C'mon!
RAFIA: Quack, quack, quack, quack, Quaaaaack?
Quaaack!
Hey, wait up!
ALMA: Hey Frankie!
RAFIA: Whoa! That box is huge!
ANDRÉ: It must be for a spaceship.
FRANKIE FOUR FEET: [laughs] I wish!
But nah... we just got a new refrigerator at the Center
and this is the box it came in.
ALMA: Uh Frankie, can we have it?
Please?
FRANKIE FOUR FEET: Oh, sure thing, it's all yours!
ALMA: Sweet!! Thanks, Frankie!
KIDS: Byeee! Byeeee! Thanks Frankie!
FRANKIE FOUR FEET: [giggles] Have fun kids!
RAFIA: What are we even gonna to do with this box, Alma?
ALMA: Oh, this is way way wayyyy more than just a box.
We're going to turn this into something awesome and fun.
ALMA: This is gonna be our...
clubhouse!
ANDRÉ: Awesome!
RAFIA: Yeah!
ANDRÉ: Hey, since our clubhouse is made of cardboard...
Let's call ourselves the Cardboard Club...
ALMA: I love it!
And everyone can play in the Cardboard Clubhouse!
Right?
RAFIA: Absolutely! ANDRÉ: Oh yeah! Of course!
KIDS: [sigh]
KIDS: Hmm...
RAFIA: I hate to say it,
but our clubhouse is kinda plain.
ANDRÉ: Yeah, too cardboard-y.
ALMA: [gasp] Totally!
The first mission of the Cardboard Club
should be to decorate our clubhouse.
ANDRÉ: Oh!
I'll go home and get my art stuff!
ALMA: Cardboard Club on three...
ALMA: One...
ANDRÉ: Two...
RAFIA: Three...
KIDS: Cardboard Club!
ANDRÉ: Woo-hoo!
RAFIA: I spy with my little eye something that is...
blue.
ALMA: Hmmm...
the fence!
RAFIA: Right! Your turn.
ALMA: I spy with my little eye something that is...
EDDIE: Nice box!
KIDS: Waahhhhh!
EDDIE: [chuckle] Sorry.
Can I come in?
ALMA: Yeah!
Everyone can play with us.
EDDIE: Whoa! Check it out!
It's so roomy!
ANDRÉ:<span tts:fontStyle="italic"> Cardboard Club!
ANDRÉ: Hey, Eddie.
You joined our club.
EDDIE: Yup, I sure did.
ALMA: What did you bring André?
ANDRÉ: Oh, I brought everything!
ALMA: Okay, everybody, let's decorate!
Ready and...
KIDS: Caaaardboard Club!
EDDIE: Hey, how about a little b*at?
[clave b*at]
[♪♪♪]
KIDS: Whoo [giggle]
[♪♪♪]
EDDIE: Oops. ALMA: [giggle]
[♪♪♪]
ANDRÉ: Hmmm....
Whoa!
[♪♪♪]
[giggles]
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: This is fan-tastic!
KIDS: Yeah! So amazing!
BECKA: Oh! Sweet cardboard house!
Can I play too?
ALMA: Sure!
And you're just in time for our first Cardboard Club meeting.
Everyone inside!
KIDS: Alright! Yes! Woo-hoo!
Yeah!
[scoot efforts]
KIDS: Excuse Me! Thanks! Whoops! Whoops!
[giggles] Owie!
ALMA: Excuse me.
Huh, this isn't working. I'm out here.
But I should be in there.
KIDS: Yeah! Come in, Alma! Come in, Alma!
EDDIE: Try here.
ALMA: Okay, maybe I can fit in here...
ALMA: ...nope. KIDS: [efforts]
Uh... Maybe I'll try this way...
KIDS: [grunts]
ALMA: Nope.
ALMA: [sigh] There's gotta be a way we can all fit.
ANDRÉ: I'll make myself small and squeeze in.
[holds breath]
ANDRÉ: Okay, come on in.
ALMA: Waitamiunte, that's it!
ANDRÉ: What's it?
