"Looks like I'’ve finally
got you, schultzy,

"Said detective mike
with a grin.

"Yeah,schultzy sighed,

"I guess you'’re just
too smart for me,

Detective mike."

See? That'’s schultzy
giving up.

You really liked
that book, huh, k.c.?

Me, too.

We'’ll take this one
back to the library,

And I'’ll get you another
detective mike story

To read tomorrow.

[Barks]

But right now, I'’m going
to take a little rest.

Why don'’t you
go and play

With your friends?

[Barks]

Last one to the playground
is a rotten dog biscuit!

Whoa--ooh!

[Laughs]

Looks like you'’re
the dog biscuit, "t."

Maybe. But I'’m
also going to be

The first one on
the merry-go-round.

Huh? Hey!

Hoo-hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo!

Whoa-ho-ho! Ooh!

What happened?

Ooh, you ok?

I'’m ok, but
what happened

To the merry-
go-round?

It'’s gone!

It was here
yesterday.

Maybe somebody took it!

[Barking]

Hi, guys!

K.c.!

K.c.!

K.c.!

[Laughs]

[Barks]

[Laughs]

[Laughing and barking]

[Both laugh]

[Both bark]

What'’s going on,
guys?

The merry-go-round
is missing.

We think someone
stole it.

We do?
We do?

Really?

We don'’t really know
what happened to it,

But it'’s gone.

Wow, a mystery!

Detective mike could
figure out what happened.

Who'’s
detective mike?

Oh, he'’s this really cool
guy in this book series

Who solves all kinds
of mysteries.

Come on, I'’ll show you
what I mean.

Detective mike
can solve

Any mystery
in the world.

All: wow.

Do you think
he could figure out

What happened
to the merry-go-round?

Well, he'’s not real.

But I bet his books
could teach us

How to figure
it out.

The first thing
detective mike

Usually does
is a stakeout.

"Stakeout"? Mmm.
I love steak!

Mmm. Me, too.

Mmm-mm. Me, too.
Let'’s do a stakeout.

Hold it, everyone!

What?what?
What?

A "stakeout"
doesn'’t mean

You get to eat
steak.

Oh.oh.
Oh.

It means
you hide

Near the scene
of the mystery

And wait to see
who shows up.

Oh...
Oh...
Oh...

But what if
no one shows up?

Then what do you eat?

I think we better
pack a lunch.

Guys, forget
the food!

The important
thing

Is to just
be there

In case someone
shows up.

Come on!

Let'’s go to
the playground.

Right!ok!
Great!

Ok, detective cleo,
you hide inside the slide.

I'’ll be in the bushes.

And detective clifford...
Uh, clifford? Where are you?

Here I am.

Ha! That'’s a great
hiding place.

Now, where'’s
detective t-bone?

Here he comes.

What'’s in the sack, t-bone?

Snacks--just in case.

Charley: bye!
See you later!

Hide!

Wow, they took
the merry-go-round already.

[Gasps]

[Chomping]

[Laughs]

[Muttering]

Whoa--ooh!

Did you hear that?

Charley said, "theytook
the merry-go-round already."

I think he knows
who "they" are!

I didn'’t hear him
say anything.

Did you, clifford?

No. I was too far away.

How about you, t-bone?

Sorry. I only heard
chewing sounds.

Well, iheard him.

We believe you, cleo.

We just don'’t know
what to do about it.

Well, let'’s see
what the book says

Detective mike would do.

Huh?

It looks like detective mike

Is following that guy.

[Mutters]

Right.
He'’s tailing him.

Hey, I'’ve got a tail!

Me, too!

Me, too!

No, not that
kind of tail.

"Tailing" means you
follow someone--

Without being seen.

Oh.
Oh.
Oh.

Well, great!

So let'’s start tailing
charley. Come on!

Uh, I think
I better stay here

And stakeout
some more, guys--

Just in case.

Good idea, t-bone--
just in case.

All right...

Hey, look, he'’s going
into the seashell shop.

Ok, he'’s gone inside.

This is the time
when detective mike

Would do some
investigating.

What'’s
"investigating"?

That'’s when you look at
something very closely.

So why don'’t you go
and look closely

At what'’s in
charley'’s crate.

Right!

[Yells]

Crabs.
Crabs.

[Chuckles]

Looks like curiosity

Got the best of you
this time, cleo.

I was just taking these crabs
over to my dad'’s restaurant.

See you later.

I don'’t think those crabs
had anything to do

With the missing
merry-go-round.

Let'’s head back
to the park to see

How detective t-bone'’s
stakeout is going.

[All gasp]

Clifford:
now all the playground
equipment is missing.

