 Once upon a time during he 9th century there 

lived an evil king named Enchilada. He greedily 

ruled the land and was so unsympathetically 

evil that just for the fun of it he would tax the 

poor people so they can die from starvation. 

The rich and extremely poor lived on different 

sides of the kingdom.

On the poor side lived a cute, young peasant 

girl named Lilly. She had dirty blond hair down 

to her shoulder blades, and incredibly kind eyes 

that made everyone smile, even the king. Lilly 

was no ordinary girl, she was stubborn, strong, 

and very helpful. She lived with her father who  

was a very well respected man because he was 

the only farmer within the kingdom and he 

provided food for everyone in his village.  

 Although Lilly's home was tiny she did not 

mind it because it was next to the lovely, dark 

green forest.

 It all started like this, one day Lilly was 

walking home from school and decided to go 

play in the forest. While she was walking she 

noticed that she was surrounded by a bunch of 

trees hunched over her and that this was her 

favorite part of the forest. Then a gleam of sun 

light spotted a beautiful unicorn violently trying 

to get out of the pit of quick-sand. Lilly did not 

know what to do then she realized that she 

would have to hold the magic horse so she 

would not sink. 

Then she remembered that she had a rope not 

even two inches away from her arms, A.K.A 

her rope swing. She grabbed a thin nearby 

stick, ripped a loose thread from her dress, 

pulled out a unicorn flower decorated pocket 

knife, and securely tied the knife to the stick 

then cut the rope. She worked carefully trying 

not to scare nor hurt the unicorn or fall in 

herself. She tied the thinly threaded rope 

around the unicorn's torso to make a harness. 

With the remaining of the rope she tied it to a 

rock which was pretty

big and rolled it with all her might. Eventually 

the unicorn was able to walk up the sides of 

the pit of quick-sand. The poor unicorn was so 

scared of Lilly and Lilly did not want to put the 

unicorn in misery so instead of untying the 

rope she quickly cut it off the unicorn. Then 

the unicorn ran off in to the forest. Lilly felt 

good that she saved a unicorn, after all she 

never saved one before.

 Suddenly, Lilly heard her father yell her name in 

terror so she quickly ran to him, in fact she ran so fast 

that she was there within seconds. Lilly was so scared 

as she watched her father getting beat and arrested 

for not paying the taxes, she stared at him as he 

crucially got beat, blood and   screams filled the 

village. Her father yelled at her not to look at him, but 

she still did, she panicked and took out her pocket 

knife threatening the soldier in front of her. He 

furiously turned around and beat her, crushing her 

knife, and yelled "DO YOU WANT TO BE THROWN IN 

THE DUNGEON WITH YOUR FATHER AND BE STARVED 

TO DEATH? BECAUSE WE CAN MAKE 

ARRANGEMENTS", "NO" exclaimed Lilly. "I didn't think 

so replied the soldier!!!"    

  Most of the people in the village where trying to 

comfort Lilly, but others were thinking "How will we get 

food?" 

 After everyone left her house, Lilly ran into the forest 

and sat on a rock, starred at the pit of quick-sand, and 

she cried a puddle of salt water as she prayed and 

prayed for a miracle.

 Well this is weird she thought to herself, she felt as if 

she was being watched. She slowly and carefully 

turned around and to her amazement she saw the 

unicorn that she had just rescued, and on the side of 

her was a baby unicorn with a handlebar 

mustache.......WHAT? Things were getting very weird 

in this forest.