ALMA: When I want to fit all my toys in a box,
I have to turn them in different directions...
like a puzzle.
KIDS: That's a great idea! Okay!
Let's give it a try!
ALMA: Okay André, slide over there.
Tuck into that corner Rafia.
Okay, a little to your right Becka,
and Eddie, move to your left.
Great!
ALMA: And now I'll just... sliiiiide in.
There!
EVERYONE: [cheers] We did it! Yay!
ANDRÉ: Uh...
I can't see anyone.
EDDIE: Someone's elbow is in my ribs.
BECKA: There's a foot in my back.
RAFIA: Leg cramp. Leg cramp!
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
EDDIE: Umm, now there's a leg on my head!
ALMA: Mmm.
On the count of three everyone change positions...
to make more room, okay?
One... Two... Three!
[grunts]
ALMA: Oops, sorry, my bad.
JUNIOR: Mami, can I go play with Alma?
MAMI: Sure, I'll be on a bench just over there.
JUNIOR: Okay, Mami.
EDDIE: I can't really move.
ALMA: Oops, sorry.
JUNIOR: I don't know what you're doing,
but I want in.
Please!
ALMA: Ay.
The only way we could all fit in here...
is if we were the size of hamsters,
but I can't say 'no' to Junior so...
Suuure..?
JUNIOR: Yes!
EDDIE: How are we gonna all to fit?
ALMA: There's gotta be a way.
KIDS: Whew.
ALMA: Oh! When my mami packs her suitcase she rolls up
her clothes so she can get more in.
Let's try that.
RAFIA: Okay, roll into the box, everybody!
KIDS: [laughing]
JUNIOR: Alright!
ALMA: Incoming!
EVERYONE: [efforts]
ALMA: Welcome to the first meeting...
of the Cardboard Club...
Which is kinda squishy-squashy.
EVERYONE: [Uncomfortable cheers]
ANDRÉ: High-five, nope up high.
BECKA: I caaaan't reeaaaach! ANDRÉ: I'm here.
KIDS: [efforts] Ooooh!
EVERYONE: Whooooaaaa! Ahhh!
ALMA: Hmmm...
What if we take turns using the box?
No, then we wouldn't be together.
ANDRÉ: We could flatten the box and sit on top.
But then we wouldn't be inside the box.
RAFIA: So, we can't play together inside?
ALMA: No!
We made the Cardboard Clubhouse with one idea!
That we should all have a place to play.
KIDS: Yeah!
ALMA: We will not leave any friend out of this box!
KIDS: Nooo!
ALMA: We are the Cardboard Club, and in our club,
everyone can play...
together!
ANDRÉ: Cardboard Club! Cardboard Club!
KIDS: Cardboard Club! Cardboard Club!
ALMA: Now let's all get inside that box!
KIDS: [screaming] Yeaaah!
Let's do it! Woo-hoo!
C'mon!
ALMA: Huh.
Well, that didn't work.
ALMA: Huh? [gasp]
More kids are coming!
There has to be a way for everyone to play together.
I gotta think about this...
KIDS: Cardboard Club!
ALMA: Everyone was really excited about playing together
in the box...
KIDS: [efforts]
ANDRÉ: Uh... I can't see anyone.
EDDIE: Someone's elbow is in my ribs.
BECKA: There's a foot in my back.
ALMA: ...But we don't all fit.
ALMA: What do you do when you have a whole lotta friends
who want to play together, but only one cardboard box?
ALMA: I wonder what would happen if we got a giant box...
big enough for everyone?
KIDS: [cheer]
ALMA: Nah, there's no way to get one box that big...
But maybe we don't need just one box...
[gasp] Oh!!
I know what to do!
ALMA: Hey, Cardboard Club!
I have an idea so that everyone can play together...
but we're gonna need more boxes.
EVERYONE: [half-hearted cheers]
ANDRÉ: I can't feel my foot.
ALMA: A lot more boxes.
ALMA: [sigh]
Now we have a place where we can all play together.
Welcome to Cardboard City!
KIDS: [cheers]
ANDRÉ: [trumpets] I'm André, King of the Cardboard!
