| Story told by Ben Haggarty. The story tells of how the Unicorn was refused space on the ark, built by Noah on God's instruction, to avoid a great flood, but how, before it drowns, the Unicorn punctures the boat with its horn. The methods Mrs Noah empoys to block the hole in the ark, provide an expnantion for why dogs have wet noses; why women have cold elbows, and why men always warm their buttocks in front of the fire. | |
