Despite its worldwide fame, there are those who believe there are no more unicorns. One reason people give for their disappearance is that when Noah built the Ark, the unicorns didn’t make it on board, either because they were too large, or too silly—playing games and frisking about until Noah couldn’t wait any longer.
Others think they were simply hunted into extinction.
Still others believe that the unicorns left when the world became less sympathetic to the old magic, fleeing to someplace better suited to their strange beauty.
Saddest of all are those who believe there never were any unicorns to begin with.
Where did they come from, where have they gone, were they ever here at all?
The truth is, no one knows for certain.
But here’s what I believe; wherever they may have come from, unicorns live inside the true believer’s heart. As long as we can dream, there will be unicorns.
–Bruce Coville, "The Lore Of the Unicorn," The Unicorn Treasury.
I’d love to see one, too!
I promis I won’t freak out ;P

Peace.
Posted by Ozy at April 22, 2008, 12:19 pmto prove their existence is just a reassurance for us that it is alright to dream on and believe that our dreams will come true someday… facts or no facts, guard that unicorn in your heart. what you believe in will let it live or let it die. let your faith waver not. never allow anyone to burst that bubble and steal your smile.
Speaking of unicorns, if may makita naman kayong pendant na unicorn, paki-email ako. Salamat.
