"Who?" asked Uncle Wiggily. "Please don't tell me it is the mosquito enemy coming after me to bite me."
"No, it's the Lion and the Unicorn," Alice answered. "Don't you remember how it goes in my book:
"'The Lion and the Unicorn were fighting for the Crown,
The Lion beat the Unicorn all around the town.
Some gave them white bread, some gave them brown,
And then the funny Unicorn jumped right up and down.'
"That last line isn't just right," explained Alice to the bunny uncle, "but I couldn't properly think of it, I'm so frightened!"
"Frightened? At what" asked Uncle Wiggily.
"At the Unicorn," answered Alice. "Here he comes," and, as she said that, Uncle Wiggily saw a funny animal, like a horse, with a big long horn sticking out of the middle of his head, straight in front of him, galloping out of the clump of trees.
"Hurray! I beat him!" cried the Unicorn. "Come on now, quick, I must get away from here before they catch me!"
"You beat him? Do you mean beat the Lion?" asked Uncle Wiggily for he was not frightened as was Alice.
"Sure I beat him," answered the Unicorn, as he jumped into the back seat of the automobile. "Drive on!" he ordered just as if the bunny uncle gentleman were the coachman.
