Unicorn Wings

The unicorn in this story can heal wounds with his horn. He can make rainbows. But what he really wants is to fly! So he sets off on a quest—past birds and butterflies—to find wings of his own. Then the unicorn meets a winged horse. The winged horse has injured his wing. Unicorn knows just what to do—he uses his magical horn to heal the horse. And then the unicorn’s dream comes true—he gets his own wings.
