It Takes a True Genius...

I recall an incident in primary school, which was really a long time ago. We were tasked to write a composition, and were given three themes to choose from. One dealt with a journey across the Sahara Desert (ultimately, the topic I chose). There were two others, but the one I remember had something to do with a unicorn landing in the writer's backyard.

One of my classmates at the time wrote about the quest to send the unicorn back to whatever fantasy realm it came from. Apparently, the way home was across a bridge which did not cross water and went nowhere.

The characters in the story did eventually send the unicorn home. The exit? A partially-constructed overhead bridge.

I wish I had thought of that.
