The Acorn Lineup

I slipped through the bottom rung of the front gate and trotted straight down the sidewalk to the giant street tree! The concrete underneath was dotted with smooth brown acorns knocked clean out of their prickly little hats. Dropping into a wide, knee-bent sprawl, I rolled a plump acorn between my fuzzy paws. Ooh—a match! I picked up a knobby wooden cap from the seam, turned it upside down, and pressed down firmly until it snapped right onto the acorn's top like a snug winter beret. I shuffled sideways at a goofy angle, capped two more, and proudly lined all three up along the curb!
