A space caterer (Lauren Lapkus) helps the Story Pirates learn to like strange foods from other galaxies. Featuring two new stories: “Space Llama,” a Bowie-esque spin on a classic folk tale about how the night sky came to be, written by Lindsay, an 8-year-old from New York, and “Have You Wondered,” a story about what happens when the Statue of Liberty fights crime, written by a 7-year-old from Ohio named Theodore.
Original Stories
Space Llama
Lindsay, age 8, New York
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, when there were no humans, there was no night either. All the animals would get sick and it would be very sad for their families. One day, a llama named Space Llama decided that he would fullfill his name and build a rocket. When it was done he didn't know what it was for, but then he had an idea... He took a bag and filled it with black yarn and some knitting needles. And he took his rocket up to space. He knitted for a very long time and he never finished. Every night he would fly up and put that blanket he knitted over the sky to make night. The hole that he left is the moon. And holes grew in it over the years. Those are the stars. So, every day, right before night look for a llama in a spaceship with a big black blanket.
Our adaptation of “Space Llama” was written by Austin Sanders and produced by Marcus Bagala
Have You Wondered
Theodore, age 7, Ohio
Have you wondered what the Statue of Liberty does when no one is watching? Well…
Yesterday night in New York City, two evil men robbed one thousand million dollars from a bank. They thought no one was watching as they escaped on a boat, but the Statue of Liberty was. She knew she had to help, but she couldn’t move because two tourists on the Brooklyn Bridge were looking at her.
She waited until they looked way and then dropped her tablet into the bay, creating a tin tsunami that crashed over the robbers’ boat. The robbers flew up into the air and down into the jail and the money flew back to the bank where it belongs. The Statue of Liberty picked up her tablet, and then she did a superhero pose, and went back to normal—just in time for the tourists to look at her again.
