Fairy Zoe stretched out in bed, stretching sweetly. Tomorrow was her day off! For the first time in years! She had been planning this day for so long! So many things to buy, so many things to do, so many friends to meet... But she didn't even know how her day off would go....
The morning began with the butler running into Zoe's room.
- Mrs. Zoe, trouble!
- What's wrong, Oakes?
- Greenulex has escaped!
Greenulex was Zoe's favorite unicorn.
- Why are you panicking before the time? - She asked, yawning, "He'll go for a walk and come back on his own.
- He's not coming back! - Oakes continued to cry - He fell through the portal!
- What?" Zoe interjected, "What portal?
- Into the human world!
- I'm going over there right now! - Zoe shouted, dressing as she walked.
And lo and behold, she was already crossing the portal.
**********************************************
Once in the city, Zoe had somehow decided that Greenolex would stay close to the water. And preferably one with grass in it, too. Lots of it. Where would one find all this stuff? And then Zoe remembered that in this city, just near the portal, there should be a park.
- Sooner or later Greenulex would be there! - She decided and headed for the park.
There were no Greenolex in the park, but there were a bunch of kids with their parents and grandmothers, discussing something animatedly.
- Now I know there are definitely fish here! - said someone's dad with a sigh and added, "I wish I hadn't known that. You can't catch them anyway!
- How did you know that? - Zoe was wary.
- Some horse with a horn came here - some old man in a fisherman's jacket answered in his place - I don't know what it has to do with it, but only after his visit the fish jumped out of the river. Jumped out and started dancing. It's a pity only the swans got scared and flew away, Milanka and I like to feed them very much.
Hearing this, Zoe turned pale.
- Where?" she asked in a hoarse, excited voice, "Where did the horse with the horn go afterward?
Everyone began to whisper, but some grandmother said:
- He went toward the stores.
- Thank you," Zoe replied and ran off.
But by the store she was again unlucky: Greenulex was not there. But a little girl came out of the store with a doll. From her conversation with her father, Zoe realized that the girl had bought this particular toy because the doll was dancing in the window. Zoe guessed who could have made the doll dance and asked:
- Excuse me, have you seen a...horse...with a horn on the streets here?
- Well, you only need to look for it in the zoo, and a horse with a horn, I do not even know where you can find - smiled the girl's father.
Without knowing why, Zoe decided to listen to him and actually went to the zoo. There she saw a strange picture: usually full of people on weekends and vacations, the zoo was empty, and one of the zoo workers was sitting on a bench. Zoe said hello and asked:
- Did anything happen to you?
- It happened," he sighed, "You see, I've worked with monkeys all my life, and I'm used to them being the audience's favorite. In fact, I enjoy the attention as much as they do. But today... some horse with a horn came into the zoo and started dancing like a human... Of course the children immediately turned all their attention to it. What's the matter with you? - the worker asked fearfully, looking at Zoe's pale face.
- Where is the horse with the horn? - It was all she could ask.
- By the cages with monkeys, I'll take you there - the employee calmed down, and indeed led her to the right place. There was a crowd of children, but they were not looking at another monkey, but at Greenulex, who was performing another dance.
- There you are, bully, and I've been looking for you everywhere! - Zoe smiled, "Come on, let's go home!
And I should tell you that all this time Zoe had a pendant hanging around her neck. It was just an ordinary round pendant, but only in appearance, because as soon as Zoe took it off and shook it slightly, the crowd of children began to disperse.
- Those monkeys are so smart! - some little girl said. - No matter how many times I look at them, I am always surprised!
- I also liked the bear today! - said the other one.
You've probably already guessed what happened? Yes, yes, that's right - Zoe erased the memories of everyone who saw her or Greenolex (not just at the zoo), and made herself and him invisible. So no one saw them get to the portal. That's how Zoe's first fairy weekend in many years went.
