Read the text. Unicorns
A unicorn was a mythical, legendary creature. It
lived long ago in deep forests where people could
not see or find it. It was difficult to catch a unicorn.
It was a beautiful white horse with a single sharp
horn on its head. It had sky-blue eyes, sparky hair
and a long tail.
Its horn had magic powers; it could save people
who were poisoned. Unicorns could also make
water in the forest special. If a person was sick he
could drink this water and got well. The magic
water had healing powers and people were not
sick anymore.
It was lucky to touch a pure white unicorn,
because it brought happiness forever.
