The Lemon Raft

I slid belly-first off the sofa armrest and landed with a quiet thump right onto the smooth wooden coffee table. In front of me was a ceramic mug and a round cork coaster printed with a bright yellow lemon. I stretched out both my paws and gave the coaster a gentle nudge. It glided across the slick varnish like a little raft! It drifted until it clicked softly against the mug's base. Tapping the rough cork texture, I smiled at how cheerful that little painted lemon looked glowing in the morning light.
