A Bumpy Tumble

I slipped through the cracked doorway, scampered down the stone steps, and dashed straight into the neighborhood pocket park! Resting right on the edge of the gravel path was an enormous, prickly brown pinecone! I charged forward and gave it a hearty shove with both front paws. Crunch-roll-click! It wobbled heavily across the pebbles, shedding two crisp woody scales along the way! It finally bumped to a stop against a bright red plastic bottle cap half-buried in the damp dirt. I clambered right onto the cone's bumpy flank, balancing on my plush toes to inspect my shiny red find! Isn't that the grandest treasure hunt ever?