LUCAS: World's greatest cardboard garden!
RAFIA: Welcome aboard to the cardboard club express!
Stand clear of the closing doors please.
KIDS: Yes!
[laughter]
Yeah! Yeah! Woo-hoo!
[♪♪♪]
[Chacho barks] JUNIOR: Yeah!
Whoa!

ALMA: Cardboard Club City!
It's time for our cardboard club cheer!
Ready?!
EVERYONE: Cardboard club!
Cardboard Club! Cardboard Club!
JUNIOR: Alma... Look!
KIDS: [laughter]
ALMA: Oh, we're gonna need more boxes!
A lot more boxes.
KIDS: [cheer] [playful laughter]

ALMA: "Alma Clues In"
MAMI: [singsongy]<span tts:fontStyle="italic"> A can of peas, a bag of rice...
Oh, and don't forget the cinnamon spice...
ALMA: Ah-Hah!! MAMI: Ay!
ALMA: I knew it! The Giggler took the diamond dog collar!
MAMI: Something tells me you just finished
the new Carlotta Clues book?
ALMA: Yep! "The Case of the Missing Diamond!"
Carlotta Clues is my favorite detective!
MAMI: Time to go to the store.
Can you bring your wagon, por favor?
ALMA: Yep!
Waaait...
Where is my wagon?
I knew it was here this morning.
MAMI: Ooooh, this sounds like a case for Carlotta!
What would she do?
ALMA: "When you don't know what to do,
you've gotta look for a clue!"
MAMI: [mwuah]
ALMA: Detective Alma is on the case!
Cluuu-ue where are you..?
ALMA: Hey, Junior!
My wagon was here, but now it's gone.
Have you seen it?
JUNIOR: Last time I saw, it was beside the recycling bins.
ALMA: Thanks, Junior!
ALMA: Huh, no wagon.
But maaaybe there's a...
Clue!
Ah-hah! Wagon wheel tracks!
ALMA: Ah-hah again!
There it is! Maybe Eddie was using it.
The case of the missing wagon is solved.
MAMI: Alma!
ALMA: Coming Mami.
KIDS: Ooooh! Wow! Nice!
RAFIA: Thank you!
ANDRÉ: Hey Alma! RAFIA: Hey Alma!
ALMA: Hi Rafia! Hi André!
ANDRÉ: Hi Mrs. Rivera. RAFIA: Hi!
ANDRÉ: Rafia and I are going to the park...
RAFIA: We're gonna split our piragua...
ANDRÉ: Wanna come?
ALMA: Sure!
Right after I help my mom with the groceries.
Oh! Guess what!
I just finished the new Carlotta Clues book!
RAFIA: Really? I love those books.
ANDRÉ: Me too!
ALMA: Hey, wanna play Carlotta Clues later?
RAFIA: Yeah! ANDRÉ: Yes!
ALMA: Okay, I'll be Carlotta Clues.
RAFIA: I'll be The Giggler. ANDRÉ: I'll be The Giggler.
ANDRÉ: Please, please... Can I be The Giggler?
RAFIA: Okay André, then I'll be Brainy McBrains.
ANDRÉ: [giggles] I'm the best giggly giggler...
that ever giggled! [cackle]
KIDS: [laugh]
ALMA: Cool! Okay, meet you at the park.
RAFIA: Race ya there!
[giggle]
ANDRÉ: Oh, the race is on.
MAMI: Hi, be there in a minute.
Have fun with your friends,
I'll be over there with the Lazinski's.
ALMA: I'm gonna find Rafia and André,
like Carlotta would. With clues.
ALMA: Hmmm...
Dirt...
Grass...
An old button.
[gasp] I know those shoes!
ALMA: Hi, Safina.
Have you seen Rafia and André?
SAFINA: [giggle]
ALMA: Okay, thanks!
[kids laughter]
ALMA: A-ha!
There they are!
Rafia! André! Ready to play?
ANDRÉ: No!
I'm so mad I'd rather brush my teeth with sour milk...
than play with Rafia.
