A Tasty Stand-In

Eat someone?! No way, nope, absolutely not! But wait... my tummy did a tiny squeak, so I tiptoed into the kitchen to hunt for a stand-in! There, perched low on a stool, was a bright red apple with a shiny green sticker shaped like a smiling face! Aha! A crunchy round friend! I lunged forward with both paws, clamped down, and took an enormous theatrical chomp—CRUNCH! Sticky juice sprayed everywhere, and the peel stuck right between my pointy fabric teeth! I froze instantly in an awkward, wide-armed bow, grinning proud like I totally conquered the fiercest fruit in town!
