan gave me.
Thanks, Auntie,
but I'm actually full for once.
Although I might have
a little extra room in my tummy.
On second thought, me too.
(MIRA GASPS) Kaju barfi,
shaped like a diamond with vark on top.
I think I know who dropped the envelope.
ALL: You do?
Let's think this through.
We found the envelope outside
of Auntie Pushpa's shop.
That means whoever dropped it
must have passed by here.
It has a diamond shaped piece of vark on.
And there's only one sweet
that has diamond shaped vark on it,
the kaju barfi.
Plus, only one person bought it.
SADIA: Exactly.
So, whoever bought it,
dropped the envelope.
And Auntie Pushpa
got the kaju barfi from
CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Mrs. Khan!
Wait! Do you think my mother
is the one who dropped the Eidi?
Yes. And we have to return it.
Chalo, chalo! Let's go!
-SADIA: Ammi!
-Sadia!
We've been waiting
for you, and your friends.
We're just about to start dinner.
Sorry, we're on official
royal detective business.
Mrs. Khan does this
envelope belong to you?
Oh, my goodness.
Yes, it does.
I've been looking all over for it.
CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Yay!
Oh, yes! We solved it.
-And that's
-BOTH: Case closed.
But I must give it back to you, Mira.
Me? Why?
Oh, I set this special Eidi envelope
aside as a gift for you.
I must have accidentally dropped it
while delivering sweets.
Oh! Thank you so much, Auntie.
You're very welcome.
Eid is all about thinking of others.
And no one in Jalpur does that better
than you, Mira.
Mikku, Chikku,
don't think we forgot about you.
-What?
-We got presents?
BOTH: Thank you, Uncle.
Now come, come.
It's time to eat.
What a day.
Not only did we get to solve the mystery,
but I also got to spend
Eid with you, Mira.
I can't wait to celebrate
together next year, Sadia.
I'll let you in on a little secret, Mira.
There are two Eids.
The next one is in a few months.
Abba, I'm supposed to be the expert.
Well, we are the hugging experts.
Yeah, we got this hug down.
That was perfect, guys.
Yes! Now, who else wants a hug?
Hugs, right here.
Bring it in, people. Let's go. Come on.
I know you want another one.
(INDIAN MUSIC PLAYING)
MIRA: The Case of the Pinched Paintbrush
Peacock purple. That's a color?
Yes, there's also rooster red.
Thanks for helping me organize
my art supplies, Mira.
Sure, Priya.
Oh, I love the sparkles on this brush.
Me, too.
I put sparkles on the handle
so I can find it easily,
but they get on everything.
-Why is that?
-See how it has these wide bristles?
That makes it the best brush
for painting portraits like that one.
It's a magnificent portrait.
The colors, the brushstrokes.
The mongooses.
Hi, Mikku. Hi, Chikku.
What are you doing with all those
cleaning supplies?
We're helping Raj, the chicken,
clean his coop.
And of course, he only wanted the best.
So we brought every cleaning item
we could find.
-Whoa.
-Oops!
-Guys, you dropped a mop.
-And a rag.
-Thank you.
-Whoopsie!
(CHOTU SCREAMING)
PRIYA AND MIRA: Hi, Chotu.
Chotu, my paintbrush. Come here, you.
Chotu, give me back my brush, please?
Thanks, you little cutie.
(CHOTU GIGGLING)
Whoa! Chotu, what are you doing?
Paws off the mop, Chotu.
Kid's got some serious muscle.
BOTH: Whoa!
BOTH: Our cleaning supplies.
My art supplies.
What a mess!
Chotu.
Priya, here are some paints.
-Soap.
-Mop.
Whoa. What is going on in here?
Meena, Chotu is getting into everything.
You just have to know how to talk to him.
Watch this.
Chotu,
want to go to the park
with your best big sister ever?
See?
Chotu, best big sister ever.
Remember? Wait for me.
(RAJ CLUCKING)
Oh, no. Raj is getting upset.
Because he wants us
to start cleaning his coop.
We got to go.
CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Coming, Raj.
Bye. Good luck.
(SIGHS) Now we can
finally finish organizing.
PUSHPA: Priya, I need you right away.
