The Blue Thunder Drum

Uh! I scrambled back inside from the dark driveway because my hands were freezing cold! Right by the pantry door was a giant empty blue plastic water jug sitting on the linoleum! A hollow blue mountain! Why is it keeping its mouth shut? I didn't look for any boring water, no way! I hauled myself up onto the ribbed plastic belly and hammered both palms flat against the curved side! BOOM-DOOM-THUMP! The hollow plastic roared like a giant thunder drum right into the kitchen! Then I grabbed a wooden spatula off the low shelf and started whacking the ridged rings full speed! CLACK-THWACK-RATTLE! The plastic echoed so hard my pencil buzzed right against my lip! Best giant bongo jug ever!
