Hi, my name's Madeline, welcome to Makeup Stories, the best podcast ever. Tell your friends.

Tonight's

make-up story is a request

from my younger son, Jesse,

who's four years old,

who asks for me to make up a story

about a plant that turns into a duck. And Jonah's not feeling so well,

and he doesn't really know what should be in the story. Once upon a time, a long time ago,

there were two kids named Jonah and Jesse.

Jonah and Jesse went to school together, and the principal of the school told them that they were going on a field trip.

Soon enough, they got their backpacks, and they went with their friends on a big, long, yellow school bus.

Jonah and Jesse got to sit together, and they started to talk, and they wondered where they were going.

The bus ride was very long. They must have been on the bus for like an hour and a half,

and they could see so many things outside of the bus window,

like different cars and trees and the side of the road,

but inside the bus, some of their friends from school weren't behaving.

Finally, the bus arrived to its destination.

The bus driver said, we're here, and the bus stopped, and the bus driver opened the door,

and then all of the kids, including Jesse and Jonah, went out of the bus.

They were on a field trip, and the field trip today was to explore new types of plants.

Most types of plants people know about, but there are some types of plants that people don't really know about yet because they haven't been discovered.

And Jonah and Jesse's class was going around the woods to see if they could find new kinds of plants.
