So much for the unicorn
and the gryphon and the phoenix. Not to mention
the breadalope! Some say the latter was God's finest creation, a bulky,
docile beast, half-plant and half-animal, and all bread! Its meat was
bread, and its milk was butter it shat bread pudding!
And dithering Noah, before
he knew it, had an altarful of dripping
carcasses, and his wife behind with wide eyes, finally felt it was okay
to approach without being sacrificed herself, and said,
"Shlomo...you...do you realize...."
And it hit Noah like 10
square cubits of mud-baked brick. Meanwhile, the
breadalope's mate bleated forlornly. The Gryphon and Phoenix scrabbled on
the scree with weak claws, no branches to hold onto and the remaining
unicorn only glared at Noah with baleful, watery eyes.
