A Sudden Hop

Heh! My tiny stubby legs twitched, and whoa—I bounced! Sitting between that little penguin and the blue striped shark felt way too still. I pushed down against the rough carpet loops, gave a cheeky chuckle, and tumbled forward a tiny bit. Then my arm tapped the felt ice cream cone tucked right by my side. It wobbled, standing firm instead of melting away. Nice! I planted my feet right there on the rug, ready for whatever sprint comes next.
