Bir sokak kedisi dedektif, Hasan Amca'nın kaybolan simit arabasının izini sürüyor.

One morning Hasan Amca's forty-year-old simit cart has vanished from its corner. Detective Pati, the neighbourhood's street-cat detective, follows a trail of sesame seeds and drops of fresh blue paint, questions Karabaş the sleepy street dog, and finds the cart in a hidden courtyard, where little Ela and the neighbours are secretly repainting it for Hasan Amca's fortieth year on the street.

  • Hasan Amca (Simit seller): The beloved simit seller who has stood on the same corner for forty years.

Episode 1: Kayıp Simit Arabası

Detective Pati follows sesame seeds, a squeak and blue paint to find out who took Hasan Amca's simit cart, and why.

Hasan Amca discovers his cart is gone.

Hasan Amca: Simit arabam! Kırk yıllık arabam yok olmuş!

Pati takes the case.

Dedektif Pati: Korkma Hasan Amca. Bu dava Dedektif Pati'nin!

Clue one: a trail of sesame seeds.

Dedektif Pati: Susam taneleri... yokuş aşağı gidiyor.

Suspect: Karabaş with sesame on his nose.

Dedektif Pati: Karabaş! Burnundaki o susamlar ne?

Karabaş: Yere düşen simitleri yemem ben... pek.

Karabaş points the way.

Karabaş: Ama sabah erkenden bir araba gıcırdadı. Şu tarafa.

Clue two: fresh blue paint, and a squeak.

İkinci ipucu: taze mavi boya damlaları.

Gıcır gıcır!

They peek into a hidden courtyard.

Dedektif Pati: Suçüstü!

Karabaş: Mavi elli, aslında.

Ela explains the surprise.

Ela: Şşş! Bu bir sürpriz! Hasan Amca'nın kırkıncı yılı!

Everyone helps finish and push the cart.

Dedektif Pati: Dedektiflik bekleyebilir. Hadi yardım edelim!

Hasan Amca sees his renewed cart.

Hasan Amca: Arabam... eskisinden de güzel!

Dedektif Pati: Dava kapandı. Ücretim bir simit.
