Rare Pets

An egg like a lump of grey granite is the sign of this family, and a keeper who finds one will sit up with it all night. Out of such eggs come the beasts of the old tales: the unicorn, which heals; the gryphon, which is born to be ridden through the air; the drake; and the dragon, which is as large as anything that hatches, and breathes as dragons do.

It is the way of the world that the commonest of them is a penguin. And the rarest, rarer than the dragon, is a small rabbit upon which the keepers do not turn their backs.
