Chapter Two

Chapter Two The Lost Gremlin Named Corny

The troll may not be able to catch this unicorn, but he tries and tries to capture the unicorn. He thought and thought. He finally came up with something.

"I can disguise myself as a gremlin and name the gremlin Corny. I'm so wicked," he said to himself (he likes to talk to himself, he is a loner).

The next day he hid behind a stump by the pond. The unicorn got another sip of water.  All of a sudden, a little tiny gremlin popped out. The unicorn was drinking the water she eyed the gremlin. Then she turned her eye to look at her lovely reflection. She saw that nasty old troll's reflection, and looked up (she was very clever) and saw the sneer on the gremlin's face. She found out that the gremlin was really the troll, so she decided to go along with the joke.

When he took out his net to get  ready to capture her she flew away. The troll said, "Darn it! She found out." The unicorn said, "Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha! You didn't get me."

The troll was so mad he turned back into a troll and turned blue.

I wrote the story in pencil, I am surprised that the story has lasted this long. Growing up, I was told that pen lasts longer, and doesn't smear like pencil--well I proved the critics wrong. I know there are a lot of mistakes, but I didn't have an editor to tell me that I was making a lot of leaps. My fourth grade imagination is not like a J.K. Rowling or Jane Austen, and yes I did take lots of leaps in writing this story visualizing the scene at the pond, expecting the reader to just know the actions of the unicorn and troll. The illustrations help too!

I didn't realize it at the time, but I made a pure and perfect animal really vain.

P.S. In this story gremlins are suppose to be cute and good fairy creatures, like Gizmo before water spills on him in the classic movie Gremlins.
