The Terra-Cotta Tumble

I flopped right out past the open screen door onto the patio deck—flap, wiggle, swoosh! Out in the breezy open air, nestled right in the dirt beneath a leafy fern, I spotted what had to be an undiscovered, smooth deep-sea egg! Round, sleek, and totally snack-sized! I launched myself forward with zero brakes—whoosh—and CHOMP! Well, half-chomp, because BONK! My snout bumped straight into the thick clay pot, rattle-clatter! My purple mouth-egg squished tight, and the little river pebble gave a firm clack against my white teeth, tasting like cool mineral dust, haha! Definitely not an edible egg, but I nudged it right out onto the wood planks anyway!
