Hannah's Sparkling Unicorn Bridge

In the middle of an Enchanted Forest, where mushrooms bounced like tiny trampolines and the air smelled of honey toast, lived a girl named Hannah. Hannah loved to imagine and build more than anything. Every day, she would gather colourful moss, sparkly pebbles, and twisty twigs to build tiny stables and castles, always dreaming they were for her favourite magical friends: beautiful pink unicorns with horns that glittered like a thousand tiny stars.

One sunny afternoon, while building a mossy unicorn playground, Hannah heard a tiny, sad chirp. It was a little kookaburra named Kiki, who was looking sadly across the Giggling Creek. "G'day, Hannah," he sniffled. "I can't get to the other side for my yummy gum-nut brekkie! The creek is just too wide for my little wings to fly across." The creek burbled and chuckled, not knowing it was causing a problem.

Hannah looked at Kiki and then at the creek. "I'll build you a bridge!" she declared. First, she found a big, strong gum leaf and laid it across the water. But when Kiki hopped on, the leaf went wibble-wobble... SPLASH! It sank right into the middle, getting Kiki's tiny feet all wet. Hannah felt a little bit grumpy. Building was usually so much fun, but this was tricky.

She sat down with a sigh, but then she closed her eyes and thought of her favourite pink unicorn. She imagined its strong, curved, sparkling horn. Suddenly, her eyes popped open! She saw a long, curved branch lying nearby, covered in shiny morning dew. It looked just like a unicorn horn! With a big effort, she pushed the branch over the Giggling Creek. It was strong, sparkly, and perfect. Kiki hopped across, safe and dry!

Kiki was so happy, he shared his delicious gum-nut berries with Hannah, and all the forest animals cheered for her wonderful unicorn bridge. Hannah smiled, realising her amazing imagination wasn't just for dreaming. The magical unicorns in her head could help her build real, helpful things for her friends. And from that day on, the Giggling Creek had the sparkliest, most magical bridge in the whole forest.
