I tried to, but my cotton swab got stuck in the agar. “Argh!”

“That’s OK,” said Mom. “Try again.”

By the third dish I was able to rub the cotton swab on the surface without poking through the agar.

Sassafras proudly dropped a soggy cotton swab he’d “caught” at my feet. I giggled.

Mom leaned over my shoulder. “Nice work, Zoey! Now it’s time to do the real thing.”

CHAPTER 6

UNICORN MAGIC

Sassafras decided to be brave and come with Mom and me out back. After all, it was no longer raining, and Tiny was lying down so he seemed a little smaller.

We carefully dodged puddles as we went, but Sassafras slammed to a stop before we got to Tiny. Even lying down, a baby unicorn is pretty enormous.

Poor Tiny looked just awful. I tried not to think about how horrible I’d felt when my ear was infected with bad bacteria. I took a deep breath. This experiment would fix him up.

“Hi, Tiny! We’re going to figure out how to heal your infection, but first I need to grow some of the bacteria so I can run experiments. I need to touch your cut, but I’ll be very gentle. Is that OK?”

I realized my mistake too late. A yes or no question. Eeek! As Tiny nodded, I held on to my Thinking Goggles, and Mom clutched our supplies tightly, but it was too late for poor Sassafras. The huge gust of wind rolled him right into a giant puddle. Uh-oh.
