Welcome to Makeup, the kid's bedtime rompies!

Tonight's Make-Up story is your request from a five-year-old listener whose name is Maddie.

Maddie asked for us to make up a story that includes a giant that lives in the clouds and a chicken that can talk. And we're also going to

add a rocket ship that's a lantern. A lantern is like something with a light bulb inside it.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there lived a five-year-old girl whose name was Maddie.

In the world where Maddie lived, there was no sun in the sky. Instead of a sun, there was a big light bulb.

And it was a ginormous, very strong light bulb that was like a huge flashlight

that shone from outer space, even past the moon, onto Earth. and Maddie always grew up wondering how she could get to that flashlight

because in this world there was no sun and all of the light came from the big flashlight in outer space.

One day, when Maddie was five years old, she had a good idea.

Her idea was that she was going to make a kid's rocket ship that a five-year-old girl

or boy could fit in that was able to go from her world

all the way past the clouds in the sky higher than the moon and all the way up to outer space

and then she was going to go to the flashlight in her rocket ship and she was

going to see if she could turn it on or off and she decided if she turned it off then because the

flashlight was off it would mean that it's dark in her world and it was really night time.

And if she turned the flashlight on, then it became daytime in her world again.

Because it was such a big flashlight that shined and shownone so much light.

Well, Maddie found out that she could make a rocket ship out of a lantern.

She put a seat in middle of the lantern, and this rocket ship was powered by the light bulb.

It wasn't a regular light bulb.

It was a laser light.
