Let's hear it for Mira

Royal Detective

Mira, Mira, Mira

Mira, Mira, Mira

Hey!

Everybody knows I love

A mystery, big or small

I look close and then

I help my friends

There's nothing

She can't solve

Finding clues is what I do

So the Queen appointed you

Now my job's

A dream come true

I'm Mira

Royal Detective

Let's hear it for Mira

Royal Detective

Mira, Mira, Mira

Mira, Mira, Mira

Hey!

We'll take in the world

With a whole new perspective

Our small and mighty hero

We'll find the answers

Let's go

Let's hear it for Mira

Royal Detective

MIRA: The Great

Kathak Mystery!

(ALL VOCALIZING BEATS)

I'm so excited

for the Kathak dance show today!

Me, too, Mira! Kathak is

one of my favorite kinds of dance.

I'm nervous. I want to make sure

I get the tatkar just right.

Those steps are tricky!

Sandeep, if you get lost,

follow our tatkar.

Yeah, we know all the steps.

(VOCALIZING BEATS)

Wow, Mikku and Chikku!

You guys are really good!

Thanks! You know what's even better?

Yep, and they're right over here!

Check out these ghunghroos!

I bet I can shake 'em harder than you can.

No way!

BOTH: Shake-off!

-(GHUNGHROOS JINGLING)

-Guys! Guys!

Hold on, people!

It's the battle of the bells!

Watch out.

You don't want to slip on these.

-Oh, no!

-Where did those come from?

They're the little metal ba*ls

from inside the ghunghroos.

That's what gives the bells their sound.

They must have fallen out.

You broke the ghunghroos?

You broke the ghunghroos.

No, no! It happens all the time

when you dance with ghunghroos.

All you have to do is put the ba*ls

back in and close them up.

-Like this.

-(CLICKS)

See? All good now.

Sorry I'm late. What did I miss? Hey!

What are you two doing with my ghunghroos?

Meena! We were just Um

Making sure they work.

And guess what?

-They do!

-Thank you.

Now. I need to get these on fast.

Everyone, may I have your attention?

KIDS: Namaste, Shilpa Ji.

I'd like to introduce you all

to someone very special.

KIDS: (GASPING) Guru Nakul!

What a welcome! I'm so honored to be here.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Who's he?

Only the best Kathak dancer ever!

I've invited Guru Nakul here

to guide us in class,

and as a special treat

he's going to perform with all of you

in today's show.

-Wow! With us?

-Amazing!

Guru Nakul, my students have

all been learning Kathak

for the past three years.

Wow! I commend your dedication to Kathak.

Now, let's see how fabulous you are!

Impress me!

Here we go.

(TABLA PLAYING)

Tatkar first.

(VOCALIZING BEATS)

Sharper.

(VOCALIZING BEATS)

Watch your mudras, Mira.

(VOCALIZING BEATS)

Last one to the playground's

a rusty screw!

Guess that's gonna be you, Manjeet!

-(GOATS BLEATING)

-Watch out!

-Look out!

-(HONKING HORNS)

Our horns aren't loud enough!

-(HORNS HONKING)

-Excuse me, Guru Nakul.

C'mon, little friends! This way!

Whew. That was a close one!

-Thanks, Mira!

-Sure, Ranjeet and Manjeet.

Mira! I saw everything.

I'm so glad you were here.

I was just testing out a new invention

I made for Pinky, this goat whistle.

That's so nice of you, Neel.

Yeah. Except it's supposed

to call the goats over to me

and instead they ran away from me.

(BLOWS WHISTLE)

(GOATS BLEATING)

See? I think it needs some work.

You'll figure it out.

I had better get back to rehearsal.

Bye, Mira.

-(TABLA PLAYING)

-Let's finish then.

Big smiles.

(GURU VOCALIZING BEATS)

Great job, everyone!

Why don't you all take a break

and help yourselves to a snack?

BOTH: Snacks! Here we come!

But before you go, please place

your ghunghroos in the basket.

I will see you all at the show!

KIDS: Namaste, Guru Nakul.

Thanks, Auntie!

Snacks just taste better

after a good dance session.

You said it, Meena.

Uh, what happened to our ghunghroos?

The basket is gone!

-What?

-No!

-My ghunghroos!

-Don't worry, everyone.

We'll find them. We're on the case!

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

First, let's look around the stage.

Maybe the basket got moved.

-ALL: Got it!

