The Big Door Mat

I swung my long arms and scrambled down the hallway floor, heading straight for the big world outside! The front door was closed tight, but right in front of it lay a giant, scratchy brown mat. I stretched out flat and dragged myself onto the prickly bristles. Tucked in the corner of a stray sneaker sat a smooth, coiled hairband with a little blue bead. I wrapped both arms around the shoe, scooped up the hairband, and gave my belly zipper a tug to slip it inside with the rest of my stash!
