Scaling the Giant Basket

That long hallway had an enormous woven tower sitting right along the wall! I sprinted across the shiny floorboards and slammed both hands into the woven wicker to check its grip. It felt just like a steep rock cliff! I dug my boots right into the gaps, gripped the thick wicker strands, and started hauling myself upward. My arms were burning, but every pull brought me higher. Right as I reached the rim, a soft cotton sock was draped over the side like a banner. I grabbed hold and hoisted myself to the top edge—what a view!
