Pie Corbett models a magical instruction text Elf-care PROFESSIONALS D o you have a baby unicorn to look after? Are you wondering how on Earth you will manage to take good care of such a precious animal? Fear not. Read these instructions and you will be able to care for your pet and enjoy seeing it develop into one of the most remarkable creatures on Earth. What you need: Living quarters, a soft blanket, shade, a water bowl and edible flowers, some grass and leaves plus plenty of kindness. What to do First, find a comfortable space for your unicorn so that it cannot escape and get into danger. Next, provide a soft blanket for your unicorn to sleep on and make sure there is a shaded area, preferably with leaves as unicorns live in forests. After that, talk to your unicorn and stroke it gently, because they like nothing more than human contact. Also, provide regular water, because unicorns become thirsty. They also need fresh leaves, grass and edible flowers as a basic diet. This will result in a healthy unicorn. Furthermore, exercise your pet daily by taking it outside to trot around. However, be very careful that there are no dogs or cats about that might result in frightening your baby unicorn. Moreover, make the time to play with your pet otherwise it might pine away. Finally, sing to your pet and if you are lucky, it may dance for you! Unicorns make wonderful pets but eventually will outgrow any house. Consequently, you will have to release your pet into the wild. This will be a sad day, but if you have treated it well then it will return. Unicorns are faithful to those who treat them kindly.
