A Nutty Discovery

I waddled out from the porch lantern onto the moist morning flagstones, ready for a fresh weekend patrol without any homework dragging me down. Right beside the grassy verge, I bumped right into a glossy brown acorn wearing a bumpy wooden cap! Naturally, I thought it was an ancient survival helmet. Why did the acorn get top marks in class? Because it was totally nuts about geometry! I hooked my curved hands around the smooth shell, trying to hoist it onto my head, but it rolled across the mossy stone and bumped my boots with a tiny click.
