A Rubber Springboard

I wriggled outside under the back porch gate and dashed across the damp grass to a big coiled garden hose! Ooh, thick, bumpy rubber rings stacked like a giant green spiral staircase! I scrambled up the bouncy coils—one, two, three heave-hos! Right at the top, a cold, rogue water droplet dripped off the metal nozzle and splatted right onto my forehead—*drip-plink*! *Gasp!* I jumped in surprise, lost my footing, and bounced all the way down the squishy green coils like a pinball before plopping softly into a patch of clover. Haha, what a bouncy slide!
