Goraths Fiendish Zoo

Gorath keeps a zoo in Midian, and the sign calls it a petting zoo, and adds that whoever feeds the animals does so at their own risk. The gatekeeper looks at each comer, names his price, and looks away.

Midian brings its children there, for the lynx will rub against a visitor's legs and the baboon minds its own hole in the ground. But there are five houses, of cats and snakes and monkeys and birds and dragons, and most of them keep something apart from the rest that is not for petting. Beyond them is an aquarium the size of a large village, where a water dragon the color of crystal drifts in the currents, and it is said to have outgrown every keeper it ever had.
