Description:

What’s worse than failing a test? Becoming friends with a unicorn, accusing it of cheating at foosball, then losing its magical friendship forever. That’s a huge bummer. Herbie, if you’re watching, we’re still sorry about that. But, uh, cheating is pretty bad, too. So don’t do that, either.
