A Soft Heavy Roll

A round red knot bounced clean out of the wicker basket! I dashed right over. It was a dense ball of thick wool, trailing a loose yarn tail across the hearth rug. I planted my front paw on the strand to pin it down, but the ball gave a quick wobble and rolled sideways! I lunged forward, nudging it hard with my chest. It rolled right between my front legs, bumping softly against the brick hearth before settling still. Now I'm standing guard right over my woolly catch!
