Why would you need to know unless this is homework?
A hint is to notice how much happier the husband (who is willing to believe in seemingly impossible things) is than the wife (who cannot believe at all). That would be a good lesson for some of the people on this board, too :-)

Straight from wikipedia:
As with a number of his stories and cartoons, this one is not so much about unicorns as it is about "the battle of the sexes". A "henpecked" husband sees a unicorn in the family garden and tells his wife about it. She ridicules him, telling him the unicorn is "a mythical beast" and calls him a "booby". When he persists, she threatens to send him to the "booby hatch" (the mental institution), and she summons the authorities. They ask him if he told his wife he had seen a unicorn. He tells them, No, the unicorn is a mythical beast. Thus they take the wife away. The moral of the story is "Don't count your boobies until they are hatched."
