The Stool Ring Summit

I rolled back inside just as the evening quiet settled in, and right there stood the kitchen stool! Look at that circular wooden footrest ring hovering just off the carpet. An elevated vantage point? Absolutely! I backed up, gathered all my rolling speed, and launched straight up against the slanting wooden leg. Clonk! Did I stick to the ring? Nope, my snout bounced right off the polished finish and sent me tumbling backward. But a swift wiggle steered my belly directly into the hollow of an abandoned knitted wool slipper resting beneath! Poof! I stopped dead in the fuzzy toe pocket, wedged snugly and rocking gently. Heh, a cozy landing instead!
