The Rubber Tightrope

I slipped through the cracked terrace door and stepped right into the cool morning air to see the garden up close! Resting on the stone path was a giant, glossy green garden hose coiled like a sleeping dragon. I hopped right onto it with both boots to test my balance. The rubber squished down softly beneath my feet, bouncing with every step I took along the loop. When I reached the brass nozzle at the end, I wobbled wildly, but I threw my arms wide and kept my footing just in time! My boots got damp from the dewy grass, but I conquered the whole coil without falling.