-Okay!

I don't see the basket, Mira.

GIRLS: Nothing here.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Or here.

-(WHISTLING)

-(GOATS BLEATING)

Goats, you're going the wrong way again!

Neel, we're missing our Kathak ghunghroos.

Have you seen them?

No, but I can help you look for them.

Mira, what are we going to do?

We still have to go to the boutique

to get our jewelry for the show.

You guys go get it. We'll stay and look

-for the ghunghroos.

-Okay, bye.

-See you.

-Good luck!

What now, Mira?

Well, we know that the bells make

a jingling sound.

Maybe if we close our eyes

and listen really closely,

we can hear them.

(JINGLING)

I think I hear them.

But I'm not sure where.

If only there was a way to hear

far away sounds more closely.

Mira, I have an idea

for an invention that will help.

But I'll need a few things

to make it work.

Go for it, Neel!

Excuse me, Auntie,

may I borrow your parasol

-for an invention?

-Of course, Your Highness.

Auntie, may I have one of those shells?

Sure, Prince Neel.

Thank you! Now I need one more thing.

This should work.

Say hello to my latest invention,

the Super Sonic Ear Extender.

Wow. What does it do?

Put this end up to your ear

and take a listen.

It'll help you hear sounds

that are far away. Try it out!

-What do you hear?

-(BIRDS CHIRPING)

I hear a bird

-(BLEATING)

-a herd of goats

-(JINGLING)

-and bells!

And it sounds like

they're in the marketplace, let's go!

MIKKU: The ghunghroos could be anywhere!

CHIKKU: How are we gonna find them?

Maybe the extender can lead us.

Neel, can you take another listen

while I look for more clues?

Sure thing.

-(JINGLING)

-Oh, I hear the ghunghroos!

That way!

-Where could they be?

-(JINGLING)

Actually, I hear them over there.

(JINGLING)

Or is it that way?

I I think I lost them.

-You think?

-I'm dizzy.

But wait! I definitely hear

the sound of bells,

-(JINGLING)

-and it's coming right at us.

-It's Pari!

-(BLEATS)

Pari has the ghunghroos!

MIRA: Actually, Pari just has

regular bells around her collar.

Oops. Wrong bells.

Wait a second.

There's something in those bike tracks.

They look like the metal ba*ls

from inside our ghunghroos.

-MIKKU AND CHIKKU: What?

-They must have fallen out.

That means the ghunghroos

were here at some point.

I knew I heard them.

But how did they end up

in the marketplace?

Good question. Let's keep looking.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: And listening!

You got it!

-(MEN LAUGHING)

-I hear some uncles laughing,

-(CLUCKING)

-a chicken clucking

-(JINGLING)

-and more bells!

It looks like

you're facing the riverfront.

Let's head there.

Everybody, keep your ears open!

-(JINGLING)

-I hear bells! That way.

MIKKU: Wait a second!

Wait a second! I hear a bell.

CHIKKU: Yeah, on Deputy Oosha!

Mikku, Chikku, that's her cowbell.

(MOOS)

Yes, but I definitely heard

the ghunghroos around here.

Where did they go?

Maybe Deputy Oosha can help us.

Deputy, have you seen any ghunghroos?

-(MOOS AFFIRMATIVELY)

-Ooh!

She wants to show us something!

We'll follow the Deputy anywhere.

Deputy Oosha, that's just a bike pedal.

But look, right next to it

there are more metal ba*ls

from our ghunghroos.

Like I said.

It's a break in the case, Deputy!

Thanks, Deputy Oosha.

(MOOS)

Hi, guys. We just left the boutique.

Did you find our ghunghroos?

-Not yet.

-Not yet?

But the show's starting soon!

Don't worry, Meena.

Mira's the royal detective!

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: She's got this!

You can do this, Mira!

-I sure hope so.

-Good luck!

Neel, can you try to listen

-for the ghunghroos again?

-Sure!

I hear

-(WOMEN CHATTERING)

-aunties chatting,

a tabla playing,

-(JINGLING)

-and a ghunghroo bell!

-CHIKKU: Yes!

-MIKKU: Now we're talkin'!

It's coming from the Town Square!

-Town Square!

-MIKKU: Let's go!

I hear the bell sound over here.

MIRA: The banyan tree.

It's getting louder and louder!

And it's

-(JINGLING)

-Chikku.

Mira, look what I found.

