The Big Green Snake

Dirt was fun, but the patio had something way weirder waiting! Right beside the brick wall was a fat, ribbed green garden hose coiled around a metal frame. Perfect wrestling match! I ran straight up and yanked the brass nozzle with both arms. Clank! The wheel groaned and spun half an inch! I planted my feet hard against the concrete, clamped my arms around the thick rubber loop, and gave a massive backward pull. Whoosh! A three-foot loop uncoiled and flopped down with a heavy rubber smack right over my feet. I staggered back, laughing loud! This rubber snake is tough, but I pulled it loose!
