Introduction

Once upon a time there were two twin children who made a Piñata. They crafted it with love because their birthday was coming. The brother decided that it should be a horse, and the sister insisted on pink and purple. They built Gumdrop together as a true sign of their love for each other. The day finally came.

The mother took Gumdrop and filled it with candy, all while the other children began to arrive for the party. The twins were unaware of what was going to happen. Gumdrop was strung up from a tree, and one of the children was blindfolded and given a baseball, and so the game began.

With each swing, each miss, and blow, candy rained from the heavens. The twins were appalled. She cried, and her brother held her while their guests had their fun. A half hour later, once all the candy had been taken, the twins approached what remained of their creation, an empty husk of papier-mache and dreams. Their father approached them while they cried over the remains and gave them his gift, a simple yellow cone he claimed to have found outside.

"Fear not. If you believe in miracles, then a unicorn will never die." He told them as he placed the cone on the destroyed creature's head. He left the two children to mourn the loss of their creation. As they continued to cry, to their surprise, the limbs of the broken piñata began to move. "Gumdrop!?" The children cried out in shock and surprise. They did they only think they could think of to help his recovery, they fed him some of the candy from the table.

Realizing that if they kept Gumdrop, he would only be strung again for the cruel amusement of children, the twins decided the best they could do was release their creation into the world. Gumdrop, with a tear in his eye, thanks them for creating him and then dashes away on a rainbow.

Was this the wishful thinking of children to cope with the loss of their creation? You tell me. What's important is that there is a talking papier-mache unicorn in front of you who loves candy.
