Simi 🐰 - The Leaf Boat

Following the faint trickle of water, I hopped over the cobblestones to the center of the square, where a wide stone fountain rested. Scrambling carefully onto the low granite rim, I spotted a crisp, boat-shaped beech leaf lying dry against the stone. I gathered it gently between my paws and leaned forward over the clear basin. Lowering it down until it met the water, I let go. It bobbed once, stayed perfectly afloat, and began to drift across the soft ripples. I settled onto the ledge with my paws folded over the cool edge, quietly watching it sail across the pool.
