Vivi And The Rainbow

Once Upon A Time, in a magical land of flowers and trees, lived a pink unicorn named Vivi. Her mane and tail were yellow and orange, and her hoofs were purple. Although she had all the gifts in the world, love, family, food, and a beautiful house made of leaves, poor Vivi had an unfulfilled dream. She wanted nothing more in the world than to visit the kingdom of rainbows.

Her parents told her stories about this magical kingdom before bed every night. They told her about the rivers of colored water…flowing gently day and night. The trees with leaves of all kinds of colors…red, blue, yellow, green, purple, white, orange, and many more. Vivi dreamed about the grounds of the kingdom of rainbows, always covered with leaves of all these colors. But the most beautiful part of these stories that had made Vivi’s little heart restless was the magical rainbows. They were everywhere in the kingdom…arched over the rivers…decorating the sky…and passing through the clouds. They were magical because you could walk on them!

Vivi, the pink unicorn, had made it her life’s utmost desire to gallop across these magical rainbows. She saw herself doing so in her dreams at night…during the day when she didn’t have anything to do…and while doing something boring that left her mind free. Day and night, Vivi thought about the magical rainbows and what it would be like to gallop across them. But poor Vivi did not know how she would fulfill her dream of visiting the kingdom of rainbows. And this made her sad…more and more with every passing day.

Holding this sadness in her little heart, Vivi sat by the stream near her house. She stared at the flowing water, looking at her reflection. There were no signs of any happiness on her face. Anyone looking at her could tell that Vivi, the pink unicorn, was sad as one can be. But her luck was about to change…

“You are the prettiest yet saddest unicorn I have ever seen! Tell me, what aches your little heart?” said the sweetest voice Vivi had ever heard.

Looking up, she saw a butterfly…with rainbow-colored striped wings. The pink unicorn’s heart jumped with joy; she had never seen anything as beautiful as the butterfly’s wings.

“Hello, the butterfly with wings like a rainbow. My name is Vivi, and I am sad because I do not know how to go to the kingdom of magical rainbows. What is your name?” said Vivi.

“I am Fifi. Nice to meet you, Vivi. And let me say, today is your lucky day! I can take you to the kingdom of magical rainbows in a blink! All you need to do is to close your eyes,” said Fifi, the butterfly with rainbow wings.

Vivi could not believe her ears. She thought that Fifi was playing an amusing trick on her. But instead of saying anything, Vivi closed her eyes and waited for the joke. Fifi flapped her beautiful wings and started to circle Vivi…flying around and round the pink unicorn. Suddenly, something happened that made Vivi realize that this was no trick. The pink unicorn felt her body becoming lighter and lighter…as if she was turning into a feather. Opening her eyes, Vivi saw…the kingdom of magical rainbows!

It was just as her parents had described it! Vivi saw the colored rivers arched by rainbows. The ground was indeed covered with leaves of all kinds of colors. The trees had colored canopies…in blue, yellow, pink, purple, and more colors than Vivi could name. The pink unicorn’s little heart danced with happiness. She ran on her four legs fast as she could go…exploring the magical kingdom. There were other butterflies like Fifi, flying over flowers.

Eventually, Fifi caught up with Vivi. The pink unicorn did not have enough words to thank the kind butterfly, who had finally put Vivi’s heart at peace. Fifi said that Vivi’s strong desire had brought sadness into the kingdom of magical rainbows. And all the butterflies had decided to help Vivi achieve her dream so that happiness could once more spread through the kingdom of magical rainbows.

“Thank you so much, Fifi. I have never been this happy!” said Vivi.

“My pleasure, Vivi. But the best part of your visit to our magical homeland remains to be seen. Come with me,” said Fifi.

And so, Vivi and Fifi traveled along a river with pink-colored water. Vivi was excited…she wondered what surprise awaited her at the river’s end. Soon, the moon came out, glowing softly in the sky. The river ended in the distance…its pink water falling over a cliff. Beyond the cliff were the ordinary world of green trees and blue rivers. At the river’s end, Vivi saw something she had dreamed about ever since her parents started telling her stories of the kingdom of magical rainbows.

A rainbow stairway rose from the river’s end and the cliff’s edge…glowing as if it was made of light! Up and up it went…its other end lost in the fluffy clouds above. Vivi jumped in the air and said thank you to Fifi more times than she could count. Saying goodbye to the butterfly with the rainbow wings, Vivi started galloping towards the glowing rainbow stairway.

Clippity-Clop…Clippity-Clop…Clippity-Clop…Clippity-Clop…went her hooves as she reached the base. Without a moment’s hesitation, Vivi experienced her dreams turning into reality. The air rushed past Vivi as she went higher and higher along the rainbow stairway. Her lovely mane fluttered like a curtain caught in the wind. All the sadness was completely gone from Vivi’s heart…she knew she would remember that night for the rest of her life.

Finally, once she reached the clouds, Vivi saw that the rainbow stairway ended on a magical cloud that glowed like the moon. Carefully, she placed a hoof over the cotton ground. And just like the rainbow, she found that she could walk on the cloud!

The world was beyond beautiful as Vivi saw over the cloud’s edge. The fluffy ground beneath her hooves was so soft that sleep overcame Vivi’s eyes. Yawning and stretching, she smiled and curled on the cloud in a comfortable position. And so, under the stars and the moonlight, Vivi, the pink unicorn, fell asleep.
