Welcome to Makeup, the kid's bedtime rompice.

Tonight's Makeup story is a request from a listener named Nico, and Nico is four years old,

and he asked for us to make up a story about a dinosaur named Loxie, Loxie the Dino, and a dance party, and we're also going

to add a monkey and a turtle to the story. Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a big boy

whose name was Nico.

Nico had just finished eating dinner and it was getting dark very soon.

He looked out his window and he could already see the moon and even a couple of stars.

Could he see the big dipper?

But he wasn't able to see the big dipper yet.

Well pretty soon it got even darker and more stars were visible

in different lines. And if you see the end where it dips, you would try to find the brightest

star and that will be the North Star.

Yes. And if you look at where the Big Dipper, which is a group of stars, if you look at where the group of stars,

then it points to the brightest star that you can see in this whole sky during the night, and that is called the North Star.

And a lot of sailors in the olden days used to find their way by ships using the North Star.

They had to use stars because they didn't have instruments like compasses in the olden days.

Compasses are ways of telling the direction where you don't have to look up to the sky and see the stars.

You just, so you need the compass and then you need to put a tiny magnet.

Yes, and to make a compass, all you need is a tiny magnet,

and then you need to write north, south, east, and west,

and you need to put a little pin on it, and you need to put north, south, east, and west,
