Through the Cat Flap

The little swinging flap at the kitchen door flapped open with a click, and I lunged straight through it! Slid right out onto the cool wooden deck and scrambled over into the damp dirt patch under the ferns! There was a big terracotta flowerpot sitting upside down with a cracked hole in its side. Without waiting a second, I reached my long arms around the rim and tipped it right over! Underneath was a little dry crater filled with smooth gray pebbles. I scooped three cool stones up with my palms, clattering them together like tiny drums!
