Updated: Nov 22

The Beetle Burrow Bug Hotel: A Goblin Adventure in Snaggleton 🪲🍃

Welcome to another enchanting episode of our kids story podcast! This time, join the goblin siblings Snickerfang and Jinx as they face a puzzling problem in their cozy Beetle Burrow. 🏠 Their beetles have mysteriously disappeared, and it’s up to them—and a little help from Granny Gigglesnort—to bring the bugs back! 🐞✨



The Missing Beetles Mystery 🕵️‍♂️🐞

In the village of Snaggleton, deep beneath the roots of an ancient tree, Snickerfang and Jinx’s home, the Beetle Burrow, was a peaceful and magical place. But something unusual was happening—there were no beetles in sight! 😟 Snickerfang and Jinx soon realized how important the beetles were. They didn’t just add color to the burrow; they helped clean the garden and the soil, and even protected the plants from pesky bugs! 🌱

“Where have all the buggledy-bugs gone?” Snickerfang asked, his eyes full of worry. 😢 Granny Gigglesnort soon visited and confirmed that beetles are one of nature’s most important creatures, keeping everything in balance. 🧙‍♀️


Granny’s Brilliant Idea 💡🪲

Granny Gigglesnort came to the rescue with a magical idea: build a Bug Hotel! 🏨🌿 “It’s a special place where bugs can find food, shelter, and a safe place to lay their eggs. It’s like building a tiny village for them!” Granny explained. 🌸🐞 Snickerfang and Jinx were excited to get started, and soon, they were gathering materials from around their forest home to create the perfect Bug Hotel! 🌲✨


Building the Bug Hotel Together 🛠️🌍

With Granny Gigglesnort’s guidance, the trio worked together to create a colourful, higgledy-piggledy structure using logs, pinecones, hollow sticks, and soft moss. 🪵🌱 Each section of the hotel would be filled with cozy spaces for different bugs to move in and make a home. Snickerfang found hollow sticks for tunnels, Jinx collected pine cones for nests, and Granny used enchanted moss to make soft beds. 🛏️💚


Waiting for Guests 🐝⏳

After completing the hotel, Snickerfang, Jinx, and Granny eagerly waited for guests to arrive. At first, nothing happened—but then, one morning, they saw movement! A beautiful shiny beetle, a family of Jigglybugs, and even some Pollenpuff Bees had moved into their new hotel! 🦗🌼 It was working—bugs were finally coming back to Snaggleton! 🎉


The Joy of Sharing and Nature’s Balance 🌍❤️

Granny Gigglesnort visited again, proud of the goblins’ hard work. “Your Bug Hotel is a grand success! Well done, my little goblins!” Granny cheered. 🥳 Snickerfang and Jinx were delighted to see the beetles—and their garden—thriving again. 🌸🐞

Granny’s final words were simple but powerful: “Remember, little ones, everything in nature has its place and purpose. Even the tiniest beetle can make a big difference.” 🌍💖
