A Shiny Metal Lid

I scrambled out of my pinecone fort and marched along the sunny gravel path. Resting upside down against a flat stepping stone was a shiny silver twist-off bottle cap! I didn't wait a second—I leaped straight into the hollow cup with both bare feet. Clink! The jagged crimped edges poked up like a tiny metal crown around my toes. I gripped the ribbed rim with both hands, bent my knees, and bounced with all my weight. It spun on its domed center like a spinning saucer across the smooth stone!
