Unrolling the Blue Ribbon
Out from that cozy pickle jar I scrambled! Right at the foot of the luggage cart lay a discarded wooden spool wound with bright blue grosgrain ribbon. The loose tail fluttered across the plank. I pounced right onto it! Paws first! The spool rolled sideways with a clatter. It tumbled down two shallow wooden steps, unspooling a long, crisp stripe across the deck. I bounded after it, gripped the stiff fabric with my front paws, and zigzagged the trailing end back and forth until it folded into three sharp pointed zigzags on the weathered wood! #Alphablocks
