1In a valley of tall silver grass lived a young unicorn named Luna. Luna loved the daytime, when everything was bright and easy to see. But when night came, the dark made her tummy feel wobbly.
2"I don't like the dark," Luna told her mother. "I can't see where anything is." Her mother nuzzled her softly. "Let's take a little walk, and I'll show you a secret about the dark."
3They stepped out under the deep blue sky. At first Luna kept her eyes shut tight. But her mother said gently, "Open them slowly. The dark is not empty. It is full of quiet things."
4Luna opened her eyes. High above, a thousand stars were blinking, like tiny friends waving hello. She had never seen them in the bright daytime.
5"The stars only come out in the dark," said her mother. "If it were always bright, you would never meet them." Luna watched the stars, and felt a little braver.
6Then Luna noticed something else. The tip of her own horn was glowing, a soft warm light, like a small moon she could carry with her wherever she went.
7"That light was always inside you," her mother said. "It shines its best when the world goes quiet and dark." Luna lit the path ahead with her gentle glow, and the dark did not feel so wobbly anymore.
8That night, Luna curled up in the silver grass. She let her horn glow softly beside her and watched the stars blink above. The dark was not something to fear, she understood. It was where the quiet, beautiful things lived. Goodnight, Luna. Goodnight.
