In ,, The Unicorn in the Garden “ James Thurber shows that you cannot know who lives near . Theauthor supports the main idea by using a beast – a unicorn to reveal the essence of the characters’ nature. One morning a man saw a unicorn. He said that to his wife. He annoyed her . She called the police and a psychiatrist. When they came the wife told them that strange story about the unicorn. They asked the husband if that story was a real one. He denied everything. The police shut up his wife in an mental institution . The man lived happily ever after. Thus, good deeds bring fortune; bad deeds bring misfortune.
