A Rolled-Up Surprise

I scrambled up the textured rubber slope, but halfway up, my round belly tipped forward and whoosh—I slid down the soft surface like a toboggan! At the bottom, my nose bumped a smooth wooden pencil wedged under the baseboard. I gave it a brisk push with both paws, watching it roll along the floorboards with a clean, satisfying rumble!
