A Posh Neighbourhood

‘Hey, look at this place, it’s very posh.’
‘I don’t think we have been here, have we?’
‘Definitely not.’
‘Still we can mosey around, since it’s the holidays.’

The two boys walked around one of the cul-de-sacs.

‘Oh, look at this. It’s a lovely large chameleon right next to the wall.’
‘It’s not real.’
‘No, but it’s very cute.’
‘That wall is pretty tall, and it goes all around the house and the garden I suppose.’
‘I bet it’s really nice.’
‘Do you think we would be able to go inside?’
‘Shall we find out?’

The two boys knocked on the door and rang the bell.
And waited.

‘No answer.’
‘Try again.’
‘Okay. ‘

‘No reply.’
‘Maybe we can climb up, and over?’
‘Shall we try?’
‘Hmm, don’t think so – bound to be court.’
‘Yip, you’re right.’

They stared for a bit.
‘Did we try the handle on the door?’
They tried, both of them; but no luck.
However, they saw something.

And if you look very closely, beneath the handle, you can see a tiny unicorn.🦄

  8. Well naturally they couldn’t get in – a place guarded by even such a tiny unicorn (and I went closer to see!) is always impregnable except to those who know and believe.
    I love your magic universes, Chris.

  15. Okay I read and “liked” this a couple of days ago, but I’ve been keeping up with the comments to see if anyone explains where exactly the tiny unicorn is! Of all your international readers, am I the only one who can’t see it? 😳😮 🦄🦄
