Title: Unicorn Facts

Hey Lions, this
article
is about unicorns! So if your interested on them, keep reading.
Unicorns are described as a white horse with a spiraling, sharp horn
from it’s forehead, and it would sometimes have a goat’s beard and
hooves and a tail of a lion. Unicorn sightings have been around since a
long time. The first was about 5,000 years ago. Unicorns have always
been in poems, stories, fairy tales, and songs for centuries, and
because of that, young children believe in them. Most stories that
include them are of the Asian and European. In most cases, the unicorn
was a good sign and was said to have the ability to heal wounds. In
other stories, the unicorn would be confused for a pegasus, another
mythical creature that has the same body as a unicorn but it also has
wings and can fly. Unicorns were said to have mystical powers; one is
that it has an amazing strength, and it can tell the difference from
truth or false. Long ago, unicorns would be hunted for their horns,
which was said to give the person wearing it long life without illness
or disease. In ancient times, it was believed that it’s horn could take
out poison from food and drinks so people back then made cups out of
them, hoping that it will cure them. But then, there were no evidence
that they were made out of real unicorn horns. Other powers were that
unicorns could speak in your head if they were touching you, and that
if you drink their blood, you live forever. All those rumors made the
unicorns extinct because hunters would want their magical abilities for
themselves. If unicorns were even real, the human mind must be really
creative!
