The Springy Somersault

A big rubber spring was coiled right under the edge of a bright wooden see-saw! You said backflip—and my fins were already twitching! I scrambled right onto the curved wooden seat, squished my plush tail down hard, and counted to one. Ready, set—spring! Wheeee! The plank kicked up, throwing my round tummy high into the air! Upside down went the grass, upside down went the trees! Whoosh! I tucked my side fins, did a full wobbling loop-de-loop, and landed with a giant soft squish right on top of a pile of crunchy wood chips! Nailed it!
