Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 19, 2013
Transcript:
Phoebe: What's older? Unicorns, or stars? Marigold: Stars. In ancient times, unicorns were very jealous of the stars, with all their shining and twinkling. And no unicorn was more jealous than Kind Sprinkle the Thunderous. Eventually, he could stand it no longer, and ordered his subjects to charge at the stars, horns first. History would come to know it as the Great Anticlimactic Hop. Phoebe: History would be my favorite subject if unicorns wrote the textbooks.

If Phoebe wants to read from a big book of improbable historical fantasy then there is a book known as the Bible.

It took me some time to realize it said Thunderous and not Thunderolis.

….and then King Sprinkle’s loyal subjects grew angry, and charged towards him——- and the end of his reign was anticlimactic as well.

King Sprinkle looks strangely like King Sombra from FIM.
