Fool, I Am The Weasel!
Drabble about the Pevensie boys meeting their horses.
"Lord Edmund, meet Philli-hinny-hoo-phraa."
Edmund gulped. "Hello," he said cautiously. "I'm Edmund."
"I am Phili-hinny-ha... You couldn't pronounce it. You may call me Philip."
Peter smiled.
"What's funny?" Edmund asked.
"Philip," Peter replied. "It means 'horse-lover'."
The faun led them into the next stall, containing a snow-white mare, with a twirling horn.
"And this is yours, Sir Wolfsbane," the faun said, stroking the unicorn's head. "Lovely girl, Luisa. But not much of a talker."
"But still a good steed?" Peter asked.
"Yes milord," the faun replied. "I reared her myself."
"Good," the High King-to-be said. "We'll need experience. More than anything else."
Author's Notes
- As Bree tells us in The Horse and His Boy, horses often have very long unpronounceable names.
- If you got the reference in the title, you are awesome. :-)
