Thanks for sharing! Here’s a preview of the story by “CBS Mornings” lead national correspondent David Begnaud:

>Seven-year-old Madeline, who lives in California, is obsessed with unicorns. It's their magical horn that makes them so special, she says, noting, "It grants you magic wishes if you ask."
>
>She likes them so much she wanted one of her own, and wrote to her county's animal control department asking for permission to have one in her backyard — if she could find one.
>
>Last month, Los Angeles County officials agreed, and issued her the first-of-its-kind unicorn license.
>
>"I think I've learned if you want something, then you have to ask for it," Madeline told CBS News. "And to ask for it, you have to do something to ask for it."
>
>Fascination with unicorns dates back to ancient times. The mythical creature is the real national animal of Scotland. In Celtic mythology, it is a symbol of purity, innocence and power.
>
>Madeline has been smitten with unicorns since she was 3 and can tell you anything you want to know, including how to take care of one. It's important to make sure they can see rainbows, sunlight and moonbeams, she said, "so I'm going to make the barn have a glass roof."
>
>She also knows where unicorns live: "In the magical forest of Scotland."
>
>But Madeline has never been to Scotland. So, how does she plan to get her unicorn?

I'm sorry... this is the Uplifting News subreddit, right? You're acting like they murdered your whole family with this news story that is fluffy, sure, but also uplifting and cute. I'm really confused by the backlash, as it's exactly what this subreddit was designed for.
