High, high up in the sky, on clouds made of sugar, lived a little blue unicorn. He thought he had the coziest and tastiest cloud of all. It was both his home and his food. What a treat: the cloud was cotton candy. Every day the little unicorn nibbled a small piece for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He was always full.
A unicorn has plenty to do: hopping from cloud to cloud, catching falling sugar raindrops, and singing a song, cheerful or sad depending on his mood. Life went on as usual, and the little blue unicorn was happy.
One day he woke up to a gentle bump. He jumped up and saw that another little island had settled right next to his cloud. A pink unicorn lived there too, and he had decided to move in! What nerve!
All day the blue unicorn walked around scowling. His idyll was over! Of course, you can't hop around properly or sing with someone watching. There is always a silent witness. What's more, he had to put up with the pink one's antics.
The pink unicorn loved playing musical instruments, and his cloud helped a lot: one moment it would create a sugar trumpet, the next a sugar violin. But the only instrument the neighbor played well was the sugar piano. The others came hard to him. In short, sheer nightmare!
Then a plan took shape in the blue unicorn's head. He started to bother his neighbor: he made noise at night, chomped loudly while eating, and even blew the sugar musical instruments away with gusts of air! The pink unicorn could not put up with it.
One morning, the blue unicorn woke with a smug grin and thoughts of new mischief, and discovered that the neighbor's cloud had vanished. But he didn't feel glad. For some reason he felt sad. It turned out that living next door had its charms. You could chat, or show each other new ways to hop up the clouds. By the third day the blue unicorn had lost his appetite, and he didn't even feel like hopping anymore.
Luckily, the pink unicorn hadn't gone far. He had been hiding all along behind a cloud mountain nearby. At night he returned. He felt sorry for his careless neighbor and decided to give him a second chance. He did not regret it!
The blue unicorn reacted reservedly to the pink one's return, but he became much friendlier. A couple of months later the neighbors began visiting each other and became good friends!
