I got in line at the Canyon Lodge registration desk. I was there for the second time to let them know the refrigerator was not working. A man stepped in beside me and asked if this was the right line to check in. I told him yes, and we talked a little bit while waiting our turn. As we chatted, to my amazement, all of a sudden a young Unicorn came up and greeted me. Well, the Unicorn actually tried to scare me. The Unicorn, in another universe, might have been a girl of about four years old, but it was clear, based on the single horn coming out of her forehead, and a pink-toned outfit being worn, that she was a Unicorn. I told her, “For a moment, I thought you were a young girl trying to frighten me. Now I see, you are a Unicorn, and all of the Unicorns I have ever met have been nice to me. Every single one! So, I know that you are not trying to frighten me, because you are a nice Unicorn.”
She laughed, but she wasn’t buying it. She continued to make “scary” sounds, raised her hands as if to hit me in the stomach or on my side or in the legs. As she did this, I told her that Unicorns have magic smiles, and I could see this in her smile, too, so she must be a Unicorn. “You must be out to make people happy!” I told her in an animated voice. She smiled back a very large smile.
Then it was my turn in line, and we parted company. But, after taking care of my business, as I turned to leave, I saw my little Unicorn, now standing next to her Mom. I told her, as I passed by them, how nice her magical smile was. I could hear her laughing as I headed out the door.
