Luna was a little unicorn with a very special horn. It didn't just look pretty; it sparkled! And Luna’s sparkle wasn’t just any sparkle – it could make flowers bloom, help baby birds fly, and even make grumpy caterpillars smile. But Luna loved her sparkle *so* much, she didn’t like to share it.
She lived in a meadow filled with her friends: Rosie the rabbit, Barnaby the bear cub, and Pip the little field mouse. They often asked Luna to sprinkle a little sparkle on their games. “Could you make my carrot garden grow faster, Luna?” Rosie would ask. Or, “Could you help me reach the yummy berries, Luna?” Barnaby would plead. But Luna would always say, “No, it’s *my* sparkle!”
One sunny afternoon, Luna was making a sparkly rainbow all by herself. She was very proud, but she noticed Rosie, Barnaby, and Pip were playing a game of hide-and-seek, and it didn’t look very fun. The meadow was a little dull without any sparkle. Rosie tripped and scraped her knee, and Barnaby couldn’t find a good hiding spot.
Luna felt a little pang in her heart. She remembered how much fun they had *together* when she used to share her sparkle. Slowly, she walked over to Rosie and gently touched her knee with her horn. A tiny sparkle healed the scrape! Rosie giggled. Then, Luna sprinkled a little sparkle around Barnaby, making a shimmering bush appear – the perfect hiding spot! Barnaby cheered.
Finally, Luna sprinkled sparkle on Pip, making his tiny house glow with a warm light. Pip squeaked with delight! Suddenly, the meadow was filled with laughter and joy. Luna realized that sharing her sparkle didn’t make it disappear; it made everything *more* magical.
From that day on, Luna loved sharing her sparkle with her friends. She learned that making others happy made *her* the happiest unicorn in the whole wide world. And every night, as the stars came out, Luna would sprinkle a little extra sparkle on her friends, wishing them sweet dreams.
Now close your eyes, little one, and imagine Luna’s sparkle all around you. Feel the kindness and friendship, and drift off to sleep knowing that sharing makes the world a brighter place.
