A Citrus Roll

I scrambled out of my cozy knit scarf and dashed straight into the kitchen! Right beside a tall ceramic fruit bowl sat a tiny, bright orange kumquat. I couldn't resist—I rushed forward and shoved it hard with both front paws! Wobble, roll—thump! It rolled fast across the smooth marble, bumping right into an upright wooden honey jar. The sharp clunk made me freeze on the spot, ears pinned back tight! But nothing spilled! A zesty, sweet citrus smell puffed into the air, and I bounced over to hug its shiny orange peel!