RAFIA: And I'd rather drink a fish smoothie...
than play with André.
ANDRÉ: Hmph!
That's fine with me!
ALMA: What's going on?
Uh, Rafia, what happened?
RAFIA: Well, we were gonna share the piragua.
But I forgot to bring an extra spoon.
So I raced over to Safina and got one.
But when I got back, our piragua cup was empty!
And André was gone.
He totally ate it!
ALMA: Whaaaat?
Why would he do that?
I'm gonna go talk to him.
ALMA: André? Did you eat the piragua?
ANDRÉ: Me? Eat it?
No way!
Rafia ate it while I was with the giant squid.
ALMA: Oh...
Wait whaaaat? A giant squid?
In the park?!
ANDRÉ: [giggle] Yeah.
Turns out it was a guy in a costume.
But I just had to draw him.
See!
ALMA: Oh, nice!
Looks very squiddy.
ANDRÉ: Thanks. Those are my best tentacles yet.
But Rafia definitely ate it!
When I got back to the picnic table,
Rafia was there, and the piragua cup was empty!
Empty!
ALMA: Ouff!
Rafia and André are so mad at each other.
I need to find out what really happened,
but how do I do that?
I gotta think about this...
ALMA: Hmm...
To solve "The Case of the Missing Wagon"
I started off with what I knew...
ALMA: I know it was here this morning.
JUNIOR: Last time I saw it was beside the recycling bins.
ALMA: Then, I needed to look for clues.
ALMA: Wagon wheel tracks!
ALMA: And the clues led me to my wagon.
Ah-hah again!
There it is.
Hmm...
A-ha! I know what to do!
ALMA: André, c'mon, we're gonna cr*ck this case!
ALMA: Hey Rafia!
RAPHIA: Hmph! ANDRÉ: Yeah! Hmph!
ALMA: Okay, let's start with what we know.
ANDRÉ: All right. RAFIA: Ho-kay.
ALMA: Great.
Now, Rafia, you said when you got back to the picnic table
with the extra spoon, the piragua was gone.
And so was André.
RAFIA: That's right 'cause... he ate it!
ANDRÉ: Did noootttt!
ALMA: André, you said after Rafia left,
you drew a picture of a squid.
And when you came back, Rafia was there...
but the piragua cup was empty.
ANDRÉ: Yep, because Rafia ate it!
RAFIA: No, I didn't!
ANDRÉ: Hmpf! RAFIA: Hmpf!
ALMA: I need more clues!
So, what else do we know for sure..?
Hmm...
Rafia and Andre had a piragua...
and they were going to share it.
Ah-ha!
What flavor was your piragua?
KIDS: Orange!
ALMA: Oh!
Whenever I eat a piragua,
my tongue turns the color of the flavored syrup.
So, whoever ate the orange piragua...
should have an orange tongue.
RAFIA: Okay André, let's see your tongue.
ANDRÉ: You first!
ALMA: [sigh] At the count of three,
you both stick out your tongues, 'kay?
One, two, three!
KIDS: Ahhhhh.
Huh?
ALMA: Nope, not orange.
So neither of you ate the piragua.
RAFIA: Huh?
So we both didn't eat it?
ANDRÉ: I don't get it.
RAFIA: Um, I'm sorry I blamed you.
ANDRÉ: And I'm sorry I blamed you.
But if we didn't eat it, who did?
ALMA: Was there anyone else that could've eaten the piragua?
ANDRÉ: I didn't see who could have done it,
because I was drawing my picture.
ALMA: That's it!
Maybe your picture has a clue.
ANDRÉ: [gasp]
ALMA: Ah-hah!
This Squid Guy was around when the piragua went missing.
I bet he saw something.
C'mon!
SQUID GUY: Have a squid-ily day!
ALMA: Excuse me? Mister, um, Squid Guy?
SQUID GUY: Oh, Squiddle-do, can I help you?
ANDRÉ: Did you see anybody around that picnic table
in the last hour?
SQUID GUY: Hm, come to think of it, yes I did.
KIDS: [gasp]
SQUID GUY: There was a little boy, with his dad,
oh, and a very barky dog.
