The Orange Peel Sled

I scrambled up the kitchen barstool and spotted a thick, freshly discarded orange peel resting on a bamboo cutting board! Its bright citrus fragrance tickled my nostrils immediately. The curled skin formed a sturdy, curved cup with a smooth, damp interior. I wiggled my front claws right over the raised rim, hopped inside with both feet, and gave a vigorous forward lunge. The curved peel slid smoothly across the bamboo grain like an indoor bobsled, gliding right up to the ceramic fruit bowl before spinning to a gentle halt. I bobbed my head in sheer delight!
