The Legend of the Unicorns It all started when a young Unicorn had lost his way. Playing in the woods one minute, when suddenly he took a wrong turn and was completely lost. Trembling he stood, sad and alone. Suddenly a pixie appeared and took his horn, "Follow me little one, I know someone who can help". Frightened and uncertain he went along. He followed the pixie for a long way, as she led him through the green woods past the largest trees. and there on a beautiful rose, sat the Rose Fairy. "Oh Rose Fairy, can you help me"? he asked in a very little voice. " I'm very lost and tired." Petting him gently, she kindly said, "of course little one". She floated high above the land and saw exactly where his Mother was. And the fairy threw her light beams to show him the way. "There you are my little friend, right down there your Mother is waiting for you". And suddenly he was with his Mother once more...the Unicorns were so happy and grateful to the fairies. They promised to carry the fairies whenever they needed a ride though the meadows. As legend goes, the fairies made sure the little Unicorn would never lose his way again. They gave him the gift of the magic horn, that would always light his way. And the Unicorns kept their promise too, and to this day, fairies can be seen riding on the backs of the magical Unicorns. And a certain young Unicorn now grown into a beautiful steed, gives the best rides of all. |
