Spirit of the Unicorn

By Blaine Kay

Once upon a time, a long time ago, in a far away place, there was a special kind of animal. This animal lived in a beautiful forest. It was like a spirit. The animal was called a unicorn and it had special magical power.

The creator gave the unicorn the special magical power to help it give confidence to young children. The unicorn was able to make their dreams come true. The unicorn gave the children confidence and hope. It could give them the magic of youth and the confidence to reach for their dreams, goals, and beliefs. He could do this because the children were pure like little angels that come from the heavens.

One day a young girl named Dalsie was walking in the forest. She saw a beautiful unicorn standing in a pond with flowers surrounding him. His long mane was orange like the sunset. He had a blue shiny coat like the blue sky.

Dalsie talked to the unicorn and the unicorn spoke to her. It gave her the confidence that she could succeed in life. The unicorn promised that he would watch over her. He told her to close her eyes. When Dalsie opened her eyes, the unicorn vanished into the forest. All around the forest there were butterflies of all colors.

It was getting dark and Dalsie had to leave and go home. Many years later when Dalsie had grown up, she remembered that day. The promise the unicorn had made to her really had come true.
