Unbelievable Unicorn

After a steaming cup of tea, both Lily and her father went to the garden with a huge bag of clay to build the unicorn. "How big you want your unicorn to be Lily "dad asked. "As big as the size we could sit and ride on it dad "replied Lily." We can try "said Dad. Then an idea struck in his mind. "How about we use my magic Spell to make the unicorn fly "he asked after being a famous magician for years. "Brilliant idea Dad Bravo" exclaimed Lily with excitement. "Remember we haven't started a pinch of building the Unicorn, "said dad while giggling, seeing the very excited face of Lily

Unicorn in the making

"First we have to start making the face. Roll a ball of clay and detail it with horns, neck and a nose "instructed dad. Lily rolled up a clay ball and detailed it as instructed by her dad, but was messed up with clay all over her dress. "Finished "said Lily. "Now the body" said dad. After giving the instructions to make the body of unicorn. "No too skinny". "Too fat ","just right "corrected dad while Lily made the body. "Completed "said Lily after finishing the unicorn body

Almost There:

After finishing the clay print." I will now chant the magic spell. Fly high rise into the Sky" he chanted and taught it to Lily. "Chant this spell to make the unicorn go up and down "down down land on the ground" to make it land "Dad said and taught Lily a few more spells to control the directions of Unicorn. "In the Evening when the clay model becomes stiff, we can go to the market and buy the paint, which we need to paint the unicorn "he said '' Yahooo!! I can't wait " said Lily steaming with excitement

Paint all over: 

In the Evening after buying the paint cans "Let's start painting but we should first wear an old dress because we may get paint all over our cloths "said Dad. After wearing the old cloths, "It's up to your choice Lily, Call me if you need any help "said dad and went inside leaving the Diaz to Lilly. Lily started painting and she painted the body white, horn pink, and nose light brown, tail multi-color pattern, hooks on the legs light brown and added some designs and even added glitter for shine. "Finished" Lily shouted in delight after painting the Unicorn. "Fantastic! Bravo! "Said dad and mom when they saw the completed Unicorn. "We will let it dry over the night and Tadhaaa! We have our unicorn Finished "Said mom
