Welcome to Makeup, the kid's bedtime rompice!

Tonight's Makeup story is a request from an eight-year-old listener named Lake,

and Lake asked for us to make up a story about a big, giant pot of slime,

a nice dragon, and two doggies named Jerry and Waffles.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a big kid whose name was Lake.

Lake lived in the top of a building in a big city. The building that Lake lived

in was the tallest building in the whole world. And instead of having elevators, the building had slides, and the way you got from Lakes

apartment, which was on the roof of the building, and had a swimming pool, all the way to the

bottom of the building, was by going on a slide that went round and round the building.

And when you got to the bottom, it went slower so that you didn't fall down too fast.

Well, one day, Lake and his friends were playing by the pool on top of Lake's house, and they had floaty equipment, and they had

balls. And one of Lake's friends, whose name was Nancy, got the ball and threw it to Lake.

But she threw it a little bit too far, and the ball, which was a basketball, went all the way over the building and bounced down to the ground, far below, on the street.

Nancy and Lake decided that they needed to go get the ball. So they looked over the building and they

saw that the ball was bouncing so high because the farther a ball falls, the higher the ball

bounces, and this ball fell from the top of a very big building.

So, Nancy and Lake decided to go down the slide,

and Lake's doggies, whose names were jury and waffles,

saw that they were about to go down the slide,

and they decided to make a choochoo on the slide.

Lake was in front, and then Nancy, and then jury the doggie, and then Waffles the doggy.

And Lake said, three, two, one, go. And he started to go down the slide, which went around the building until he got to the bottom.
