Welcome back to Make-Up, the kids' bedtime stories podcast. My name is Steve. I make up new stories every night without preparing to put my five-year-old son to bed. You should listen to another story tomorrow. But right now, we're ready for today's story. So get ready. Get tucked in. Make-up story begin.

Okay. Tonight's Make-up Story is a request from a five-year-old listener named Isidore. And Isidore asked for us to make up a story that has a Hot Wheels, which is a toy car, and also has a choo-choo train and a bear and we're also going to add a

leprechaun to this story and also a big humongous rocket ship okay we'll put on

later once upon a time a long time, there was a big boy whose name was Isidore.

One day, Isidore woke up and he heard a knocking on the door, and the knocking sound went, knock, knock, knock,

and Isidore told his mama to open up the door.

And his mama opened up the door, and she saw that it was the mailman.

And the mailman said he had a special package.

And Isidore's mama took the package, and she showed it to Isidore.

Isidore saw that there was an eye at the beginning of the name, and he said, is this package

for me?

Because it looks like it says my name.

And Isidore's mama told him that it was.

So Isidore went to the kitchen, and he told his mom that they needed to use a plastic knife or a butter knife to open up the box because he wanted to see what was inside.

His mom helped him with the knife and they opened up the box together.

When Isidore opened up the box, he saw that there were Hot Wheels toy cars in the box.

And in addition, there was a smaller hidden box that was in the first box,

and that hidden box had so many choo-choo trains.

So Isidore told his mom that he was going to go play. And Isidore got out

all of the Hot Wheels cars and all of his choo-train's and he told his mom that he was going to go

by himself in his room for a little bit because he wanted to play with nobody watching.

And when Isidore went to his room, he noticed that the window was open.