Sounded like this,
[barks].
KIDS: Chacho!
ALMA: Thank you, Squid Guy!
SQUID GUY: Oh, my pleasure.
Squid-ily-doo!
[Chacho barks]
ALMA: Papi! Junior!
PAPI: Hi niños.
ALMA: Did you see anyone eat a piragua?
JUNIOR: Oh! Oh!
Me! I ate a piragua!
ANDRÉ: So it was youuuuuu!
You ate our orange piragua!
JUNIOR: Orange?
No, it was blueberry. See?
Aaahhh...
ALMA: Yep! Blueberry blue.
Junior didn't eat your orange piragua.
PAPI: And I had a red one.
Cherry.
ALMA: Yup, cherry red.
Gracias, Papi.
Thanks, Junior.
PAPI: De nada!
JUNIOR: Sure Alma!
[Chacho barking]
ALMA: [sigh] This mystery is a hard case to cr*ck.
ANDRÉ: Yeah, and we don't have any more people
or squids to talk to.
RAFIA: What would Carlotta Clues do if she were stumped?
ALMA: Hmm...
She'd return where the mystery started...
to see if she missed any clues.
C'mon!
ANDRÉ: I found it!
ALMA: [gasp] Another clue?
ANDRÉ: No. My red marker.
RAFIA: Ugh. It's too hot to look for any more clues.
RAFIA: Ew, why am I so sticky?
ALMA: Sticky?
Waitaminute!
Sometimes when I eat a piragua, my hands get all sticky.
This could be another clue!
Sticky orange syrup...
And an orange puddle on the table...
Hmm...
ALMA: Ah-hah, ants!!
That's your cup.
And those ants are the only ones eating your piragua!
ALMA: Ah-hah again!
I've got it!
It's been so hot, the sun must've melted the piragua.
And it leaked through this hole...
RAFIA: Oh! And then the ants got it.
ANDRÉ: Lucky ants.
ALMA: "The Case of the Missing Piragua" is closed!
KIDS: Wha-hoo! Yeah!
RAFIA: Now we can play Carlotta Clues!
ALMA: Yeah! I just need my...
ALMA: [gasp] Heeeyyyy... who took my magnifying glass?
ANDRÉ: [cackle giggle]
[cackle giggle]
RAFIA: That sounds like...
RAFIA: The Giggler! ALMA: The Giggler!
ALMA: Brainy McBrains!
We have another mystery to solve...
"The Case of the Missing Magnifying Glass."
RAFIA: My super speedy brain is at your service, Alma!
Oh, I mean, Carlotta Clues!
ANDRÉ: [cackle]
KIDS: [giggle]
SQUID GUY: Mmm, squid-il-licious!

KIDS: Whew.
ALMA: Oh! When my mami packs her suitcase she rolls up
her clothes so she can get more in.
Let's try that.
RAFIA: Okay, roll into the box, everybody!
KIDS: [laughing]
JUNIOR: Alright!
ALMA: Incoming!
EVERYONE: [efforts]
ALMA: Welcome to the first meeting...
of the Cardboard Club...
Which is kinda squishy-squashy.
EVERYONE: [Uncomfortable cheers]
ANDRÉ: High-five, nope up high.
BECKA: I caaaan't reeaaaach! ANDRÉ: I'm here.
KIDS: [efforts] Ooooh!
EVERYONE: Whooooaaaa! Ahhh!
ALMA: Hmmm...
What if we take turns using the box?
No, then we wouldn't be together.
ANDRÉ: We could flatten the box and sit on top.
But then we wouldn't be inside the box.
RAFIA: So, we can't play together inside?
ALMA: No!
We made the Cardboard Clubhouse with one idea!
That we should all have a place to play.
KIDS: Yeah!
ALMA: We will not leave any friend out of this box!
KIDS: Nooo!
ALMA: We are the Cardboard Club, and in our club,
everyone can play...
together!
ANDRÉ: Cardboard Club! Cardboard Club!
KIDS: Cardboard Club! Cardboard Club!
