Welcome to Makeup Stories. My name is Jack.

How old are you, Jack?

Um, I'm the bee.

Feastey.

Tonight's Makeup Story is a request from a two-year-old listener whose name is Jack.

And Jack is soon going to be three years old.

And Jack recently got out of the hospital where he was sick, and he asked for us to make

up a story about superpowers and running fast and a purple alligator named Kwame and rescuing a princess Jennifer and a monster truck named

G-Rex and some police officers. Usually we only let kids ask for two things in a story, but because

this is a special case, we're going to make up a story about all of those

things. Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a boy whose name was Jack. Jack was two years

old, but soon he was going to be three years old. And when the day of

his birthday came, his parents told him that they should have a picnic right by a river. And he said

okay, because Jack loved to see what kinds of mysteries and special things he would find by a river.

When his family got to a river, they saw there was a little troll bridge, and under the

troll bridge there was a friendly alligator named Kwame and Kwame was not a normal

alligator because normal alligators are usually green. Quame was a purple

alligator and Kwame had a special alligator toothbrush which had two sides of brushes on it and

he used it to brush his alligator teeth and Kwame also wore an alligator crown and he wore a cape

and Kwame told Jack that it was a magic cape. Well, as Quame's parents were setting up

the picnic for the birthday cake, Jack went to talk to the alligator named Kwame, and Kwame

sneezed on Jack. And as Kwame sneezed on Jack, he said, bless you. And suddenly, Jack started to feel that his blood got a little bit hot. And there were some red splashes and a rash on his skin. And his lips started to feel a little bit dry and he got a fever.