K.c.: Good thing
detective t-bone was here.

He can tell us
what happened.

I don'’t think so.

[Snoring]

T-bone! T-bone,
we'’re back.

Wha? Who? Huh?

Did you see anything,
t-bone?

Hey, what happened
to the playground?

I guess not.

Did you see anything
at all suspicious, "t"?

I--i don'’t think so.

Ok, then. Let'’s look
in the book and see

What detective mike
would do next.

Cleo: looks like
he'’s going to follow
some tracks.

Here'’s some tracks.

I bet following these
will give us some answers.

[Sniffing]

[Muttering]

Hey, careful.

Looks like
the tracks stop here.

Hey, doesn'’t that truck
belong to your human bruno?

It isbruno'’s truck!

Whoa, quick,
hide, you guys!

Look out!
Take cover!

K.c.: What is
bruno doing?

[Car honks]

Look!

Oh, my gosh!

Sheriff lewis!

Gosh,
I can'’t believe

Bruno would take
the playground
equipment.

Or sheriff lewis,
either!

There'’s got to be
more to it.

Oh, what would
detective mike do

In a case like this?

Clifford: it looks
like he'’s listening

Through the wall
with that glass.

K.c.: We don'’t have any
glass to listen with.

I know what we can do.

Bruno: well, sheriff lewis,
I really think folks
are going to like

The new color
I'’m going to paint
the playground equipment.

I know the kids
will like it.

Did you hear that,
guys?

Bruno is painting
the equipment.

Bruno: we should be able
to take all this

Back to the playground
by tomorrow.

And sheriff lewis
is helping him.

So that'’s what'’s
going on.

I knew no one around here
would steal anything.

Isn'’t this great,
detective k.c.?

Bruno is just painting
the playground equipment.

Wow! You'’re right.

We didsolve
a mystery--

Just like
detective mike.

The mystery of the missing
merry-go-round!

[Howling]

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

It'’s story time!

You want to hear
a speckle story, don'’t you?

Woof! Woof!

I thought so.

He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is "speckle
and the camping trip."

Speckle and his friends
were excited to be going

On their very first
camping trip.

With everything they needed

Bundled snugly
in their backpacks,

Off they went in search of
the perfect spot to set up camp.

Soon they found
a wonderful place,

And since there was
lots to do before nightfall,

Everyone agreed to take on
an important job.

Working together, speckle
and reba set up the tents.

Ravi cleared the campground
of any twigs or branches.

And luna and darnell prepared
a special camping treat:

S'’mores!

As the sun went down,

They gathered
around their lantern,

Sharing stories and enjoying
their wonderful adventure

In the great outdoors--

Right in their own backyard.

The end.

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

Woof!

[Laughs]

[Barks]

[Shouts of joy]

I just don'’t
get it, mac.

Why would anyone want
to go camping on purpose?

I mean, it was nice
of emily elizabeth

To invite us and all,

But I'’m really going to miss
the comforts of home.

[Struggling]

[Barks]

Oh, well, come on, mackie.

At least we can try
to make ourselves comfortable.

[Struggling]

Let'’s hurry and get
this tent set up.

Then we can go
for a hike.

Sounds cool to me.
I love hiking.

It was so great
of your parents

To take us all camping,
emily elizabeth.

Our whole family
loves to camp--

Even clifford.

[Curious whines]

[Laughing]

I think we'’ll
have to find you

Someplace else
to sleep tonight, boy.

Woof!

[Laughing]

Ah, your tent
looks great, girls.

But where'’s jetta?

She'’s not sleeping
with us, dad.

She brought her
own special tent
to stay in--see?

Well, uh,
that'’s quite a tent.

Let'’s go over
and see if jetta

Needs any help,
emily elizabeth.

Ok.

Mary: jetta,
are you there?

Oh, hi, guys!

Need any help?

Sure. You can help me
hook up my vcr.

Vcr?
Vcr?

I got my computer
hooked up,

And the battery pack
is working great,

But I just can'’t seem
to get the vcr working.

Wow, jetta.

This looks just like
your room at home.

I figured since we'’re
going to be way out here
in the wilderness,

I better bring along some
interesting stuff to do.

But there are lots of
interesting things to do

In the woods, jetta.

And none of them
need electricity.

Come on, kids.

Why don'’t we all hike
down to the waterfall?

Great!
Ok!

I'’ll be right there.
I just have to find my scooter.

This map says
the waterfall

Is at the end
of the trail.

[Knocking]

Listen.
I hear a woodpecker.

[Birds chirp]

I can hear
a mockingbird.

[Motor runs]

What'’s thatnoise?

It'’s jetta.

Hi, guys.

See you at the waterfall!

