Orange & Purple Panda Bears

By Madi Prouty

There once was a planet far out in the galaxy. This planet was home to lots of panda bears, but not

just any panda bears, they were orange and purple panda bears. The planet was never named,

so they just called it Planet Purple.

There was one panda whose name was Bo. Bo was orange and purple, just like all of the other pandas. Bo loved to explore. He

was always wondering around Planet Purple.

“Hi, I’m Bo!”

Bo would find strange rocks, or flowers. One time, he found a long stem with lots of colored

flowers on it, but when he tried to show the other pandas what he had discovered, they just ignored him. Bo wanted to stand out, he wanted

to be different from the others.

One day Bo was exploring a small forest, far from his house. He was walking around when he stumbled upon a rock. Not just any rock, this

rock had every color on it and it was sparkling in the light.

He picked up the rock and felt it’s smooth features. The rock started to shake, and then

right before him a figure appeared. It resembled a llama, but it was a strange pink color, and had a narrow horn on it’s head.

The horse like figure started to talk, “Hola! I am a llamcorn. A cross between a llama and a unicorn. My name is

Cupcake. You found this magical rock that I was trapped in.” Bo stood, speechless. Cupcake continued “To thank

you for releasing me from inside that rock, I will grant you one wish. It can be anything you want.”

“My name is Cupcake!”

Bo thought about what he could wish for. “I want to stand out from the other pandas, I want to be different.” Cupcake looked at Bo and then spoke

up “Very well then, you may have your wish”

“Very well then, you may

have your wish.

The unicorn closed his eyes and said something that Bo couldn’t understand. Then, he looked up at Bo, “There you are, now you are different from the other pandas.”

Bo was confused, he didn’t feel different. And that’s when he saw it, his reflection in a small puddle.

“Now you are different from the other pandas”

Bo had a unicorn horn, just like cupcake did! He loved it, and couldn’t wait to show all of the other

pandas! Bo thanked Cupcake, and quickly returned home.

“Thank you so much!”

All of the pandas gathered around him, complimenting his new feature. The pandas were jealous of Bo and his uniqueness,

they all wanted to be different.
