BR 1-09: Story of Unicorns

I read "Stories of Unicorns". Do you know unicorns? I didn't know it and I thought it a white horse when I saw it for the first time. But when I carefully it, it has only one horn! It is said the unicorns is legendary animal in Europe.

This book has some stories. First of all, Ellie and the unicorn's story. The unicorn doesn't like man much, but the unicorn made friend with Ellie. She is a kitchen maid. One day, the unicorn was caught by King Victor, but she set the unicorn free. They are very good friends! I want to make friends with animals someday.

Next, it is about the clumsy unicorn. Most unicorns are graceful and elegant. But the unicorn of Fair tree Forest wasn't like most unicorns. The unicorn was lonely and the other animals were afraid of it. One day, a hunter appeared, carrying a sack full of animals. He tried to catch the unicorn, but the unicorn did battle with him. After all, he run away and the unicorn helped the animals. So, the animals made friend with the unicorn. I thought the unicorn is strong and gentle.

Finally, it is about the strawberry unicorn. I like this story the best of three. Farmer Jack was very worried about his strawberries. The strawberries needed water, but it is dirty and smells bad. One day, he found there was a unicorn, right in the middle of the strawberries. To my surprise, the unicorn's body became pink! I thought it was very cute! I suppose the unicorn loves strawberries. The unicorn has drunk that water. At that time its horn made the whole stream clear and sweet. The horn has miracle power! This book was so interesting. Please read it!
