Welcome to Makeup, the kids' bedtime rompice.

Tonight's Makeup story is a request from two listeners named Jeremiah and Joshua.

Jeremiah and Joshua live in Oregon, which is a state in the United States of America.

And Jeremiah's birthday was yesterday, and he just turned four.

So happy birthday, Jeremiah.

Jeremiah and Joshua asked for us to make up a story

that includes a magic starfish, a sea horse, and the ocean.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there were two brothers named Jeremiah and Joshua. Jeremiah and Joshua had a secret tunnel that led from their house

to a beach. The tunnel started in their basement behind a closet.

So they would go down to the basement and they would bring a flashlight and they would open up the closet door and then they would point in the flashlight and the tunnel had a slide in it

and jeremiah and joshua would go on the slide in the tunnel out of their house to a special part of the

oregon coast named point perpetua Perpetua was a magical place outside of their house.

It was right by the ocean, and there were some really big waves. But there were also tide pools,

which are little bits of water, that are stuck on the rocks.

And sometimes Jeremiah and Joshua would find seashells.

One day, they got out of the slide that led to Point Perpetua, the rocky beach near their house,

and they walked outside and they saw a yellow pool of water. The water was so yellow, and Jeremiah asked his mom if he could go in it, and Josh also wanted to go in it, and Josh

copied what Jeremiah said, and Jeremiah and Joshua's mom said that they could only put their hands in it.

So Jeremiah put his hand in it and he found a seahorse. A seahorse is a silly looking sea animal.

And usually you don't find it in Point Perpetua. But this seahorse was able to get out of the water,

and it was also able to walk around the land just like a regular horse.

But seahorses are not as big as regular horses.
