From the author: This parable was written by me for one of my clients who came to me about the fear of starting a sexual life. Once upon a time I lived in the amazing country of a Princess. More than anything else, she loved to walk through the forest, which was not far from her home castle. What was there in that forest: pine trees smelling of amber resin, mighty century-old oaks, slender young birch trees grew interspersed... In countless clearings, fragrant strawberries and mushrooms grew in abundance. Mischievous hares frolicked here and there, and sometimes fox tails flashed with red flashes among the trees. The enchanting voices of strange birds were heard everywhere. The princess loved to leisurely walk along the path, and then sit for a long time on the shore of a forest lake, indulging in her deepest dreams. Sometimes deer appeared on the opposite bank. Their noble appearance stirred something in the very depths of her soul, and the thoughts in the Princess’s head began to get confused. The Princess had a wise Mentor who taught her all the wisdom and subtleties of government, because it was she who was destined to soon ascend the throne and rule her kingdom and people. And then one day the Mentor told the Princess that somewhere here, in the thicket of the forest that spreads around the castle, a Unicorn lives. The legend said that on a certain day in spring at dawn the Unicorn went out to the forest lake to admire the next princess, of whom he had seen many in his lifetime. But he never dared to approach any of them. From that day on, the young Princess began to dream of meeting the Unicorn. She often saw in her dreams how she was riding it somewhere into the distance. And where - she didn’t care, as long as it was breathtaking. As time passed, the Princess became more beautiful and wiser every day. And still invariably every day she came to the lake, hoping to see her dream there. One spring she decided to go out for a walk before dawn. Taking a torch with her, she quietly got out of the castle and hurried along a well-known path. It was getting light... She went out to the edge and froze, not believing her eyes: a little further away, the one about whom she had heard so much from the Mentor was walking leisurely and majestically. The snow-white silhouette stood out in contrast against the background of green grass. It was as if two stars were shining and beckoning his slightly sad eyes filled with wisdom. But this was not what struck the Princess most of all: her gaze was riveted on the huge beautiful golden horn that crowned the silhouette of the noble creature. The girl did not dare to move. She was afraid that any rustle could scare the Unicorn, and he would run away forever. The dawn sky brightened every minute... One of the first rays of the sun made its way through the crowns of the trees and fell directly on the golden horn, which seemed to burst into flames. As if obeying some unknown force, the Unicorn came close to the Princess and sat down next to her on the grass, inviting her to ride him. A little embarrassed, the girl smiled and carefully climbed onto the back of the beast, playfully ruffling its silky mane. The unicorn jumped to his feet with unprecedented ease and in one quick movement jumped out of the forest towards the rising sun. The dazzling light of the sun's rays enveloped them, and the Princess's snow-white dress acquired a crimson-scarlet hue. At a light trot they galloped off into the distance across endless meadows. The princess's fear gradually disappeared. She sat on the Unicorn's flexing back, hugging him tightly with her knees. The fresh morning wind blew in her face, throwing back her luxurious thick hair. From the rapid jump, the cheeks were flushed, and indescribable delight was visible in the eyes. ...Green meadows were now interspersed with small hills and shallow rivers. And then again there were expanses strewn with flowers... The princess lost track of time, she was so carried away by the race. It seemed to her that the Unicorn was simply tireless. With enviable ease, without slowing down, he flew up to the highest rock, and then, dragging the girl with him, quickly rushed down in the flow of a roaring waterfall. A moment later, pushing off from an invisible support,/