Chikku! That's a bike gear.

Not a ghunghroo.

It sure sounds like one, though.

You're right, Chikku. It does!

Chikku, may I see

that bike gear for a second?

CHIKKU: Sure.

It was making that sound because it had

a bell from one of the ghunghroos

stuck inside of it.

I think I know where the ghunghroos are.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: You do?

Yes. Let's think this through.

At each place we found metal ba*ls

and a bell from the ghunghroos,

we also found a bike pedal,

bike tracks, and a bike gear.

All things that are part of a bike!

And who knows bikes better than anyone?

-Pari?

-Me?

MIRA: No, Ranjeet and Manjeet!

We need to ask them some questions.

They're probably at the bike shop.

Chalo, chalo! Let's go!

There, all set. Pinky!

Wow, guys! Those bells are really loud!

That's right! When your bike horn

isn't loud enough

to get past a group of goats

These brand new bike bells

will do the trick!

BOTH: The ghunghroos!

No, they're our new bike bells.

Actually, those bells are our ghunghroos.

We need them for our Kathak

dance performance.

-Oh, no!

-We had no idea.

We saw them in the Garden Square

and didn't think they belonged to anyone.

We were just looking for a way

to make people's bikes safer.

BOTH: We're really sorry.

It's okay. We know

you didn't mean to take them.

Manjeet, Ranjeet,

I think I might have another way

to keep the bikers of Jalpur safe.

-May I?

-BOTH: Of course, Prince Neel.

I wonder if

-(YELPS)

-Excuse me, Pinky.

May I borrow this for a second?

Say hello to your new

and improved bike horn!

-(HORN BLARING)

-It works!

Yeah, a little too well!

RANJEET AND MANJEET:

Prince Neel, you're a genius!

Pinky, you missed out on our bike bells,

but we've got something even better.

BOTH: A brand new bike horn!

Ooh! My goats are going to love this!

Looks like that's case closed!

But the show must go on!

Everyone ready?

-Yes!

-Absolutely.

-So ready!

-MIKKU AND CHIKKU: We got this!

Let's give a warm welcome

to Guru Nakul

and Jalpur's very own Kathak dancers!

(VOCALIZING BEATS)

(CONTINUES VOCALIZING BEATS)

(CONTINUES VOCALIZING BEATS)

Chikku, I have to say that was

some excellent shaking.

Well, Mikku, you weren't so bad yourself.

Thank you, Guru Nakul,

for dancing with us!

Thank you, Mira. Thank you everyone!

Jalpur truly is a special place.

I'd love to spin back into town anytime!

MIRA: The Mystery of the Missing Parts.

There. I think that should do it.

Give it a try, Mira.

Thanks so much for fixing my bike,

Ranjeet and Manjeet.

Something's wrong.

I can't steer straight! Whoa!

BOTH: Careful!

Mikku, Chikku, look out!

(YELPS) That bike is out to get us!

Not cool, bike, not cool.

Mira, I think we're going to need

a few hours

to figure out what's wrong with your bike.

Leave it here with us.

We'll have it fixed up

like it's brand new!

Okay, thanks. I'll see you later.

Bye, Manjeet and Ranjeet!

Goodbye, bike.

I know we've had our differences.

(GIGGLES) Chikku,

it's only for a few hours.

And how will we get around?

We'll go for a walk.

(BLOWS KISS)

Mira! Mira!

-Hi, Pinky! Hi Pari!

-(BLEATS)

You have to come meet

my cousin Manya.

Hi, Manya! I'm Mira

and this is Mikku and Chikku.

-Hi!

-Manya is staying with me for a while.

She is so clever.

-What are you doing?

-It looks serious!

I'm building a new goat gate for Pari.

Pari broke the old one

when I was training her last week.

-Didn't ya, ya silly goose?

-(BLEATS)

That piece of wood

you're using looks like a shutter.

It is a shutter!

Pinky was going to throw it away,

but I told her I could use

the shutter to make a gate.

It's called upcycling.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Upcycling?

Yeah, it means I use things

that people were going to throw out

in new ways.

What a great idea, Manya!

Thanks, Mira. It is a great idea.

Upcycling is good for everybody!

I'm going to start upcycling, too!

Me too! I'm upcycling

all my laddoos from now on.

-(BLEATS)

-Almost finished.

Pinky, may I have my screwdriver?

Absolutely, Manya.

