Once upon a time, in a lush green meadow, Amanda spotted something sparkling near the woods.
As she got closer, she saw a group of unicorns, their manes glittering under the sun.
The largest unicorn, with a golden horn, stepped forward. 'I am the Unicorn Queen,' she said.
Amanda was amazed. She had heard stories about the unicorns but never believed they were real.
'We need your help, Amanda,' said the queen. 'A decision must be made about our forest's future.'
The forest was divided by a stream which had dried up, and the animals on either side were quarreling.
'We can use magic to fix the stream,' said the Queen, 'but it will drain our powers for a year.'
'Without our magic, we cannot protect the forest from dangers,' the Queen looked worried.
Amanda thought hard. 'There might be another way to bring water to the stream,' she suggested.
With the unicorns' help, Amanda started building a new path for the water using stones and logs.
After days of hard work, a trickle of water started flowing. The forest animals cheered in joy!
The Queen smiled at Amanda. 'Your wisdom has saved our forest and preserved our magic,' she said gratefully.
