🌈 The Unicorn and the Troll 🌈

One sunny day, a sparkly unicorn named Starshine was walking through the forest. She was looking for some flowers to decorate her mane.

Suddenly, she heard a funny snort-snuffle-snore.

It was Gus, a fat and funny little troll with a curly mustache, sleeping under a mushroom!

“Hello, Gus!” said Starshine. “Do you have any flowers?”

Gus yawned and stretched.

“Hmm… I don’t have any flowers,” he said. “But I have some jellybeans in my pocket!”

Starshine giggled. “You always have some candy!”

Gus smiled proudly. “Would you like some?”

“Yes, please!” said Starshine. “But only if you don’t need any for yourself.”

“Oh no,” laughed Gus, “I always bring some to share!”

So, Starshine got some jellybeans, Gus got some unicorn sparkles, and they had a silly, sweet afternoon together.
