Scaling the Great Footwear Barrier

Training by the window was great, but a real shinobi can't stay stuck indoors forever! I scrambled down the wooden legs of the side table and dashed across the rug toward the front door. Right in front of the exit, a giant obstacle appeared: a massive, dark blue sneaker lying on its side like a collapsed boulder. I leaped onto the thick rubber sole, using the crisscrossed shoelaces like sturdy climbing ropes to haul myself up. Perched right on the padded collar of the shoe, I could peer out through the crack beneath the front door into the hallway outside. Freedom is just past this giant shoe mountain, believe it!
