Show & Tell: Narrative

I wasn't in class on Saturday, but I'm posting the Show & Tell I intended to share. My niece, Samantha, wrote an adorable story when she was 12 years old. She won all kinds of writing awards for it.

The Rainbow
Once upon a time there was a little sky horse who was the littlest of her kind. All the other sky horses had a horn and the humans called them Unicorns. The littlest did not have a horn so she looked like any other little horse. Her mother named her Uni not knowing she would not become a Unicorn. Uni felt very sad when all the other Unicorns laughed at her because she had now horn. One day a goddess named Iris came along and said that there were often droplets of water falling to Earth's surface caused by one of the sky horses. When she found out that it was Uni she said, "Uni, I will make a special path for you with special colors in it and I will call it a Rainbow. Every time somebody laughs at you a little sparkle will appear and it will move across the sky. You will run after it making a joyful Rainbow. This way down on Earth, people will have something to remember what to do but sometimes she forgot. One day several years later, Iris came back to Uni and said to her, "You did a wonderful job! Even though you forgot sometimes, people are beginning to be more joyful. I will grant you one wish." Uni wished to have a Unicorn horn but Iris did more than that, she gave her wings too! Now when water falls from the sky it is from tears of joy. Uni is so happy with her horn and wings that she will continue making rainbows forever and ever.
