'Sarah, Sarah,' she shouted, 'come on. Let's go.'
That was all Sarah needed. She came frisking and prancing out of her
little house, raising first one hoof and then the other as she came close.
She nuzzled Leah's shoulder, and then unfolded and stretched her wings
so they would be out of the way for climbing aboard. That was the
invitation Leah was waiting for.
Taking a tight hold on Sarah's mane, Leah swung her leg across the
unicorn's back and she was on. Twisting both her hands into the long
silky hair Leah pulled herself forward until she was well out of the way
of Sarah's wings.
'All set,' Leah shouted. 'Away we go!'
Sarah trotted to the far end of the yard until she was close to the fence.
She faced about and began to run, faster and faster. Suddenly her wings
spread wide and with a leap they were in the air.
Up. Up. They spiraled around the old oak tree, rising higher with each
loop. From far out, they dipped into a long glide and swooped down
under the tree's branches, around and around the swing that grandpa had
made for David and her, and up and around again.