Look! A family
of raccoons!

Raccoons? Where? Where?

Jetta, watch
where you'’re going!

[Jetta yells]

[Motor stops]

This is really nice!

Yep. It sure is
pretty up here.

And it'’s so quiet.

Yes! I made it
to level !

[Cheering]

[Sighing]
we should probably

Get going soon,
everyone.

Oh, my! Look, mark!

Those are eastern-tailed
blue butterflies.

I'’ve never seen one
so close up before.

Look! There'’s
a whole flock of them!

Wow.
Wow.

[Whispering]
jetta, you'’re missing it.

No, I'’m not.

I'’m practically
at level .

Jetta, you just
have to look.

Wow!

Jetta, you have
to see this.

Ahoo!
I did it! Yes!

Did you see,
emily elizabeth?

Did you see
what I did on my game?

Jetta, I see you

Playing your video game
all the time!

But I'’ve never seen
so many butterflies,

And now you'’ve
scared them away.

Huh? But i--

Come on, girls.
Let'’s get moving.

The waterfall
should be just ahead.

Ok, dad.

Did I miss something?

[Music plays in headphones]

[Water flows]

Hey, everyone! I think
I hear the waterfall!

Whoa!
Cool!
Wow!

Come on, clifford!
Let'’s hurry!

[Laughing and barking]

Ooh-ooh...

[Squeals]

Wait!

[Shouts of joy]

Come on, dear!

[Laughing]

[Sounds of fright]

[Laughing]

Charley:
can'’t catch me!

Where'’s everybody going?

[Splash]

[Laughing]

Well, I'’m not
going to get in

That freezing
cold water.

Not when I have
my fully heated,

Self-inflating
porta-pool.

I'’m glad you decided
to come in and play
with me, mac.

[Laughing]
me, too.

I think
maybe jetta and I

Have been missing
a lot of fun around here.

[Howls]

[Howls]

Ah, the perfect
temperature.

Anyone want to come in
my pool with me?

Alley-oop!

It'’s heated.

I have lots of toys!

Hey, I can
feel the fish

Nibbling my toes.

Me, too!

Well, don'’t just sit there.

Jump!

Nibble!
Do something!

[Sighs]

Oh, I love
cooking outdoors.

Don'’t you, mark?

[Sighing] uh-huh.

How'’s your cooking
going, emily?

Great! Clifford'’s
doing pretty well, too.

Ruff!

Hey,
where'’s jetta!

Isn'’t she going
to eat with us?

She'’s cooking
inside tonight.

[Beep]

Ah, dinner'’s ready, mac.

One for you
and one for me.

[Whines]

[Sniffs]

Mac, come back and eat!

[Sniffs]

It does smell pretty
good out there,
doesn'’t it?

[Sniffs]

The fire
and the pine trees

And the hot dogs.

But we'’re having
a delicious dinner

Inside tonight, mac.

Come on, boy!

[Sniffs]

[Whines]

Wow! Look at
all those stars!

Charley: it'’s hard
to see them all
when we'’re at home,

But out here, it seems
like you can see forever.

I wish jetta
would come join us.

She'’s inside
watching a video.

Maybe she'’ll
come out later.

I hope so.

[Tv plays]

Wow, that'’s pretty amazing,
isn'’t it, mac?

I'’ve never seen a sky
like that in our backyard.

You know what else
was amazing, mac?

That waterfall.

I kind of wish I'’d
stood underneath it

Like vaz and charley did.

Maybe this camping thing
isn'’t so bad after all, huh?

[Whines]

Aw...what is it?

Do you want to go out
and be with everyone else?

Ruff!

Well...ok, boy.

If youreally want to,

I guess I could
go out with you.

[Plays]

Did you see that,
emily elizabeth?

That was
absolutely amazing!

It sure was.

Thank you for inviting me
camping, emily elizabeth.

You'’re welcome, jetta.

I...gotcha!

Hey, you'’re not
my hedgehog toy.

But you sure are
a great toy!

Hi, cleo!

Cleo, you found
my bunny squeak toy!

Uh...mrs. Diller

Just bought
this toy for me.

Oh...

Emily elizabeth:
sometimes it seems
like making up a story

Will make things turn out
the way we want them to.

Um...i don'’t really feel
like playing right now, guys.

But most of the time

It'’s a much better idea
to just tell the truth.

T-bone, wait.

This isyour bunny
squeak toy, t-bone.

But you said mrs. Diller
just bought it for you.

I made that up.

The toy
belongs to you.

Thanks, cleo!

Telling the truth
isn'’t always easy...

Woo-hoo!

But it is always
the right thing to do.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today is:

Be truthful.
