Mike thanked the unicorn and stepped over to the watering hole. Bending down, he cupped his hands and drank in as much water as he could. He was surprised just how cool and clean it tasted, and how good that felt.
The unicorn nuzzled up to him as he finished, "You should rest, now," she said, "Tommorow is going to be long and hard."
Mike started to protest that it was still too early, but he felt unsteady on his hooves. His horse legs felt like they were almost tied to the ground, and he did feel bone tired. "Maybe you're right."
He settled to the forest floor next to the water. No sooner than he was comfortable did he fall asleep.
