A unicorn, named Sparkles, decides to enter a local dance competition. The prize? A year's supply of rainbow sherbet. Sparkles, being a sherbet enthusiast, was determined to win.
He arrives at the competition, and the other unicorn contestants are practicing elaborate routines. There's one doing a complicated hoof-tap routine, another doing a graceful, flowing ballet, and even one attempting a synchronized swimming routine, despite the distinct lack of water.
Sparkles, feeling confident in his "sparkle-shuffle," takes his place. He does a few fancy prances, a little horn wiggle, and a dramatic leg kick. He's feeling good.
Then, a new unicorn enters the stage. This unicorn is wearing neon leg warmers, a sequined horn cover, and is holding a boombox. It starts breakdancing. Doing head spins, flips, and even a robot dance. The crowd goes wild.
Sparkles, his jaw dropped, watches in stunned silence. The judge, a very serious badger with a clipboard, is scribbling furiously.
After the performance, Sparkles approaches the breakdancing unicorn, "That was incredible! Where did you learn to dance like that?"
The unicorn shrugs, "I used to be a show horse. I just stuck a party hat on my head and took a breakdancing class. Also, the leg warmers help with the knee spins."
