The Little Unicorn By India
Once there was a little unicorn. Her name was Nala. She had pink mane and tail. Her
body was light blue. She was bullied a lot because she was small. One day she was in
a spell class at school where they were learning how to make stuff appear out of air.
Her teacher said he would demonstrate. Then within seconds a sugar cube appeared
above his head. The class gasped . ”That’s so cool” someone shouted .”Yes it is” he
exclaimed. After he explained the directions he yelled “Everybody find a partner”,
then ever body ran to their best friends. Nala was last and so was another girl. So
they paired up. So the girl tried first. She tried and tried and tried but couldn’t do it.
So then Nala tried. She tried she tried again. As she was about to give up… a medal
appeared above her head. The girl stared in astonishment. As Nala stared at the
medal, it floated down and rested around her neck. Everyone cheered. Never in her
life had Nala felt noticed. Her enemies lifted her up on their shoulders. She was the
first Unicorn in years to be able to do that. From then on, she was cherished and
known as spell girl. And she still is today.