I painted goats on all of Manya's tools

so she can find them more easily.

Everything is better with goats!

-(BLEATS)

-Okay. Finished.

(BLEATS EXCITEDLY)

(GASPS) Pari loves it!

Thank you so much!

Can you build us a house?

-And a boat?

-And a snack cart?

And a palace?

Manya, I can't wait to see

what you build next!

I'm almost done building my new bike!

Wow! A bike?

I'm going to take Manya

to the riverfront so we can test it out!

Manya, I'll be right back.

I just need to grab my helmet,

get some food for Pari,

drink some water, wash my hands.

I could really go

for some chai right now.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Chai time!

(GIGGLES) Sounds good!

Let's go to the chai shop, guys.

See you later!

-Bye!

-(BLEATS)

Here's the chai cart, but where's Kamala?

There she is.

Oh, where is it, where is it?

-Is it here?

-Hi, Kamala.

We'll have two mongoose-sized chais.

-Is it here?

-Please and thank you!

Oh, no! It's not here, either.

-What's not here?

-The extra tire

for the chai cart. It's usually back here.

We have a flat tire,

and I'm supposed to be

helping my parents sell chai!

Without the extra tire,

we can't push the chai cart around.

Kamala, don't worry.

We'll help you find the tire.

We're on the case.

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, the last time you saw

the tire was right here,

where this outline is in the dust?

Yes. But that was a while ago.

We haven't had a flat tire

in a really long time.

Everything is very dusty.

We don't come back here often.

My parents put a lot of stuff

they don't use here.

-Mira!

-Is Mira here?

Hi, Sandeep. Hi, Arvind.

Mira, I have a problem!

So do I!

Whoa! Whoa! Slow down.

One at a time, people.

One at a time.

-My lantern is missing.

-My fishing basket is missing.

BOTH: You have to help me!

Is that what we sound like?

BOTH: No. Of course not!

Sandeep, what happened?

My lantern is missing, Mira.

I need it to help my uncle

deliver tiffins tonight.

Okay, and Arvind,

what do you need help with?

I can't find my fishing basket.

I need it to go fishing with my Dad.

Okay. Guys, don't worry.

I'll help you find your missing things.

Uh, Mira. I thought you were helping me.

I am, Kamala. I'm going to help everyone

find their things.

Starting with your extra tire.

Maybe the tire fell behind these jugs.

SANDEEP AND ARVIND: Mira, We got this!

Hey Mikku, that's our line.

Everyone wants to be a mongoose

these days.

Thanks, guys. What's this?

-BOTH: What is it?

-Not my tire.

See how you can bend it

into different shapes?

It's a pipe cleaner.

Now it's an anklet!

And it's your color, Chikku!

But why is there a pipe cleaner back here?

Good question.

It's the only thing around here

that isn't covered in dust.

That means someone might have

dropped it here recently.

Uh, Mira, can I show you

where my lantern was

so you can help me find it?

Sandeep, Mira is going to find

my tire first.

Yeah, but it's just

I have to help my uncle deliver

tiffins soon.

How about this Kamala?

I'll take a quick look at the spot

where Sandeep's lantern went missing

so he can do his deliveries.

-Then I'll come back.

-Okay, Mira.

Great! Let's go.

I'll come with you. I love watching

the Royal Detective in action!

Just follow our lead, Arvind.

We're expert helpers.

Being Mira's helper is

the best job in the world!

This is where it happened, Mira.

The scene of the crime!

Dun-dun-dun!

So your extra lantern was back here?

Yep. It looks just like this lantern

that broke this morning.

That's why I went to get my extra one.

Hmm.

Everything is dusty back here, too.

Well, this is where we put

all the stuff we don't use.

Let me take a closer look.

It looks like there's a shape

of a lantern in the dust.

Is this where you kept

-the extra lantern?

-Yes.

Guys, I need your help again.

Let's move some of these things

so we can see if the lantern

has fallen back there.

We're the Royal detective's helpers.

This is amazing!

We make a great team, Arvind!

(CLEARS THROAT) Mira already has

all the help she needs.

Yup, check out this mongoose muscle.

(BOTH GRUNT)

Whoops.

I guess we'll let you guys help,

for today.

You definitely have some mongoose muscle.

Guys, look! Another pipe cleaner.

Ta-da! Hey, Mikku!

Check me out.

I have glasses, just like you!

Wow, it's like looking in a mirror!

