A Crinkly Visitor

A giant, curled brown leaf drifted right against the porch railing! I waddled over to investigate. When I bumped it with my tummy, it went crunch! Such a funny, crackly sound! I lifted one soft arm and tapped the brittle edge very gently. It didn't squish at all like my blankets do. It rustled every time I moved! I took my time pressing the crinkly stem against the floor planks, making little dry clicks on the warm wood.
