Luna was a very special unicorn. Her horn didn't just shine, it *sparkled*! Little flecks of rainbow light floated off it whenever she moved, making everything around her extra beautiful. Luna loved her sparkle, and sometimes, she didn't want to share it.
She lived in a cozy meadow with her friends: Barnaby the bear, Rosie the rabbit, and Finley the fox. They loved watching Luna sparkle, but sometimes Luna would trot away when they got too close, wanting to keep all the shimmer for herself.
One sunny afternoon, Barnaby was trying to build a tower of pebbles. He wanted it to be extra special, but it looked a little…dull. Rosie was trying to decorate her burrow with flowers, but they weren’t bright enough. And Finley was practicing his cartwheels, but wished he had a little extra *zing*!
Luna watched them from behind a big oak tree. She felt a little tug in her heart. They looked a little sad. She remembered how much fun they had playing together, and how much happier everything was when they were all smiling.
Taking a deep breath, Luna trotted towards her friends. She lowered her head and let her sparkle drift over Barnaby’s pebble tower. Suddenly, the pebbles shimmered with all the colors of the rainbow! Barnaby gasped with delight.
Then, Luna walked to Rosie’s burrow and sprinkled sparkle on the flowers. They glowed with a soft, magical light. Rosie hopped with joy! Finally, Luna let her sparkle swirl around Finley as he did a cartwheel. He flipped and twirled, leaving a trail of rainbow dust!
Luna had never felt so happy! Sharing her sparkle didn’t make it disappear; it made everything *more* beautiful. And seeing her friends so joyful made her sparkle even brighter.
Barnaby, Rosie, and Finley thanked Luna with big hugs. They all played together until the sun began to set, their meadow filled with laughter and sparkle. Luna learned that the best kind of magic isn't keeping something special to yourself, but sharing it with those you love.
As the stars came out, Luna snuggled close to her friends. She knew, with a happy sigh, that sharing her sparkle had made her heart shine brighter than ever before. Now close your eyes, little one, and let Luna’s sparkle fill your dreams with kindness and joy.
