Welcome to Make-Up, the kids' bedtime stories podcast. Get ready to listen to fun and non-scary stories that I make up on the fly without preparing. I tell these stories to my five-year-old son as part of his bedtime routine. Thanks for listening. Okay, so you said you wanted this make-up story to have a shark, a ferry boat, a tiger, a boy, and a lot of families.

Yeah, so the boy is part of family.

Okay.

There needs to be a captain to drive the ship.

Okay.

And a captain that drives the ship.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, they lived a big boy whose name was David and David lived right near the North Pole where it was so snowy and so cold and David did not live in a regular house with walls and a chimney and a kitchen and bathrooms and bedrooms.

Instead, because David lived in the North Pole, his family lived in an igloo.

An igloo is a house that's made out of snow and ice, and the walls of an igloo are snow and ice, and the roof of an igloo is snow and ice, and inside the stairs are snow and ice, and everything is made of snow and ice.

Except David's family had decided to decorate their special igloo

with a carpet, and they even had beds in the igloo, and they had a special kids play center

with a lot of toys including dolls and teddy bears

and monster trucks and choo-choo trains and even the specialist toy of all helicopter, which was also a Barbie.

And a helicopter Barbie could transform from a Barbie into a helicopter.

And a Barbie is a kind of doll that it looks like a girl.

And this girl Barbie could also transform into a helicopter.

Well, David loved to play in his igloo,

and sometimes his friends, who would live in different igloos,

would come over after school to play in his special toy room.

And...

All of his friends also lived at the North Pole.

Yep, all of his friends also lived at the North Pole.
