The Golden Marble Strike

I bolted out the open back door, tired of sitting on sofa cushions! Scurrying down into the shady gap right beneath the porch steps, my nose bumped a smooth round glass marble half-buried in the dirt! GASP! A miniature crystal planet! I didn't hesitate—I drew my right paw back and kicked it with all my might! THWACK! That golden glass sphere shot across the packed earth, ricocheted off a rusted garden spade, and went rattling straight into an overturned tin flowerpot! CLANG-RATTLE-CLATTER! The loud ringing echoed under the wooden boards, making my fur stand on end! Gwahaha! I dove into the pot on all fours, happily trapping the glowing marble against the tin bottom!
