“We need to measure the sparklecorn each spring to make sure it’s healthy and happy. You will see on your measuring tapes the perfect height for each cornstalk,” said Bruce.

Mira unfurled her tape and saw inch markings with numbers and pictures. At one yard there was a picture of a sparklecorn stalk, surrounded by lots of sparkles and words that read, Perfect sparklecorn height!

“Each team of four will have one square yard to measure,” said Bruce. “I’ve marked out the areas with rainbow tape. Please measure all the sparklecorn stalks in your patch and write them down on the chart. You have one hour to complete this activity. After that, it’ll be almost time for you to go back to Unicorn School. So make the most of it! I’ll just be over in the tractor if you need me.”

Jake flung his arms in the air. “This is going to take forever!” he moaned. “What about the quest?”

The chickicorn cheeped loudly from inside Dave’s mane and Dave frowned.

Raheem looked up from the clipboard. “Actually, I think we’re doing pretty well on the quest. I’ve been figuring out the riddles.”

“Really?” said Mira.

Raheem pointed to the checklist. “Number one was ‘What is brown and sticky but is not a stick?’ Well, that’s awesome activity one: soil.”

“Don’t call it awesome,” muttered Darcy.

“And then, ‘What has ears but cannot hear?,’” continued Raheem. He pointed at the sparklecorn. “Ears of corn can’t hear. I haven’t figured out number three yet—‘What has a bark but no bite?’”

“The farm monster?” said Darcy.

“That’s stupid!” said Jake, but Mira saw him glancing around.

“Wait, what was number four?” said Mira.

“‘What hisses but is not a snake?,’” said Raheem.

“I KNOW THAT ONE!” shrieked Mira. “Hissing is just one of the many adorable noises that a kitticorn makes! That must be the answer!” An idea suddenly came to her. “Bruce said we don’t have much time left. Why don’t we return the chickicorn and find the kitticorns at the same time? AND we might find the missing answers and complete the quest!”

Jake grinned and punched the air. “Woo! If we complete the quest, we win the MEDAL!” Jake loved medals almost as much as Mira did.
