Rolling the Green Marble

I slipped through the cracked-open sliding door and trotted out onto the warm balcony tiles~. Right beside a big terracotta planter, I spotted a shiny green marble tucked into the floor groove! I gave it a gentle nudge with my round nose, and off it rolled with a lively little clatter~. I scampered right after it, my short legs kicking up quite a dash! It bumped softly against the saucer of a potted geranium and came to a stop, twinkling brightly. I nudged it once more just to hear that happy rumble~.
