Finn had one wish (he was thinking this on an incredibly long car journey, stuck in the back of his parents car travelling south that day), "I wish" he said, (having seen them flickering past him in the windows reflection)" there were no more fences, everywhere you look they are at the end of every garden and lining every field , I WISH FENCES DID NOT EXIST" (Now no one had told Finn that he possessed actual magic powers or that the way to summon them was to exclaim them , it was more of an instinct. Neither did he know that what was about to happen would have some serious repercussions , for Finn it was just a longing prompted by a long car journey heading south.
Some hours passed and Finn's head bounced off his chest as he lapsed in and out of sleep, catching glimpses of sky and watching road signs and markings lull him back to sleep as they repetitively flashed past the window.
Slow, no overtaking, 80, yield, 80, no overtaking, yield, rhinoceros, yiel......, RHINOCEROS !!!!!! As plain as day a white rhinoceros sped at full tilt alongside the car...... Waking to find a rhinoceros racing your car was highly unusual but Finn still had no idea that this mysterious event and curious happening was in someway connected to his outburst some hours previously . What he did know however, was that this was highly suspicious and he wasn't going to let it rest. "a rhinoceros and a family saloon sharing the same stretch of motorway indeed". So Finn slept with one eye open and one eye closed for if another rhinoceros were to appear he would alert the authorities ( via his mum and dad of course) . And although Finn acknowledged it as unusual he had no idea how this had all started and even more curious, how it was going to end.....
