The three minorities
Once upon a time there was a unicorn, a black panther, and a chihuahua.
The unicorn built a house that was made of his freedom, while the black panther built his house that was made of his hopes. They built their houses very quickly and then sang and danced all day because they were done quickly. The chihuahua worked hard all day and built his house that was made of his dreams.
An elephant saw the unicorn and the black panther while they danced and played and thought, “What good workers they will make to build my wall!” He chased the unicorn and the panther and they ran and hid in their houses. The elephant went to the first house and huffed and puffed and blew the house down in minutes; taking away the unicorn’s freedom. The frightened unicorn ran to the panther’s house that was made of his hopes. The elephant now came to this house and huffed and puffed and blew the house down in hardly any time; therefore ruining his hopes. Now, the unicorn and the panther were terrified and ran to the chihuahua’s house that was made of dreams.
The elephant tried to huff and puff and blow the house down, but he could not. He kept trying for hours but the house was very strong and the unicorn, the panther, and the chihuahua were all safe . He tried to enter through the window but the chihuahua quickly closed the window on the elephant causing him to get stuck and eventually giving up at trying to ruin the animals lives. The unicorn and the panther felt sorry for building their houses so quickly. All 3 of them decided to upgrade their houses by building them with their hopes, their dreams and their freedom; they wouldn’t let anyone, not even a controlling elephant ruin those 3 things for them.
The animals used represent 3 groups:
The LGBT community(unicorn) , the aferican american community(panther) and immigrants(chihuahua).
The elephant represents the president of the united states(elephant).