ALMA: Now let's all get inside that box!
KIDS: [screaming] Yeaaah!
Let's do it! Woo-hoo!
C'mon!
ALMA: Huh.
Well, that didn't work.
ALMA: Huh? [gasp]
More kids are coming!
There has to be a way for everyone to play together.
I gotta think about this...
KIDS: Cardboard Club!
ALMA: Everyone was really excited about playing together
in the box...
KIDS: [efforts]
ANDRÉ: Uh... I can't see anyone.
EDDIE: Someone's elbow is in my ribs.
BECKA: There's a foot in my back.
ALMA: ...But we don't all fit.
ALMA: What do you do when you have a whole lotta friends
who want to play together, but only one cardboard box?
ALMA: I wonder what would happen if we got a giant box...
big enough for everyone?
KIDS: [cheer]
ALMA: Nah, there's no way to get one box that big...
But maybe we don't need just one box...
[gasp] Oh!!
I know what to do!
ALMA: Hey, Cardboard Club!
I have an idea so that everyone can play together...
but we're gonna need more boxes.
EVERYONE: [half-hearted cheers]
ANDRÉ: I can't feel my foot.
ALMA: A lot more boxes.
ALMA: [sigh]
Now we have a place where we can all play together.
Welcome to Cardboard City!
KIDS: [cheers]
ANDRÉ: [trumpets] I'm André, King of the Cardboard!
LUCAS: World's greatest cardboard garden!
RAFIA: Welcome aboard to the cardboard club express!
Stand clear of the closing doors please.
KIDS: Yes!
[laughter]
Yeah! Yeah! Woo-hoo!
[♪♪♪]
[Chacho barks] JUNIOR: Yeah!
Whoa!

ALMA: Cardboard Club City!
It's time for our cardboard club cheer!
Ready?!
EVERYONE: Cardboard club!
Cardboard Club! Cardboard Club!
JUNIOR: Alma... Look!

ALMA: Oh, we're gonna need more boxes!
A lot more boxes.
KIDS: [cheer] [playful laughter]

ALMA: "Alma Clues In"
MAMI: [singsongy]<span tts:fontStyle="italic"> A can of peas, a bag of rice...
Oh, and don't forget the cinnamon spice...
ALMA: Ah-Hah!! MAMI: Ay!
ALMA: I knew it! The Giggler took the diamond dog collar!
MAMI: Something tells me you just finished
the new Carlotta Clues book?
ALMA: Yep! "The Case of the Missing Diamond!"
Carlotta Clues is my favorite detective!
MAMI: Time to go to the store.
Can you bring your wagon, por favor?
ALMA: Yep!
Waaait...
Where is my wagon?
I knew it was here this morning.
MAMI: Ooooh, this sounds like a case for Carlotta!
What would she do?
ALMA: "When you don't know what to do,
you've gotta look for a clue!"
MAMI: [mwuah]
ALMA: Detective Alma is on the case!
Cluuu-ue where are you..?
ALMA: Hey, Junior!
My wagon was here, but now it's gone.
Have you seen it?
JUNIOR: Last time I saw, it was beside the recycling bins.
ALMA: Thanks, Junior!
ALMA: Huh, no wagon.
But maaaybe there's a...
Clue!
Ah-hah! Wagon wheel tracks!
ALMA: Ah-hah again!
There it is! Maybe Eddie was using it.
The case of the missing wagon is solved.
MAMI: Alma!
ALMA: Coming Mami.
KIDS: Ooooh! Wow! Nice!
RAFIA: Thank you!
ANDRÉ: Hey Alma! RAFIA: Hey Alma!
ALMA: Hi Rafia! Hi André!
ANDRÉ: Hi Mrs. Rivera. RAFIA: Hi!
ANDRÉ: Rafia and I are going to the park...
RAFIA: We're gonna split our piragua...
ANDRÉ: Wanna come?
ALMA: Sure!
Right after I help my mom with the groceries.
Oh! Guess what!
I just finished the new Carlotta Clues book!
RAFIA: Really? I love those books.
ANDRÉ: Me too!
