Are gargoyles real?” Bernard asked his Grandma.
“As
real as the Saber tooth tiger in the museum! As real as your Grandfather's swan dives into New York Lakes.
As real as the famous Golem that protected our village in New York!”
Bernard recalls the facts about the Saber tooth tiger; the great mammal lived between 33.7 million and
9,000 years ago. They were very strong.
And that Saber-tooths could easily kill a human with a swipe of their awesome
paws...And those fangs looked like
daggers, only white porcelain tips hanging from a furry mouth, like stalactites
in a cave. Bernard shivered from his nightmare-daydream. Then he dropped a quarter into the donation box. The donation box had a plastic Sabor Tooth head mounted on a glass box, when you dropped money into the box the cat would growl. He dropped his penny into an assortment of coins, dollars and miscellaneous debris, and the cat did growl a terrorizing sound.
