Welcome to story time! Today, we have a fun tale about two special friends: Unicorn and Horse. Let’s see what makes them so unique!
This is Unicorn. Unicorn is magical with a shiny sapphire horn, a silver coat, a rainbow mane, and perfect white teeth. Unicorn loves eating pink cupcakes and making rainbows. Unicorn is always cheerful, and all the animals love him!
And this is Horse. Horse is not like Unicorn. Horse doesn’t have a horn or a rainbow mane. Horse doesn’t eat cupcakes; instead, Horse is a bit grumpy and likes to sit quietly.
Unicorn makes everyone happy. Squirrel loves playing ring toss with Unicorn’s horn, and Bird uses Unicorn’s long hair to make her nest cozy. Unicorn shares his cupcakes with everyone, and all the animals have fun together.
Unicorn asked Horse, “Won’t you join us?” But Horse said, “No, I don’t like you.” What Horse really meant was, “I wish I were you.”
One night, while everyone was asleep, two men sneaked into Unicorn’s home. They tied Unicorn with ropes and took him away in their truck!
The other animals woke up and were worried. Squirrel said, “I can’t run fast enough to catch them.” Bird cried, “I can’t fly fast enough.” Fox said, “I can’t run on the road.” Turtle said, “I can’t run at all.”
But Horse had an idea. Horse thought and thought, then ran as fast as she could. With six big chomps of her strong teeth, Horse freed Unicorn from the ropes!
“Thank you,” said Unicorn. “You’re welcome,” said Horse.
Now, Unicorn and Horse are the best of friends. Sometimes Horse eats cupcakes, and sometimes Unicorn eats hay. Sometimes Horse makes rainbows, and sometimes Unicorn does not. Horse loves races, and Unicorn loves ring toss. But most of all, they love being friends. And that’s better than anything, even pink cupcakes!
Isn’t it wonderful how Unicorn and Horse became such good friends? Remember, being a good friend is the best thing of all!
Rainbow Mane Craft: Let’s make our own magical unicorn mane! Gather some colorful yarn or paper strips. Help the children cut them into different lengths. Ask them to glue or tape these strips onto a paper headband to create a rainbow mane. Encourage the children to wear their mane and pretend to be Unicorn, spreading cheer and happiness just like in the story. Discuss how Unicorn’s colorful mane makes others happy and how they can make their friends smile too.
Role-Playing Adventure: Set up a simple obstacle course in the classroom or playground to simulate the nighttime adventure. Assign roles to the children: some can be Unicorn, some can be Horse, and others can be the different animals. Encourage them to act out the story, focusing on how Horse used her unique abilities to help Unicorn. After the activity, ask the children how they can use their own special talents to help their friends.
Friendship Circle Discussion: Gather the children in a circle and ask them to share a time when they helped a friend or when a friend helped them. Use questions like, “How did it feel to help someone?” or “What did you learn from your friend?” Encourage them to think about the qualities that make a good friend, just like Unicorn and Horse learned to appreciate each other’s differences and strengths.

[Music] Today’s story time is brought to you by Familias, helping families be happy.
This is Unicorn, and this is Horse. Unicorn is a unicorn, and Horse is not. Unicorn has a sapphire horn, a silver coat, a rainbow mane, and perfect white teeth. Horse does not. Unicorn eats pink cupcakes for every meal; Horse does not. Unicorn makes rainbows; Horse makes something else. Unicorn dances; Horse sits grumpy.
Unicorn makes everything cheerful, really cheerful. Of course, all the animals love Unicorn. He has a horn for Squirrel to play ring toss, and Bird lines her nest with his long, beautiful hair. Everyone loves Unicorn sharing his cupcakes.
“Won’t you join us?” asked Unicorn. “No, I don’t like you,” said Horse. But what he meant was, “I wish I were you.”
Unfortunately, not everyone who heard about Unicorn was happy. A rainbow dancing Unicorn who eats cupcakes for breakfast could make someone a lot of money. One night, while everyone was asleep, two men crept into Unicorn’s paddock. They tied a startled Unicorn in ropes and loaded him into the back of their truck.
The other animals awoke when they heard the truck stealing Unicorn. “I can’t run fast enough to catch them,” said Squirrel. “I can’t fly fast enough,” cried Bird. “I can’t run on the road,” said Fox. “And I can’t run at all,” said Turtle.
Only one animal could help. Horse thought and thought, then she ran and ran. With six great chomps of Horse’s large teeth, Unicorn was free.
“Thank you,” said Unicorn. “You’re welcome,” said Horse.
This is Horse, and this is Unicorn. Sometimes Horse eats cupcakes, and sometimes Unicorn eats hay. Sometimes Horse makes rainbows, and sometimes Unicorn does not. Horse likes races; Unicorn likes ring toss. But most of all, they like each other. Horse and Unicorn are friends, and that’s better than anything, even pink cupcakes.