ALMA: Hey, wanna play Carlotta Clues later?
RAFIA: Yeah! ANDRÉ: Yes!
ALMA: Okay, I'll be Carlotta Clues.
RAFIA: I'll be The Giggler. ANDRÉ: I'll be The Giggler.
ANDRÉ: Please, please... Can I be The Giggler?
RAFIA: Okay André, then I'll be Brainy McBrains.
ANDRÉ: [giggles] I'm the best giggly giggler...
that ever giggled! [cackle]
KIDS: [laugh]
ALMA: Cool! Okay, meet you at the park.
RAFIA: Race ya there!
[giggle]
ANDRÉ: Oh, the race is on.
MAMI: Hi, be there in a minute.
Have fun with your friends,
I'll be over there with the Lazinski's.
ALMA: I'm gonna find Rafia and André,
like Carlotta would. With clues.
ALMA: Hmmm...
Dirt...
Grass...
An old button.
[gasp] I know those shoes!
ALMA: Hi, Safina.
Have you seen Rafia and André?
SAFINA: [giggle]
ALMA: Okay, thanks!
[kids laughter]
ALMA: A-ha!
There they are!
Rafia! André! Ready to play?
ANDRÉ: No!
I'm so mad I'd rather brush my teeth with sour milk...
than play with Rafia.
RAFIA: And I'd rather drink a fish smoothie...
than play with André.
ANDRÉ: Hmph!
That's fine with me!
ALMA: What's going on?
Uh, Rafia, what happened?
RAFIA: Well, we were gonna share the piragua.
But I forgot to bring an extra spoon.
So I raced over to Safina and got one.
But when I got back, our piragua cup was empty!
And André was gone.
He totally ate it!
ALMA: Whaaaat?
Why would he do that?
I'm gonna go talk to him.
ALMA: André? Did you eat the piragua?
ANDRÉ: Me? Eat it?
No way!
Rafia ate it while I was with the giant squid.
ALMA: Oh...
Wait whaaaat? A giant squid?
In the park?!
ANDRÉ: [giggle] Yeah.
Turns out it was a guy in a costume.
But I just had to draw him.
See!
ALMA: Oh, nice!
Looks very squiddy.
ANDRÉ: Thanks. Those are my best tentacles yet.
But Rafia definitely ate it!
When I got back to the picnic table,
Rafia was there, and the piragua cup was empty!
Empty!
ALMA: Ouff!
Rafia and André are so mad at each other.
I need to find out what really happened,
but how do I do that?
I gotta think about this...
ALMA: Hmm...
To solve "The Case of the Missing Wagon"
I started off with what I knew...
ALMA: I know it was here this morning.
JUNIOR: Last time I saw it was beside the recycling bins.
ALMA: Then, I needed to look for clues.
ALMA: Wagon wheel tracks!
ALMA: And the clues led me to my wagon.
Ah-hah again!
There it is.
Hmm...
A-ha! I know what to do!
ALMA: André, c'mon, we're gonna cr*ck this case!
ALMA: Hey Rafia!
RAPHIA: Hmph! ANDRÉ: Yeah! Hmph!
ALMA: Okay, let's start with what we know.
ANDRÉ: All right. RAFIA: Ho-kay.
ALMA: Great.
Now, Rafia, you said when you got back to the picnic table
with the extra spoon, the piragua was gone.
And so was André.
RAFIA: That's right 'cause... he ate it!
ANDRÉ: Did noootttt!
ALMA: André, you said after Rafia left,
you drew a picture of a squid.
And when you came back, Rafia was there...
but the piragua cup was empty.
ANDRÉ: Yep, because Rafia ate it!
RAFIA: No, I didn't!
ANDRÉ: Hmpf! RAFIA: Hmpf!
ALMA: I need more clues!
So, what else do we know for sure..?
Hmm...
Rafia and Andre had a piragua...
and they were going to share it.
Ah-ha!
What flavor was your piragua?
KIDS: Orange!
ALMA: Oh!
Whenever I eat a piragua,
my tongue turns the color of the flavored syrup.
