PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN BY DANA SIMPSON Phoebe: What's that on your horn? Marigold: It is my PICKET SIGN. Marigold: Unicorns have a long, proud history of passionate protest? We are NOT just placid forest creatures! Marigold: We created magic signs, designated to protest whatever injustice was weighing most on our hearts. It is annoying to have to keep making new signs! Marigold: The difficult part is focusing one's righteous anger, instead of letting it drift from one petty concern to another. Down with getting hung up on petty stuff! Phoebe: So what were you originally protesting, before I got here? I was trying on my old sign and it got stuck on my horn. Phoebe: I'll get some buffer for your horn. Marigold: I would not protest that.
