Partnering With Parents 探究学习方法 | Math Skills 日常生活中提升数学小诀窍（幼儿园篇）

  “‘KABOOM!' The planets exploded into a million pieces,” I told the young unicorns. The tiny unicorns sitting in the classroom were wondering what happened when a baby unicorn asked, “Why did the planets explode?” “This is why I should tell you from the beginning,”  I answered, “Let me tell you what happened…”  

It all began 1,000 years ago when humans came to Earth. At this time, the unicorns were living happily on the beautiful Earth with trees, oceans and amazing landscapes. Everyday they ate leaves made of cotton candy, drank Coke from the streams and waterfalls, danced in the forests with butterflies made of butter,  and slept in a humongous hamburger. They also used jelly as a trampoline! They helped the animals to find food and natural habitats. The unicorns lived in harmony with the animals and protected them from their predators—humans.

  The humans were NOT nice to the animals. They kept killing them to eat and sold the animal skin and teeth to make money. They cut down the trees and polluted the air by building tons of factories. Luckily, the unicorns used their magic to protect Earth and the good humans that protected the Earth, as well. The bravest and kindest unicorn of all was Heavenly Sparkle Mane. She was the unicorn princess from Rainbow Island. Every unicorn wanted to be her because she was a hero! She had a pure white body, pink, blue and purple mane, a whitetail, and a golden horn made of real gold. She saved many unicorns from danger. She also took the colors from the unicorn planets to color Earth, which made the unicorn planets TP, Toilet, Slime and Vomit turn all black, white, and gray. The unicorn planets were where the unicorns got their powers from. The planet TP was where the dead humans lived, Toilet was a planet where they got the powers to cleanup, Slime was for making people smell good, and Vomit was to make someone or something sparkle. Lastly, Rainbow Island was where you could get any kind of magic you wanted -  you could even make up your own magic! Heavenly Sparkle Mane was so selfless that she used all of the planets to help Earth.

The unicorns were protecting the Earth secretly because the humans would hurt them if they found them. So, the humans didn’t know that the unicorns existed. One day, the unicorn babies were playing in the Coke river. They were playing horn tag in the reddish brownish river and talking to each other. One unicorn baby said, “The humans are so bad! They keep cutting down the trees!” “Yeah!” the other unicorns answered. “The humans will never find us!” “YEAH!” The unicorns screamed. But the Americans were doing an investigation in the forest, so they heard the unicorns scream. They ran to the river and saw the unicorns playing. The Americans whispered to each other, “What are they?” “I think they found us!” “They are going to kill us!!!” “RUN!!!” They ran for their dear lives and climbed the trees to get away from the unicorns. Finally, they reached the headquarters.

“We saw invaders from outer space and they were killing each other in a river made of human blood!” “AND they had scary red fur dyed with more human blood!” “Yeah! They also had a tail that was a chain!” “No! They had a super sharp horns with blood on them!” “There were so many of them! There were about five of them!” “They found us, but we ran away quickly.” "Some of our group is still in the forest!” “They must be dead!” They told the boss. The boss said, “Oh, OK. Tomorrow, I will go to see what is happening.”

     The next day, the boss ran into the woods trying to find the unicorns himself. When he saw the unicorns, he screamed so loud that the whole country could hear him. The workers dashed to him and couldn’t find him anywhere. What happened? The boss was so scared that he ran all the way to China in 1 minute.  He called his workers and said, “I wasn’t scared, OK? But we have to kill them all. Then we will be famous for saving the Earth and for protecting the humans from savage aliens.” “OK.” “Prepare 2,000,000,000,000 soldiers and 4,000,000,000,000 guns. Also prepare 4,000,000,000,000 bombs and bury them all over the country.” The humans prepared for 1 week. They dressed up in green, camouflage uniforms and hid inside the leaves with their guns. They waited all night and in the morning, they heard something. They shot at it so quickly that they didn’t even know what it was. They got out of their tree and saw it -  lying on the ground was a turtle. “What!? I thought it was a unicorn thing!” The workers were incredibly angry. They left the woods, and on their way out, they accidentally dropped the remote for the bombs. Unfortunately, the unicorns didn’t know that there were bombs in the woods when they found the remote. One unicorn pushed the button and “BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” The whole country exploded into a million pieces.

     The unicorns were terrified by the loud noise, so they hid on the planet Venus. That night, Heavenly Sparkle Mane had a weird dream... “I know what to do!” She said the next day, “We should go to Earth!” “What!? You are crazy! We will die!” “No, we won’t. We should help humans and do good things for them so they will know that we are not evil and let us live on Earth still!” “That’s a great idea! But what if there are bad guys that still want to kill us?” The unicorns said. “That’s a great question. We will protect the good humans and never protect the bad ones. The bad humans will never get good luck, and the good ones will always win.” “But how will we know who is good and who is bad?” One unicorn asked. “I will give all of you special magic to see who is good and who is bad.” The unicorns were very impressed by the idea, so they planned what to do all together.

     After the unicorns were ready, they sat on a uniship and sailed to Earth. On the ship, the unicorns were very nervous. They kept thinking about bad things and never thought about the good things. An hour later, Heavenly Sparkle Mane announced that they are close to Earth now and they must succeed. A while later, the unicorns got out of the ship and flew to different cities to start their awesome plan...

     In China, the unicorns learned how to speak Chinese and worked on the pollution problems; in America, the unicorns told the people to not cut down the trees; in Paris, the unicorns told the people to not throw the trash into the ocean; in Brazil, the unicorns made apartments for all the homeless people; in Cuba, the unicorns told the people to treat the animals equally.

     But there was one problem. Hawaii is a good place for vacation, right? So, the unicorns that were supposed to WORK there were surfing and drinking coconut water instead! So, the plan was not working perfectly anymore. Fortunately, Heavenly Sparkle Mane FIRED the unicorns "working" in Hawaii and hired new unicorns to work there. But how did the unicorns convince the people to do all of the good stuff? Well, the unicorns told people if they created laws and did all of the good things to help the Earth, then they would go to heaven.

     It was working so well when all of a sudden, an evil baby was born. (I thought of this because MeiMei always says: babies, babies everywhere!) He became an adolescent on the second he was born! He had evil magic and ruined the plan for the unicorns. He told the humans that no matter what they did, the unicorns would kill them all. So, the humans made four spaceships and went to the unicorn galaxy named the Unicorny Way. (Because the human galaxy is called the Milky Way) They put bombs under the planets TP, Toilet, Vomit, and Slime. There was good news for the unicorns, though - Rainbow island was NOT visible to the humans👍🏻 The humans planned for the planets to explode one hour after they arrived back to Earth. The explosion was going to happen at one o’clock. Tick tick tick tick, the clock kept ticking and ticking. The evil “baby” was watching the countdown. Five, four, three...    On Rainbow Island, the unicorns were playing happily when all of a sudden, they heard a loud “KABOOM!” Later that day, the unicorns found out that their planets had exploded.” I said sadly, “Now, only Rainbow Island exists in the Unicorny Way. Now only us unicorns know that we exist, but maybe in the future, the humans will rediscover us...”
