Do Unicorns Have Neighbours?

Author:
A therapeutic, moralizing fairy tale about a unicorn who gets a neighbour, for preschool and early elementary children. A story about kindness and learning to get along with the people next door. Perfect for reading at bedtime.

High, high up in the sky, on cotton candy clouds, lives a little blue unicorn. He thought he had the coziest and tastiest cloud of all. It was both his home and his food. And no wonder, what a treat: the cloud was made of cotton candy. Every day the little unicorn nibbled a small piece for breakfast, lunch and dinner. He was always full.

He had plenty to do: hopping from cloud to cloud, catching falling sugar raindrops, and singing a song, either a cheerful one or a sad one, 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. The unicorn jumped up and saw that another little island had settled right beside his cloud. A pink unicorn lived there too, and he had decided to move in! What nerve!

All day long the blue unicorn walked around scowling. His idyll was over! Of course, you can't hop around properly or sing with someone watching you all the time. And on top of that, he had to put up with the pink unicorn's antics.

The pink unicorn loved playing musical instruments, and his cloud was happy to help: it would make a sugar trumpet one moment and a sugar violin the next. But the only instrument the neighbour played well was the sugar piano. The other instruments came hard to him. All in all, it was a total nightmare!

That's when a plan took shape in the blue unicorn's head. He started to pester his neighbour on purpose: he made noise at night, chomped loudly while eating, and even blew the sugar instruments away with gusts of air! The pink unicorn could not put up with it any longer.

One morning, the blue unicorn woke up with a smirk and new mischief on his mind, only to find that the neighbour's cloud had vanished. He wasn't happy about it, though. For some reason he felt sad instead. It turned out that having a neighbour had its perks. They 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 behind a cloud mountain nearby the whole time. At night he came back. He felt sorry for his careless neighbour and decided to give him a second chance. And it was the right call!

The blue unicorn reacted with restraint to the pink unicorn's return, but he became much friendlier. A couple of months later, the neighbours began visiting each other and became good friends!
