In a magical forest, there was an invisible unicorn named Bella. No one could see her, which made walking through the forest hard because she might bump into other animals. One day, Bella heard a small squirrel crying for help because it was stuck on a tree branch.

Bella decided to play a trick on the squirrel using her power of invisibility. She poked it with her horn, and the scared squirrel jumped down to the ground. Then Bella showed herself, and they laughed together.

Bella became best friends with the squirrel, named Sammy. They went on exciting adventures and found secret places in the forest, like a hidden waterfall where they played. Bella was happy with Sammy but wished others could see her too.

One day, they found a meadow where flowers talked and butterflies sang. A wise owl named Ollie lived there. Bella told Ollie she wanted to be seen, so he took them to a magic pond.

At the pond, Ollie said special words and threw magic dust on Bella. She became visible, shining like a light. Bella was so happy that everyone could see her, and she learned that friends care about you, not how you look. Bella and her new friends had lots more fun in the forest, and Bella felt loved and happy.
