THE UNICORN IN THE
GARDEN THAT BROKE UP MARRIAGE Once upon a bright morning, just as the sun was signalling the west of its readiness for the day work, a man by name Chidoo, who sat in a breakfast nook looked up from his fried eggs and croquette to see a Unicorn in its beautiful plumage with a golden horn gently cropping corn in the garden.
Chidoo went-up to the sleeping room where his wife Phiana was still asleep and woke her. Saying: "There is a unicorn in the garden, eating corn" The wife angrily rose and looked him with an unfriendly eye and said "The unicorn is a mythical animal. And fell back to the bed for sleep. The husband walked slowly downstairs and out into the garden.
The unicorn still there, he was now browsing and navigating among the tulips, "Here, unicorn" said Chidoo as he pulled up lily and gave it to him. The unicorn gulped down gravely. Because of the presence of the unicorn in the garden, he excitedly went back upstairs and woke his wife again. "The unicorn ate a lily" he said. His wife - Phiana - then sat up in the bed and looked him coldly and with disdain and reviled him "You are a booby" and I am going to have you put in the booby hatch" said the wife. Her husband who had never liked them ever less on a shining morning when there was a unicorn in the garden, thought for a moment, "We`ll see about that" he said. He walked away and added to his former information "He has golden horn in the middle of his forehead" Then he went back to the unicorn, but the unicorn had disappeared. He sat down among the grasses and slept.
Immediately her husband left the house, Phiana got up and dressed as fast as possible. She was excited and glad and there was a gloat in her eye. She telephoned the police and a psychiatrist. She requested they hurry to her house and should come along with a strait jacket. When the two persons came, they sat dowm in the chairs and looked at her with great interest.
"My husband" she said, "saw a unicorn this morning" The police and the psychiatist looked at each other, "He told me it ate a lily" she said. The psychiatrist and the police looked at each again, "He told me he has a golden horn in the middle of its forehead" she said. At a quizzical signal from the pyschiatrist, the police leaped from his chair and seized the woman. Though they subdued her, but they had a hard time doing that, for she put up a terific resistance. Just as they got her into the strait jacket, her husband came back into the house.
"Did you tell your wife you saw a unicorn? the psychiatrist asked. "Of course no" the man answered. "The unicorn is a mythical animal" "That`s all I wanted to know" the pyschiatrst said. "Take her away. I`m sorry, sir, but your wife is as crazy as a jay bird" so they took her away, cursing and screaming, and shut her up in an institution. The husband therefore lived happily ever after.
