Fun Facts About Unicorns!

In enchanted forests and at the end of rainbows around the world live magical creatures called unicorns. Unicorns have a horn on their forehead and shimmering mane that can be any color from pure white to the brightest pink. Unicorns are known for their kindness and love of nature. They roam through fields of flowers, spreading joy wherever they go. They love to play and run and dance, and have a special magic that can make wishes come true. But unicorns are also very brave, and will do anything to protect their friends. If a unicorn sees someone in trouble, it will use its magic to help, even if it means putting itself in danger. So, the next time you hear a rustling in the bushes or a glimmer of light in the forest, keep your eyes peeled - you just might see a unicorn. And if you're lucky, it might make one of your wishes come true!
