Luna was a very special unicorn. Her horn didn't just shine, it *sparkled*! It sprinkled glittery dust everywhere she went, making flowers bloom brighter and berries taste sweeter. But Luna loved her sparkle so much, she didn't like to share it. "It's *my* sparkle," she'd say, trotting away from her friends.
One sunny afternoon, Barnaby Bear was trying to build a tower of pebbles. He wanted it to be extra special, but the pebbles looked dull and gray. He wished he had a little sparkle to make it shine. He saw Luna nearby, leaving a trail of glitter, but Luna quickly hid behind a big oak tree.
Rosie Rabbit was having a picnic, but the wildflowers looked a little droopy. She thought a touch of sparkle would make them perk up. She peeked around a bush and saw Luna, but Luna turned her back and galloped off.
Luna continued playing by herself, but something felt wrong. She noticed Barnaby Bear looking sad, and Rosie Rabbit’s ears drooping. She realized her sparkle wasn't making *her* happy if it couldn't make her friends happy too.
Taking a deep breath, Luna walked back to Barnaby Bear. She gently touched her horn to his pebble tower, and *poof*! The pebbles shimmered and gleamed. Barnaby Bear’s face lit up with a huge smile. "Wow, Luna! Thank you!"
Then, Luna trotted over to Rosie Rabbit and sprinkled a little sparkle on the wildflowers. They instantly stood tall and bright, buzzing with happy bees. Rosie Rabbit giggled with delight. "It's beautiful, Luna!"
Luna felt a warm glow inside, even brighter than her sparkle. Sharing her magic felt wonderful! She spent the rest of the afternoon sprinkling sparkle with Barnaby and Rosie, making the whole forest a little more magical.
As the sun began to set, Luna snuggled close to her friends. She learned that sparkle is even more special when it’s shared. And that, she thought, was the most magical thing of all. Now close your eyes, little one, and dream of sparkles and friends.
