The Moonflower’s Secret: A Unicorn’s Tale
The Moon Festival Excitement
Finally, the Moon Festival night had arrived! As the unicorns gathered under the full moon’s silver light, the magical meadow buzzed with excitement. Gold, silver, and even light pinks glistened from their horns.
Sparkle, a young unicorn with a coat of pale lavender, stood awestruck. Despite her best efforts, she was unable to make her horn shine as brightly as the others. She sighed and said, “I wish my horn sparkled like the others.”
Her friend, the wise old owl Willow, offered the suggestion, “Maybe the Moonflower can assist.” It is said to have the power to make the tiniest horn shine as brightly as the stars. Sparkle’s pulse quickened. If she could find the Moonflower, she could finally fit in!
The Journey Begins
Sparkle went into the Whispering Woods, where the Moonflower was said to be in bloom, with a clear head. The path was pitch-black, and sounds from behind the trees could be heard. But she kept going, her heart full of hope.
Sparkle came across Luma, the Firefly Queen, when the leaves were suddenly ruffled by a gust of wind. “Young unicorn, where are you going?” With her tiny body glowing like a golden ember, Luma asked. Sparkle stated, “I need the Moonflower to make my horn shine.
” Luma laughed. “Light is more than just what other people see. It occasionally shines brightest where it matters most. Sparkle gave a cordial nod, but she carried on.
The Hidden Moonflower
Sparkle finally recognized a silver glow in the woods—a Moonflower! But a soft whimper stopped her as she reached for it.
A small bunny was entangled in a fallen branch near the flower.
Sparkle lifted the branch with all of her might without hesitation. In gratitude, the bunny broke free and nuzzled her. Sparkle’s chest lit up with a warm glow at that exact instant. Her horn flickered… and then shone brighter than ever!
She exhaled. She had always carried the light inside of her.
The Brightest Light of All
The other unicorns gasped in astonishment when Sparkle returned to the festival. Like the moon itself, her horn shined brightly despite its softness.
“What took place?” They inquired.
Sparkle laughed. “I thought I needed the Moonflower, but I found my light by helping other people,”
the author writes. Sparkle danced under the glowing moon, realizing she had always been special, just as she was, as the unicorns cheered.
Her light never went out after that, either.
