- Did a word that's important to you go missing?

- And now all you can feel, do, or think is the opposite of that word?

- Then call us.

I'm Sly.

- And I'm Gabby.

We're word detectives, and we solve- - [Both] Word mysteries.

- Together we run the Wordsville Online Detective Agency.

- We'll find your missing word fast.

- Not to mention briskly.

- And swiftly.

- Yeah, we're really good with words.

- [Children] Wordsville!

(call signal chimes) (Sly imitates rock music) - Sly.

Sly!

- Oh, hey, Gabby.

I didn't notice you called me.

- Actually, you called me.

- I did?

Huh.

I must have mashed the keys playing air guitar.

- And I accidentally hiya-ed desk while practicing karate.

- I guess neither of us are being very careful.

Hey, is this a word mystery?

- I think it just might be.

Firefighter Ember's calling.

(call signal chimes) - Word detectives, we've got a situation here.

This caution sign is missing, and now I'm getting tons of calls from people having little accidents because they're not being cautious.

- [Sly] Caution means care to avoid danger or risk.

- [Gabby] Like when you're careful or cautious.

- That's what I'm all about, but I wasn't cautious while looking for the sign, and well, I got wrapped in my fire hose.

(sighs) It's like I can't be careful no matter how hard I try.

- This is a word mystery, all right.

- One we better solve before anyone gets hurt, or more hurt.

- Tell us what happened, Firefighter Ember, and I'll animate it.

Recap time.

- [Ember] I was holding an open house at the fire station so people could learn more about safety.

I accidentally knocked over a bucket of water, which made a puddle, but before I could clean up the puddle, I saw Athlete Glory and Vet Wilder coming.

I didn't want them to slip, so I leaned my caution sign near the puddle to alert them to use caution or be careful as they walked past.

Then I went to get a towel.

When I came back, they were gone and so was my caution sign.

- Interesting.

Can you show us a scene of the mystery?

- Sure.

I leaned my caution sign near the puddle.

- [Sly] Thanks, I'm taking screenshots for our case notes.

- Firefighter Ember, we're on the case.

Be careful.

- I can't.

That's the whole point.

(Ember thuds) - Are you okay?

- [Ember] Yes.

- Case notes time.

What happened?

- Someone took Firefighter Ember's caution sign, and now everyone is acting carelessly.

- And we know where it happened, the fire station, when she went to go get a towel.

- [Sly] Our suspects are Athlete Glory and Vet Wilder.

- Now to investigate who did it, how, and why.

Let's go over the scene of the mystery.

- [Sly] Hm, there's the puddle Firefighter Ember wanted to warn people about.

- [Gabby] And some muddy paw prints.

- [Sly] And is that a soccer ball?

- Good eye, Sly.

I bet it's Athlete Glory's.

I've got mine right here.

Oops.

(ball thuds) - Oh!

- Let's call our first suspect before I carelessly break something.

(call signal chimes) - Hey, word detectives, what's up?

- A word mystery.

- Can you tell us what happened to the caution sign at the fire station?

- The caution sign?

I didn't see one of those.

I was too busy practicing dribbling and kicking for my big soccer game.

- So you were kicking your soccer ball in the fire station?

- Yep, until my ball got stuck.

I didn't wanna be late for my game, so I left.

- I see.

Do you remember anything else that might be helpful?

- Well, I did hear a clanging sound just before my ball got stuck.

- Interesting.

Thanks for your time.

Hey, how'd your game go?

- I accidentally stubbed my toe on a post before the game started, so I didn't get to play.

I'm usually more cautious and aware of any danger around.

- Ah!

(alert chimes) - So it sounds like Athlete Glory didn't see the caution sign.

- She was distracted practicing her soccer moves, so she wasn't being... - Whoa!

- Careful.

- Phew, we better interview our next suspect.

(call alert chimes) - Hi, word detectives.

You'll have to be quick.

I've got a big mess to clean up here.

- What do you know about the missing caution sign from the fire station?

- Caution sign?

Never saw it.

Wish there was one.

My dogs ran through a big puddle.

Their dirty paws turned muddy and left paw prints all over.

So now I'm cleaning.

- A bit carelessly, I might add.

- Vet Wilder, did you say you brought your dogs to the fire station?

- Yes, when we came in, we heard a clang, and my dogs raced off and found a new yellow Frisbee.

- A Frisbee?

Where'd they find it?

- I have no idea.

(kibble clatters) Ugh, whoops.

Now I have muddy paw prints and a bunch of kibble to clean up.

Gotta go.

- Okay, it's- - Time to accuse Vet Wilder for taking the caution sign?

- No.

- Time to accuse Athlete Glory of taking the caution sign?

- No, it would be careless to accuse someone without considering the facts.

- Right, we don't wanna blame the wrong person.

It's case notes time.

(mouse clicks) - So we know Athlete Glory said she didn't see the caution sign.

- She was busy kicking her soccer ball.

- Vet Wilder said he didn't see it either.

His dogs ran off when they heard a clang.

- But they found a round, yellow Frisbee somewhere.

- Wait, Firefighter Ember's caution sign was round and yellow too.

- I get it.

Now it's time to reveal who did it, how, and why, right?

- Right.

Oh.

- Now presenting the word mystery animator reenactment of "The Case of the Cautionary Tale."

- [Gabby] I'm so excited for the fire station open house.

(water splashes) Wait, is that a puddle?

Oh no, someone might slip.

This caution sign will alert people to the danger.

I better get a towel to clean this up.

Ooh, an open house at the fire station.

I wanna go in, but I also need to practice for my game.

I'm sure I can do both.

- [Sly] Ooh, an open house at the fire station.

Want to go in, but I also need to walk my dogs.

I'm sure I can do both.

- [Gabby] Oh no, my ball!

(dog barks) - Oh no, my dogs!

Firefighter Ember, Athlete Glory, and Vet Wilder are all who did it.

- Firefighter Ember leaned the caution sign near the puddle.

- Where it was accidentally knocked over by Athlete Glory's ball.

- Causing Vet Wilder's dogs to think it was a Frisbee, so they took it to play with.

- You were all a little careless.

That's how it happened.

- What?

No way.

I would've noticed if my dogs' new yellow Frisbee was a caution sign.

Whoops, I didn't see the writing on it.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry, too.

- The dogs would've thought it was a Frisbee if my ball hadn't knocked it over.

- Which wouldn't have happened if I had put it up more carefully.

- I'll bring the sign back before anyone can make another careless... Whoo!

I'm okay, landed on a soft doggy bed.

(call signal chimes) - Caution has returned to Wordsville.

- And I'm going to carefully practice soccer now that my toe is better.

- And my dogs and I are gonna play at the park with a real Frisbee.

- [Townsfolk] Thanks, word detectives.

- Looks like everything is back to normal.

Except my hand is still sore from doing karate in here.

- I think I know the perfect way to stretch all those hand muscles.

Air guitar!

- Let's rock!

(Sly imitates rock music) - [Gabby] Whoo!
