The father then cycles through various other animals, demonstrating that unicorns were equally false, but becoming surprised to see that the encyclopedia similarly describes the zebra as a creature of myth. The father, increasingly confused, turns to several other animals, confirming in turn that (again, per his encyclopedia) the mule and even the horse only e
