Eating roses. She opened one unfriendly eye and looked and looked at him. The unicorn isa mythical beast, she said, and turned her back on him. The man walked slowly downstairs andout into the garden. The unicorn was still there he was now browsing among the tulips. !ere,unicorn, said the man, and he pulled up a lily and ga"e it to him.
