A Giant Paper Cup

I pushed past the patio door and dashed out into the warm air! Tucked under the garden umbrella, an empty striped paper cup stood upside down like a hollow party hat. Sneak mode: full speed! I sprinted across the warm stones, leaped forward, and jammed my stubby arms straight down over the round base. *Whoosh-plop!* The lightweight cup wobbled, flipped sideways, and scooped me right inside! Down I tumbled onto my side, rolling inside the noisy red-and-white cylinder across the flagstones like a barrel racer until I gently clattered against a potted mint pot. Haha! A wild, rattling paper ride!
