The legend of the unicorn

The legend of the unicorn

This is an English story.

This story tells us how Rhiannon had to look for truffles for the king because he had taken her parents to the castle.

One afternoon she was walking around the forest looking for truffles and saw a little white horse with a small lump. It was a unicorn! The unicorn helped her to find the truffles because he recognized where they were by their smell. When Rhiannon got out of the forest with the basket full of truffles some men asked her “How did you find the truffles?” and she answered “My little white horse friend helped me”. The next afternoon they saw and tried to catch him, because they wanted to pay less tax to Sir Brangwyn, but they couldn’t. 

Sir Brangwyn heard about the white horse and sent his knights to look for him but it was impossible to find him. Sir Brangwyn was so angry and hungry because he wanted those truffles so much that he decided to catch the little horse on his own. He used Rhiannon to distract the unicorn with her songs, but she was not able to sing because she felt horrible. When the unicorn appeared, Sir Brangwyn jumped from the bushes and ran to capture the unicorn but suddenly his parents appeared and killed him with their lumps.

Now that Sir Brangwyn is dead, his son is the king of the village. He is a very kind man and refuses to accept the taxes, so everybody lived happily forever.

I would recommend you this story if you like suspense.
