The Water Cannon

I trotted out through the screen door onto the warm flagstones! Resting right across a coil of green garden hose was a heavy brass spray nozzle, gleaming like pure gold in the afternoon sun. Naturally, I marched straight over and scrambled onto the rubber loop! I leaned forward, hooked both front paws around the knurled metal ring, and gave it an enormous twist. Squeak-click! The brass barrel spun around with a satisfying clank! A tiny spray of leftover cool mist puffed right out of the tip, tickling my nostrils! I sneezed, flapped both wings in wild surprise, and gave the shiny golden spout an eager tap. My very own dragon blaster!
