Park Bench Bowling

I trotted past the front gate and scampered straight over to the shade of the park's giant oak tree! The grass was dotted with freshly fallen acorns, smooth and capped with textured wooden hats. That gave me a brilliant idea: acorn bowling! I scrambled onto the flat bench and lined up three upright acorns at the far end like tiny bowling pins. For my ball, I picked a heavy, polished buckeye nut. I lined up my paws, took two bouncy steps back, and gave the nut a mighty shove with my chest—*rattle-roll!* It glided straight down the wooden slat and smashed right through the lineup with a glorious *clack-scatter!* A total strike on my first try!
