People were always trying to capture unicorns. Most were caught when they were young and small. Alexander tamed his karkadann when it was still a baby.

If a unicorn was attacked, it fought back. A unicorn was a good fighter. It was smart and quick. It ran faster than the fastest horses and hunting dogs.

Sometimes hunters could trap a unicorn if a young girl helped them.

The huntsmen and their dogs wait in a garden filled with flowers. They see a unicorn. The hunters blow their trumpets and gallop toward it. The unicorn kicks out. It swings its horn to defend itself.

It gets away. But it sees a girl in the woods. The unicorn stops and puts its head in her lap. She strokes it gently.

The hunters ride up. They capture the unicorn and put it in a pretty fenced garden.

This story is shown in a set of seven tapestries. They were woven over five hundred years ago. They hung in a house in France. In the 1700s, peasants broke into the house. They took the tapestries. They used them to protect fruit trees from frost and to cover potatoes in their barns.
