    The Unicorn in the Garden Ьу James ТhurЬеr

    Once uроп а sulmy mоrпiпg а man who sat in а breakfast nook looked up frоm his
    scrambled eggs to see а white unicorn with а golden hоm quietly cropping the roses in the
    garden. The mап went up to the Ьеdrооm where his wife was still asleep and woke hеr.
    "There's а uпiсоrп in the garden," he said. "Eating roses." She opened one unfriendly еуе and
    looked at him.
    "The uпiсоrп is а mythical beast," she said, and tumed hеr back on him. The man
    walked slowly downstairs and out into the garden. The uпiсоrп was still there; now he was
    browsing among the tulips. "Неrе, unicorn," said the mап, and he pulled up а lily and gave it
    to him. The uпiсоrп ate it gravely. With а high heart, because there was а uпiсоrп in his
    gаrdеп, the mап went upstairs and rоusеd his wife again. "The uпiсоrп," he said,"ate а irly."
    His wife sat up in bed and looked at him coldly. "You are а ЬооЬу," she said, "and I аm going
    to hаче you put in the booby-hatch."
    The mап, who had печеr liked the words "ЬооЬу" and "booby-hatch," and who liked
    them ечеп less on а shining morning when there was а unicorn in the gаrdеп, thought for а
    moment. "We'11 see about that," he said. Не walked очеr to the door. "Не has а golden hоrп in
    the middle of his forehead," he told hеr. Then he went back to the garden to watch the
    чпiсоrп; but the uпiсоrп had gone away. The mап sat down аmопg the roses and went to
    sleep.
    As soon as the husband had gone out of the house, the wife got up and dressed as fast as
    she could. She was yеry excited and there was а gloat in her еуе. She telephoned the p.:lice
    and she telephoned а psychiatrist; she told them to hurrу to hеr house and bring а strait-jacket.
    When the police and the psychiatrist аrгiчеd they sat down in chairs and looked at hеr, with
    great interest.
    "Му husband," she said, "saw а uпiсоrп this mornirrg." The police looked at the
    psychiatrist and the psychiatrist looked at the police. "Не told mе it ate а lilly," she said. The
    psychiatrist looked at the police and the police looked at the psychiatrist. "Не told mе it had а
    golden hоm in the middle of its forehead," she said. At а solemn signal frоm the psychiatrist,
    the police leaped frоm their chairs and seized the wife. They had а hard time subduing hеr, for
    she put up а terrific struggle, but they finally subdued hеr. Just as they got hеr into the strait-
    jacket, the husband саmе back into the house. i r

    "Did you tell уоur wife you saw а unicorn?" asked the police. "Of corгse not," said the
    husband. "The uпiсоrп is а mythical beast." "That's а11 I wanted to know," said the
    psychiatrist. "Take hеr away. I'm sony, sir, but your wife is as Фazy as а jaybird."
    So they took hеr away, cursing and screaming, and shut hеr up in ап instifution. The
    husband lived happily ечеr after.
    Моrа1: Don't count уоur boobies until they аrе hatched.
