A Month of Bedtime Stories - Neil McFarlane
1. Nanoodle Snagglebottom
This story is a little bit different from other stories. Usually stories are about other people but this story is about you. And usually stories are made up but this story is all true. It’s about all the amazing things you did today, all that climbing and jumping and meeting an alien!
I know what you’re thinking: you’re thinking: I didn’t meet an alien today!
Oh yes you did! You just can’t remember because you got a bonk on the head which made you forget all about it.
Let me tell you what happened.
We were going to cook dinner but we’d run out of potatoes.
Don’t worry,
you said. I know where to get potatoes.
And off you went to the woods.
When you got to the woods, you climbed that really big tree because you thought it was a potato tree.
Sometimes you can be a little bit silly, but that’s OK – we still love you.
So you climbed that tree, the biggest tree in the woods. You know the one I mean. Up and up you went, higher and higher and upper and upper, until you’d climbed right up above the clouds. Then you looked out from the top branches and all you could see were clouds in every direction, like a big ocean of clouds and not a potato in sight.
It was then that you started to think, Hmmm, maybe potatoes don’t grow on trees after all.
And then for some reason you started to laugh.
Ha!
you said.
Then you said, Ha ha!
Then you said, Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I don’t know why … ha ha … I’m laughing. There’s nothing … ha ha … funny up here.
It’s the oxygen,
said a voice.
What oxygen?
you asked.
Trees make oxygen,
said the voice. You’re right at the top of this tree, the biggest in the woods, so there’s a lot of oxygen up here. Breathing in oxygen makes you feel happy and that’s why you’re laughing.
Oh,
you said. And then you thought, Where is that voice coming from?
You’re probably wondering where this voice is coming from, aren’t you?
said the voice.
Well, yes I am, actually,
you replied.
Look up,
said the voice.
So you looked up and there, hovering silently just above your head, was a flying saucer!
And inside the cockpit was a dog!
Blinkin’ Nora!
you said. It’s a dog in a flying saucer!
I’m not a dog,
said the dog that wasn’t a dog. I’m an alien. Grrrr.
You look like a dog,
you said, and you growl like one.
You look like a globbleplop,
said the alien.
A globbleplop?
you said. What’s a globbleplop?
It’s something we have on my planet. We throw sticks and globbleplops fetch them.
You mean to say on your planet you keep children as pets?
you asked.
They’re not children,
said the alien. They’re globbleplops.
Whatever,
you said. What are you doing here, anyway?
I’m observing your planet,
the alien replied.
Observing it? Why?
"That information is top secret. What are you doing here?"
That information is also top secret,
you said, and I ain’t gonna tell ya.
Well, that alien didn’t look very happy at all. Maybe it was because he was a nosy sort of alien and