This pipe cleaner looks just like the one

we found by the chai cart.

And it's also the only thing around here

that isn't covered in dust, which means

BOTH: It's a clue!

-They're catching on fast.

-A little too fast.

I wonder if Kamala's

missing tire is connected

to your missing lantern, Sandeep.

Do you think

the same person took both things?

-Maybe.

-(BELL DINGING)

I have to go, Mira.

Tiffins to deliver

and townspeople to feed.

Don't worry, Sandeep.

Go help your uncle deliver tiffins.

I'll find your lantern

before it gets dark.

Thank you, Mira.

Uh, Mira. I'm supposed

to go fishing with my dad soon.

Can I quickly show you

where my basket went missing?

Sure, Arvind.

I'll come back here after you show me.

My fishing basket was right here.

I see the outline

of your basket in this dust.

It's pretty dusty back here,

just like at Kamala's and Sandeep's.

Arvind, we found your basket!

No, that one has a big hole in it.

That's why I went to get my extra one.

Let's take a look around.

Arvind! Are you coming?

Oh, no! That's my dad.

I have to help him get the boat ready.

Don't worry, Arvind. I'll find that basket

before it's time to go fishing.

Thanks, Mira!

Whoa!

What's that?

Another pipe cleaner.

And it's wrapped around something.

It's a tool of some sort.

Huh. And there's no dust on it.

What does that mean?

It means that someone must have

used it pretty recently,

and just dropped it.

Wait a second. It has goats painted on it!

We saw a tool like this before.

Let's think this through.

A tire, a lantern,

and a fishing basket all went missing,

in three different places.

In each place, we found a pipe cleaner.

And one of the pipe cleaners

was wrapped around a tool

with goats painted on it.

There's only one person

who had tools like that.

Manya!

You think Manya knows

what happened to the missing things?

We need to go talk to her.

Chalo, chalo, let's go.

Hi, Manya! Hi, Pinky!

-Hi, Mira!

-Manya, we found

this tool. Is it yours?

It is! I was wondering

where it went. Thank you!

Mira, check out Manya's new bike.

-Isn't it incredible?

-Wow!

Manya, did you make that bike yourself?

Yes, I did!

Whoa, you built this whole bike?

How'd you do it?

It looks like you used

a chai cart tire, a lantern,

and a fishing basket.

That's right! I used things

that people threw away around town.

Manya, those things were

not being thrown away.

They belong to our friends.

Oh, no! In my town, we always leave things

that we aren't using outside

so other people can take them.

But I guess things are different

here in Jalpur.

Can you help me return everything, Mira?

Absolutely. Come on, I'll show you

where everyone is.

Just need to take

this lantern off my bike.

(GRUNTS)

Kamala, Sandeep,

Arvind, I'm really sorry.

I didn't realize these things were yours.

-It's okay.

-Thanks, Manya!

Thanks for returning it.

Mikku and Chikku, these are for you.

Thank you, Manya!

The case of the missing parts

-ARVIND, SANDEEP AND KAMALA: is closed!

-Nice job!

The kids have potential!

-ALL: Thanks, Mira!

-Bye, guys.

I guess I need to build a new bike.

You should come with me to the bike shop.

They have a recycling bin

with parts you can use.

Oh, that sounds great!

Okay, try it out Manjeet.

Whoa. Whoa!

Hi, Manjeet, hi, Ranjeet,

this is Pinky's cousin, Manya.

BOTH: Hi, Manya!

Hi! Mira said you have

a recycling bin with bike parts.

May I look through it?

I'm building a new bike.

Help yourself.

Thanks.

Mira, we still haven't fixed your bike.

We don't know what's wrong with it.

We might need a few more hours.

Or weeks.

I think I found something that will work.

That's just a toy.

How's that going to help fix a bike?

Manya is upcycling, people!

She takes things you were going

to throw out

and uses them in new ways.

BOTH: Oh!

That should do it. Mira, try it now.

It works! Thank you, Manya!

I'm really good

at fixing and building things.

-She's a genius!

-She is!

You know, Manya, we could use

some repairs around our shop,

if you're interested.

Can I have the unused parts?

-Absolutely!

-You have yourself a deal!

Thanks, guys!

Sounds like the beginning

of a beautiful partnership!

-Ooh, look at this!

-BOTH: Whoa. Watch out!

MANYA: I can really use that!

CHIKKU: Stand back.

She's upcycling, people!
