     This is a fairy tale. It is meant to be silly. It is about two unicorns of course
one is good and the other bad. Its part of a writing exercise.

A Fractured Fairy Tale

In Ancient Greece, along a  humble village by the sea, lived two
Proud Unicorns. One was black with a white horn growing
out of the middle of his forehead. His name was Demetrius
and he was a rather itchy young unicorn.

The other unicorn was pure white and had a golden horn growing out of the middle of his forehead. His name was Glitter and he was
stuck on himself.

One day Demetrius got the "itch" to write something grand!

He galloped fast and furious over to the library
and spent many hours pouring over writing books and wrote
thoughtful thoughts in his copybook.

When he arrived at the stable to show Glitter what he
had produced, Glitter just sneered at him.

"You can't do that! You don't have the money to make
a real song!", Glitter declares and sparkles.

"Whoa! How dare you crush my dream of being a songwriter! I shall and I will! Just wait and see, you smug unicorn!", Demetrius said proudly as he gallops back to the library
to compose some more jingles.

"Fat chance!", said Glitter as he went back to clipping coupons
for the big sale at the diamond mine. He shines his horn
and looks in the mirror at his own reflection.

"Ah, you handsome unicorn you!", Glitter shouts out loud as he

throws lots of glitter all over himself proudly.

Back at the library, Demetrius' jingle is taking shape. He
hums the tune out loud and soon all the women
are doing the twist.

"Sing it! Swing it!", they clap and urged Demetrius to
sing that jingle with attitude!!"

Demetrius  belts out a tune from his heart...

It went something like this...

And a one, two , three...now you cats...or unicorns know

that the twelve days of Christmas was not an easy gig...

My new twelve days of cool will be something

really big...

"Wow!", swoon the women as they dance to the jingle.

"Oh if I were into unicorns, I would not be a swinging single!"

"Sing it!, Demetrius, Swing it!! Show us your stuff! They throw

dollars at him! Snapping their fingers and dancing!"



On the first day of Cool , the teacher got a flat.

Imagine that! So she found one angry white horse and lassooed it right

away.


On second day of Cool, the teacher got to school .

What a fool! So she found two children's books, One white

horse with an attitude and a lasso around his neck.


On the third day of Cool, the teacher smiled alot. I guess

She forgot she found three grapefuit, two children's books and

one white horse that was pissed off and began shouting

 because the lasso hurt his neck.

 

"I want coins!!", the horse demands. "Throw some my way!"


On the fourth day of Cool, the teacher taught at school. I guess

that's her job! She found four plastic bracelets, three pink

grapefuit, two children's books and one white horse that was

quite rude and started to cuss at everyone.


On the fifth day of Cool, the teacher got paid. Is this a

sick joke? I want real cash!!! Not five pounds of cheese, four

plastic bracelets, three pink grapefruit, two children's books

and one white horse that was pissed off and yanked off the lasso.


On the sixth day of Cool, the teacher made a rule, No cheese on

Friday!! So, she called Glitter on the telephone and said

I have a present for you! Come on over!! Glitter gallops over

and he got six pounds of bright red delicous apples, five pounds of cheese, four plastic bracelets, three pink grapefruits, two children's books  and a very pissed off horse that had no change.



On the seventh day of Cool, the teacher made a rule. "Be not

Greedy as Greed is not Good. Therefore, Glitter went to the corner!

On the floor he found Seven buckets of copper pennies, six pounds of

shiny delicous red apples , five pounds of cheese, four plastic bracelets,

three pink grapefruits, two children's books and one very, very pissed


off white horse!!


By this time, Demetrius had the whole place humming, Even Glitter

  liked all the apples and doing the twist with the

women ,  but then there was a crash and  the pissed off horse jumped

through the window , taking all the buckets of pennies and laughing all 

all the way to the bank...

 

"Coins!! Bright shiny copper coins!! They are mine!! All mine!!",

the white horse's voice echoes throughout the village square on the way

to the bank. Unfortunately for the white horse, he did not have a

bank account and he was doomed to carry his coins around with him

forever because no apple store would accept the penny.




Glitter looks in his mirror and smiles..

"Mirror, mirror in my hand. Ain't I the catch of all this land?"

The Mirror laughs out loud...

"Honey, you ain't even close...For Demetrius has the jingle

and the babes, and he is one hot single Unicorn...He has

the voice , he has the cool, he rules the school!!!


So, the moral of the story is that

no matter how good you think you are...

You ain't that good.

Like they say

 

"All that Glitters

is not Gold...

You may have the

Cash and Bling...

But Demetrius has

the voice and he sure

can sing!!
