This fact alone proves that can be no link whatsoever between the two creatures. For one thing, there is simply no sparkle about a horse. Some popular theories suggest that the unicorn is simply a distant relative of the horse although I would challenge anyone who had compared the two animals closely to truly assert this theory. In truth, it’s more than likely that we will never know the true answer. There’s quite a lot of debate amongst Professors of Magic and Mythology as to where unicorns originally came from. Once-upon-a-time it seems that the world was just a little bit more magical than it is today, and unicorns were much easier to find in those days. It would have been just as easy as walking down to your local pond and spotting a goose is today. In those days, looking for a unicorn would have been no challenge whatsoever. And that didn’t always go down well with the parents. In fact, there were so many of them about that they were actually considered a bit of a pest due to the amount of distraction they provided to the children of the very-olden-days.Īll too often the children, who should have been paying attention to their lessons or doing their jobs that their parents had asked them to do for the one-millionth-time, would be found asking the unicorns to do their favourite magic trick. A long time ago, in the very-olden-days, unicorns were a lot more commonplace than they are today.
