#very small gryphons

Day 10. The Cornish Teabiscuit.

A featherweight of the Gryphon family, the tiny gray-and-fawn Teabiscuit can be found warming itself against the side of a large porcelain teapot, when there is plentiful company on a lovely sunny day.  Although not averse to snaring a morsel of scone with cream and jam, it is quite particular in its tastes in this regard, preferring only scones that have jam first, THEN cream.

(Its equally miniscule cousin, the Devonshire Teabiscuit, looks identical but can be distinguished by its preference for cream BEFORE jam.)