I spoke too soon.
Coming, Mummy.
Priya, wait until you hear.
Beti, Prince Veer has some wonderful news.
I do indeed.
Priya, my Great Aunt Rupa
wants you to paint her portrait.
-Oh, wow.
-Priya, that's amazing.
Naturally, I've painted
many portraits of her myself,
demonstrating my talent,
skill and impeccable artistry.
Now, I need one of Priya's paintings
to add to my collection.
Hello, Great Aunt Rupa.
-Your Highness.
-Your Majesty.
I've heard so much
about Priya's paintings,
I had to come see them myself.
Priya painted all of these, Your Majesty.
My! How lovely!
Would you paint one of me just like that?
-I would be honored.
-RUPA: Excellent.
I have the perfect spot
picked out by the waterfront.
I'll go get my painting supplies.
-I'll help.
-Very good.
I'll see you at the waterfront, girls.
MIRA: This is so exciting.
I know. I need my paints, my easel.
Wait. Where's my special brush?
-Isn't it on the table?
-No.
Mira, I can't paint Great Aunt
Rupa's portrait without my special brush.
Don't worry. We'll find it.
Just one thing.
Since Mikku and Chikku
are cleaning Raj's coop,
I'm going to need a little extra help
from you.
-Sure, Mira.
-Great.
Then you and I are 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
Let's examine the table
and see if we can find any clues.
Huh! There are sparkles here.
Those are the same ones
I put on the handle of my brush.
And more sparkles on the ground.
Priya, does this handprint
on the door look familiar?
Yes, it's Chotu's.
Oh, no!
What if it grabbed my brush
and took it to the park?
We'll track him down, Priya.
-Track what down?
-Girls, what's wrong?
Auntie Pushpa, Uncle Naveen,
we have a little problem.
A huge problem.
I think Chotu may have taken my brush.
I can't paint Great Aunt Rupa's
portrait without it.
What am I going to tell her?
Oh, darling,
don't you worry about a thing.
While you find your paintbrush,
your father and I will keep
Her Highness entertained.
We will? How?
PUSHPA: Leave that to me.
Your Highness,
may I offer you some sweets?
Oh, they look marvelous. Thank you.
Where is Priya?
I thought I heard her leave.
She had to step outside for a moment
to get, um, some inspiration.
What beautiful sarees.
I would love to take a look at them.
Absolutely.
Naveen.
Your Majesty.
Here you are.
There are more in the back as well.
This is going to take a while.
PRIYA: Okay. Where is Chotu?
Meena said she was
bringing him to the park,
so he must be here somewhere.
-MIKKU: Look out!
-Run for your lives!
MIKKU: Hide! Hide! Hide!
-(RAJ SQUAWKING)
-CHIKKU: Don't let him see us.
Mikku, Chikku, is everything okay?
No. Mira. Raj was not happy
with the way we cleaned his coop.
Really not happy.
-So we had to leave.
-Quickly.
Well, I'm glad you're both here.
We can use your help.
Priya's paintbrush is missing.
MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Wait, what?
You're on the case without us?
You can't solve a case without us, Mira.
-Can she?
-Don't worry, guys.
We need your help, too.
We're looking for Chotu.
We think he may have Priya's paintbrush.
-Chotu, come back!
-(CHOTU BABBLING)
There he is.
See? She can't solve a case without us.
Meena, did you happen to see Chotu
holding a paint brush
with sparkles on the handle?
I don't know.
-Maybe.
-Maybe?
Chotu ran ahead the whole way here,
grabbing everything.
Leaves, rocks
-(GOAT BLEATING)
-(CHOTU GIGGLING)
Chotu, do not pick up that goat.
You have no idea what I've been through.
-Meena
-BOTH: We got this.
-CHIKKU: Chotu, step away from the goat.
-MIKKU: Shoo, buddy! Shoo!
What are we supposed to do now, Mira?
If Chotu did take your brush,
maybe he dropped it somewhere.
Let's look around the park.
Meena, where did you take Chotu?
We played over on the slide.
Let's start there.
Okay. Where's Priya's brush, Chotu?
CHIKKU: Follow that kid.
I'll bet he leads us
right to the stolen goods.
