On the Title

Roi-Et a.k.a. "101" is a city in the northeast of Thailand. I spent more than "One Night in Bangkok," and was on my way to Roi-Et. It wasn't my final destination in Thailand, but the place where I grew the most. I gained a tolerance for spicy food, and learned a little dialect called Essan-- a mixture of Laos and Thai. I learned that it's not the destination but the journey that matters. Just as random as my adventures were in Thailand, so is my life--it's like living in L.A. (oh by the way L.A. is another nickname for Roi-Et).

Chapter Three

Chapter Three: Unicorn Crossings

The troll didn't quite give up yet. He thought and thought. Finally, he came up with something. "I'll make two paths one with traps and one with a deep hole in case she doesn't pick one." Now the dumb troll didn't know that the unicorn was standing outside the cave to hear the nasty old trolls plan.

That afternoon the unicorn hid behind a tree to see the nasty old troll finish his plans.

She knew where all the traps were, she could fly over them. "Dum dee dum dee dum what shall I do today. Oh-me-oh-my! A path. Better yet, two paths. Which one shall I take?"

She thought the second one had a hole, so she could fly over the hole. She picked the second path. She found the hole and saw the troll setting up the net.

The unicorn waited for the net to be set up. When the troll was ready he ran out of the hole and behind a tree. The unicorn stepped up to the edge, and threw a huge stone in the hole.

The net came up. The troll was so excited he tripped over a stump, rolled down into the net, and captured himself.

What will happen next? Will the troll finally capture the unicorn? And where is the princess in this story? Stay tuned for the concluding chapters  of The Unicorn, The Troll, and the Princess . . . .
