Dear Eiley and Margot,
Sofia, Daniel and I have lots of fun imagining and playing together. Recently, we developed this story about Magical Creature Land. We thought you might enjoy reading it or acting it out, so we're sharing it with you hear, in installments, so you can get excited to find out what will happen next. We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we did!
Love,
Sofia, Daniel and Zoe
Magical Creature Land:
Part 1
Once upon a time, there was a purple unicorn named Unicorn
Purple Sky. She entered the land of humans, called Earth.
Unicorn Purple Sky had been born as
a selkie (a human that becomes a seal in water), but a star monster did not like selkies, so it turned her into a unicorn.
She missed her selkie life so much. She at least wanted to see a selkie.
She ran through the forests of
earth until she was spotted by a kind young girl who befriended her. The young
girl, Green Grass Sweet discovered her new friend was no ordinary horse, she
was a unicorn!
Unicorn Purple Sky invited Green
Grass Sweet into Magical Creature Land, where she was queen. She explained that
in her land, she had the power to transform Green Grass Sweet into a selkie if
she wished. Green Grass Sweet had always wanted to live in the sea, so she
eagerly agreed.
Waving her wand, Unicorn Purple Sky
brought them into Magical Creature Land. The sky was purple. The sea was black.
The grass was yellow.
Selkies and unicorns fed on the
yellow grass, which tasted like lemon. The grass helped the unicorns produce a
healing tea that tasted like peach and was poured out of their horns.
Unicorn Purple Sky warned Green
Grass Sweet of the star monsters before she entered the sea and became a
selkie. They appeared as creature constellations in the night sky. But when it
began to rain, the weight of the water brought the star monsters down, riding
on rain drops.
Star monsters do not like selkies
who can explore the sea freely while they are confined to the sky. So they try
to catch selkies on land and trap them there by transforming them into
unicorns, which they believe are more beautiful.
Unicorn Purple Sky suddenly stopped
and became silent. Her horn also worked as a radio antennae, and when she heard
a beautiful song come through to her head, she would flap her wings, amplifying
the music, and begin to dance along. Green Grass Sweet also loved the music
coming from her new friend’s wings, so she joined into the dance.
Out from the forest emerged a tiny
adorable dragon, attracted by the music. Without a word, but with a great
smile, he joined the dance as well. After all their delightful dancing, they
took a rest and introduced themselves to each other. The dragon’s name was
Beebee.
“I’m hungry after all that
dancing!” cried Beebee. Knowing how much dragon’s love gold, Unicorn Purple Sky
and Green Grass Sweet gathered together a picnic of yellow grass for
themselves, golden cheddar crackers for Beebee, and healing peach tea from the
alicorn, sweetened with golden honey for them all.
“Uh oh!” cried Unicorn Purple Sky.
Drip. Drop. Drip. It was beginning to rain. In all the fun of their dancing, a
picnic and new friend, they had forgotten about the danger of the star
monsters.
To be continued . . .
