A Bold Blue Streak

I scrambled out from under the velvet mask and hopped straight down onto the floorboards! Right across a broad sheet of white paper lay a chunky turquoise wax crayon. I waddled right up on tiptoes, planting both front paws firmly over its paper wrapper. Leaning all my plush weight into it, I gave a mighty forward shove—shhhhk! A thick, glossy blue stripe trailed instantly behind the tip, curving across the clean page like a bright little river! I tumbled forward onto my tummy, giggling at the waxy scent and my brand-new winding track.
