Morning Rations Inspection

I waddled down from the quiet bookshelf and slipped past the hallway tiles into the cool kitchen. Coo... In the morning light, a round silver bottle cap lay gleaming near the pantry corner like a proper soldier's mess tin! I nudged it forward with my snout, steering it across the linoleum until it bumped against a stray dry bean. Bark! A resourceful guard must gather field supplies. Using both side flippers, I carefully rolled the bean into the inverted cap, securing my very first pantry ration.
