Despite the fact that it has never been seen, almost everyone is familiar with the legendary unicorn (¶À½ÇÊÞ)£®Descriptions of unicorns have been found dating from ancient times. The great philosopher Aristotle theorized that there were two types of unicorn—the so¡Mcalled Indian Ass and the Oryx£¬a kind of antelope. Unicorns are often used in the logo of a noble family, town council or university as their special sign. Even Scotland is represented by a unicorn.
According to the legend, anyone attempting to catch a unicorn had to be extremely cautious as it has a reputation for being very fierce. A clever trick suggested by unicorn¡Mtrappers£¬in order to catch this magnificent beast without being hurt by its horn£¬was for the hunter to stand in front of a tree and then to move quickly behind it as the unicorn charged. Hopefully£¬the creature could then be captured when its horn was stuck in the tree.
