Ursula The Unicorn

This is a narrative story about a unicorn named Ursula who lives a life that she is very unhappy with. This story was made for my language arts class.


Ursula the unicorn was a caring, honest, and loyal unicorn. When Kenneth the donkey got tired of hauling his cart around, Ursula was there. Or when her and Martha the lizard (who thought she was a chameleon) would play hide and seek, Ursula would always pretend not to see her even though she was as obvious as a light up neon sign. Now Ursula might not be happy, but hey, she’s a unicorn and she has duties to fulfill.

It was a sunny morning in July and Ursula got up and did her usual routine. Wake up, make breakfast for the lazy animals, pull Kenneth’s apple cart, play games with the school kids, and so on. Ursula absolutely hated her life, everything about it! You may be thinking “How could a Unicorn hate their life?” well here’s the answer, Ursula was an Ugly Unicorn.


All of Ursula’s ugliness started when she was only three years old, at the age of three she was the hottest unicorn you would have ever seen, and too bad she had a terrible personality. So she was expelled and home schooled, and oh how Ursula hated being home schooled! So she got an attitude adjustment, a big one at that. The nicer she became the uglier she got, the uglier she got the more she hated her life. But she couldn’t go back to her old grumped up life. So that brings us to where we are today because apparently unicorns can either be pretty and mean, or nice and ugly.

While leading her exercise class for the pigs that afternoon, Ursula snapped. She went ballistic! Yelling and screaming, sweatbands and dumbbells were flying everywhere! This sad unicorn had finally realized she hated being nice and that she needed to live her own life. So off she went, destroying everything in her sight, dissing anyone she saw. How sad all of Ursula’s so called friends got, thinking that it was their fault her life had been ruined (which I guess it kind of was).

The very next morning Ursula got up as a completely different Unicorn, and it wasn’t in a good way. That day, it was her goal to be the nastiest unicorn that this whole city had ever seen. Her goal was achieved within the first hour of her morning, which especially saddened Martha when Ursula found her right after “here I come!” came out of her mouth. So off she went to live her sinful life.

Sadly enough (for Ursula at least) the meaner she got, the prettier she got, and the prettier she got the more she loved herself. But prettier and prettier Ursula got until she got to the point where she was so pretty she was ugly, which wouldn’t have been bad if she had a good personality but now she had neither. Poor Ursula now had nothing, not even her parents would talk to her after she that they were lucky to have each because no else could ever love them. Something had to be done.

Persevering to be nice again just to have her old life back, Ursula went. Being nice again because she knew that if she had to be ugly and unhappy she could at least be nice while doing it.

After apologizing to everybody she went back to her normal ways of kindness. Now, of course Ursula was unhappy, but sometimes you just have to suck it up. When life hands a unicorn lemons she will either give them to poor orphans or squirt the juice into the eyes of passing bikers.