So, whoever ate the orange piragua...
should have an orange tongue.
RAFIA: Okay André, let's see your tongue.
ANDRÉ: You first!
ALMA: [sigh] At the count of three,
you both stick out your tongues, 'kay?
One, two, three!
KIDS: Ahhhhh.
Huh?
ALMA: Nope, not orange.
So neither of you ate the piragua.
RAFIA: Huh?
So we both didn't eat it?
ANDRÉ: I don't get it.
RAFIA: Um, I'm sorry I blamed you.
ANDRÉ: And I'm sorry I blamed you.
But if we didn't eat it, who did?
ALMA: Was there anyone else that could've eaten the piragua?
ANDRÉ: I didn't see who could have done it,
because I was drawing my picture.
ALMA: That's it!
Maybe your picture has a clue.
ANDRÉ: [gasp]
ALMA: Ah-hah!
This Squid Guy was around when the piragua went missing.
I bet he saw something.
C'mon!
SQUID GUY: Have a squid-ily day!
ALMA: Excuse me? Mister, um, Squid Guy?
SQUID GUY: Oh, Squiddle-do, can I help you?
ANDRÉ: Did you see anybody around that picnic table
in the last hour?
SQUID GUY: Hm, come to think of it, yes I did.
KIDS: [gasp]
SQUID GUY: There was a little boy, with his dad,
oh, and a very barky dog.
Sounded like this,
[barks].
KIDS: Chacho!
ALMA: Thank you, Squid Guy!
SQUID GUY: Oh, my pleasure.
Squid-ily-doo!
[Chacho barks]
ALMA: Papi! Junior!
PAPI: Hi niños.
ALMA: Did you see anyone eat a piragua?
JUNIOR: Oh! Oh!
Me! I ate a piragua!
ANDRÉ: So it was youuuuuu!
You ate our orange piragua!
JUNIOR: Orange?
No, it was blueberry. See?
Aaahhh...
ALMA: Yep! Blueberry blue.
Junior didn't eat your orange piragua.
PAPI: And I had a red one.
Cherry.
ALMA: Yup, cherry red.
Gracias, Papi.
Thanks, Junior.
PAPI: De nada!
JUNIOR: Sure Alma!
[Chacho barking]
ALMA: [sigh] This mystery is a hard case to cr*ck.
ANDRÉ: Yeah, and we don't have any more people
or squids to talk to.
RAFIA: What would Carlotta Clues do if she were stumped?
ALMA: Hmm...
She'd return where the mystery started...
to see if she missed any clues.
C'mon!
ANDRÉ: I found it!
ALMA: [gasp] Another clue?
ANDRÉ: No. My red marker.
RAFIA: Ugh. It's too hot to look for any more clues.
RAFIA: Ew, why am I so sticky?
ALMA: Sticky?
Waitaminute!
Sometimes when I eat a piragua, my hands get all sticky.
This could be another clue!
Sticky orange syrup...
And an orange puddle on the table...
Hmm...
ALMA: Ah-hah, ants!!
That's your cup.
And those ants are the only ones eating your piragua!
ALMA: Ah-hah again!
I've got it!
It's been so hot, the sun must've melted the piragua.
And it leaked through this hole...
RAFIA: Oh! And then the ants got it.
ANDRÉ: Lucky ants.
ALMA: "The Case of the Missing Piragua" is closed!
KIDS: Wha-hoo! Yeah!
RAFIA: Now we can play Carlotta Clues!
ALMA: Yeah! I just need my...
ALMA: [gasp] Heeeyyyy... who took my magnifying glass?
ANDRÉ: [cackle giggle]
[cackle giggle]
RAFIA: That sounds like...
RAFIA: The Giggler! ALMA: The Giggler!
ALMA: Brainy McBrains!
We have another mystery to solve...
"The Case of the Missing Magnifying Glass."
RAFIA: My super speedy brain is at your service, Alma!
Oh, I mean, Carlotta Clues!
ANDRÉ: [cackle]
KIDS: [giggle]
SQUID GUY: Mmm, squid-il-licious!
