All the beasts obeyed Noah when he admitted them into the ark. All but the Unicorn. Confident of his own abilities, he boasted "I shall swim".

~ Ukrainian Folktale *********************

"'Do you know, I always thought unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!'

'Well, now that we have seen each other,' said the unicorn, 'if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you.'"

~ Lewis Carroll; Through the Looking Glass **********************

A wise man never plays leapfrog with a unicorn.

(Photo contribution compliments of Ryan. Thanks, Ryan! When Ryan sent it to me he wrote, "This guy's my hero." And I had to agree. And then, I got a little... confused. Because somehow... in some twisted way, I got slightly turned on. It may have been those blue hooves. Or the pink vinyl chaps. Or purple mane. See? Totally confusing... I never wanted to spank a unicorn's bottom before.)
