One day Mogey and Smush were playing jacks when they were approached by a quadcorn. As the name suggests, a quadcorn is a four-horned horse, but unlike its aesthetically pleasing cousin, the unicorn, a quadcorn's horns do not always grow from its head. In fact, a quadcorn's horns can grow pretty much anyplace that they (the horns) please, and the specimen who approached Mogey and Smush was particularly unfortunate looking. He had one horn growing from his ear, two protruding from his left cheek, and one planted squarely on his rump.
"'Ello, chaps!" the quadcorn announced cheerily. "My name's Skippy."
"Great Scot!" Smush exclaimed at the sight of the ugly beast.
"Whoa!" added Mogey.
"What are you playing?" Skippy asked, looking somewhat taken aback.
"Jacks," Smush replied warily. "But it would be difficult to play with hoofs."
"Or a horn on your bottom," Mogey said under his breath.