Priya, I see something
with sparkles on it.
PRIYA: Please be my paintbrush.
What is it?
-It looks like a tiny rag.
-(CHOTU LAUGHING)
Hey, that rag looks kind of familiar.
Because it belongs to us.
What's it doing here?
It must have fallen out of our Flycycle
on the way to Raj's coop.
Oh, yeah.
I was wondering where that went.
Mira, I don't see my brush
anywhere around here.
Why don't we try retracing
Meena and Chotu's steps
back to the boutique.
If Chotu is grabbing things on the way,
he may have dropped the paintbrush.
Let's go.
Your Highness,
that looks absolutely exquisite on you.
Thank you. Oh, that one is nice, too.
I will take both, please.
Wonderful. I will wrap them up for you.
Thank you, dear Mrs. Bhutani.
I suppose we should get started
on my portrait now.
Portrait? Yes! Where's Priya?
Priya? Well, um, she
Your Highness, I must ask about your hair.
My hair? What about it?
It's so, so
regal.
How do you make it that way?
I'm glad someone finally noticed.
I have to admit it's a process.
First, I start with a dab of oil.
Can you define "dab," please?
I want to make sure I get it just right.
It's the size of a coin.
No, more like a pea.
Actually, more like a lentil.
MIRA: So, Meena, you and Chotu
walked this way?
Yes. He did a few circles
around the garden.
Just like that.
(LAUGHING, BABBLING)
Is he ever going to stop running?
It's a trick.
He's trying to tire us out.
Nothing here.
Wait. I see something
sparkling in the bush.
PRIYA: Me, too. It's
Not my brush.
Guys, this looks like your mop.
And here's something else you dropped.
Our soap! We really could have used that
in Raj's coop.
We also could have used a bigger bucket.
We keep finding all the cleaning supplies
Mikku and Chikku dropped.
But where's my brush?
May I see that soap for a second?
Huh. It has sparkles on it,
just like the mop and rag we found.
Priya, I think I know where your brush is.
ALL: You do?
Let's think this through.
The last time we saw Priya's paintbrush,
it was on the table in Priya's workshop.
Maybe when Mikku and Chikku
bumped into the table,
and the art supplies got all mixed up
with their cleaning supplies,
Mikku and Chikku accidentally put
Priya's brush in their bucket
and took it with them.
Priya, you said the sparkles
get on everything.
That would explain why there are sparkles
on the mongooses' cleaning supplies.
MIKKU: I'm a little confused.
Are you saying we have the paintbrush?
Impossible. I can't believe it.
I won't believe it.
Guys, where are the rest
of your cleaning supplies?
Outside Raj's coop.
We need to check them out.
Chalo, chalo! Let's go!
Let's look inside the coop.
-Wow.
-That is something.
I'm glad you like our work.
Yeah. We were so happy
the little broom we were using
had sparkles all over it.
Mikku, Chikku,
may I see this little broom?
Sure.
Guys, that's not a broom.
That's my paintbrush, and it's ruined.
I can't use this to paint
Great Aunt Rupa's portrait.
Priya, we're really sorry.
We didn't mean to take it.
I know. It was an accident.
I'll just tell Great Aunt Rupa that
I can't do her portrait.
But maybe you can.
How?
Great Aunt Rupa wants her portrait to look
like the ones I did with this brush.
What if you use a different brush
and do the portrait in a new way?
A new way?
Yes. It may not look like the others,
but I bet it will look great.
Great Aunt Rupa loves all your paintings.
Okay. I guess I can try a different brush.
CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Priya, you got this.
There.
What do you think, Great Aunt Rupa?
Does it need more color
on your saree or
(WHISPERING) Do you think she likes it?
I love it.
My dear, it's absolutely magnificent.
So original.
You know, Veer, maybe you should take
painting lessons from Priya.
Hmm. Well, she does have a unique style.
It's this brush.
I've never used it
to paint portraits before.
But now that I know what I can do with it,
I think it's going to be
my new special paintbrush.
Wonderful, Priya.
We're so proud of you, beti.
-(CHOTU BABBLING)
-Chotu, come back with Priya's paintbrush.
CHIKKU (SCREAMS): It's not too late
to change your ways!
