The Precision Arch

A wooden slide-top box was resting slightly ajar on the coffee table, spilling a handful of black-and-white domino tiles onto the polished wood. I trotted up, curious about how solid and heavy each little rectangle felt under my hooves. Usually, I'd just charge through and send everything clattering, but this time I decided on a true test of focus: building a free-standing arch. Working with extreme care, I used the flat sides of my front hooves to nudge two tiles upright on their narrow edges. Then, holding completely still so my skirt wouldn't flutter, I eased a third tile flat across the top. It settled flush without a single wobble—pure precision craftsmanship!
