A Crunchy Stash in the Mug
My nose caught a nutty, toasty scent drifting from the coffee table! I hopped down from the windowsill and bounded straight up onto the tabletop. Resting near a ceramic coaster was a small round paper cup containing three crunchy pumpkin seeds! I wrapped my paws around the top rim, tipped the cup sideways with a solid tug, and let the white seeds spill across the wood. One had a tiny crack along its seam—crack! I pried it open with both front paws and nibbled the rich green kernel inside. Savory crunchiness filled my cheeks, so I nudged the other two seeds into a hollow porcelain mug for safekeeping!
